A friend of mine Tony who passed away left me his truck. It was primered and the wiring was really bad. I gave it to another friend who wanted to restore it and this is what he did to the truck. I think Tony would have liked it.

Very nice!!

Looks like she found the right home. Good job.

**70cst** · 12-17-2019, 11:52 AM

Excellent truck and story

SCOTI · 12-17-2019, 02:04 PM

Awesome what you did & again what your buddy did to keep Tony's truck/memory alive. Bunch of good people on this site & in this 'car' culture.

**Ol Blue K20** · 12-17-2019, 02:04 PM

Very nice,

**special-K** · 12-17-2019, 05:51 PM

Hey Rick, good to see your name. Sorry about your friend Tony's passing. It's awesome he gave you his truck. Says a lot about you. Then there is passing it on, which says even more. Way to go and you obviously gave it to the right person.

**Steeveedee** · 12-17-2019, 07:54 PM

That's beautiful!

Feel exactly the same, but would not be able to express in english.
Great stuff.

Great to pass the truck to someone who will cherish it.

I would say that one, you have lost a very good friend, and your sharing this at the time of year now is just awesome.

**special-K** · 12-19-2019, 09:13 AM

Thanks Gerhart, I'm glad to know you would say the same. You, too, are a good man, I can tell. Say it in German. I'd like to learn

Hallo Rick eine großartige Geschichte über eine großartige Freundschaft. Ohne Euch zu kennen, verrät Sie viel über Euch. So wird die Freude über das wundervolle Auto die Trauer über den verlorenen Freund besiegen.

**72 Super** · 12-19-2019, 09:24 PM

Sorry to hear about your friend. Condolence to his family. I am sure He is looking down and smiling though. You have done a very nice job on his/your truck.

Could you type a little slower? My German is not that good

Awesome. That's great! I'll study this and break it all down. And once I'm done in a few months I'll be back for my next lesson

I'm a witness. ...you asked for it Tim.

**special-K** · 12-20-2019, 10:48 AM

I really am going to save and use this to get me started on learning German. Comprende? (See? Already learned some)

Oui, est que correct.

67C10Step · 12-20-2019, 11:06 AM

Very sorry for the loss of your friend but he obviously knew you would do the right thing with the truck. You then knew who would do that right thing and passed it along. I am certain both your friends appreciated you very much.

Great truck and those with stories like this one are so much the better.
