Awesome looking trucks. I'm not lucky enough to have a son to work on mine with me. So this summer I'll just have to send the little women to her parents and take my 3 year old daughter out and show her how to work on trucks. The wife says that kind of stuff is for boys. Just wait until my daughter can tune a Holley and set points better than any of the guys at school. I guess points are kinda outdated now, but I'll make sure she knows how!

Both are nice but I do like Wes the best. Yel, I am sure you and your son have no problem finding parts.

my daughter is also 3. she loves going out to the shop while i work on my truck. she keeps all my screwdrivers in order, plays in the the kitty litter thats soaking up the oil i spilled,and she gets a kick out of sitting behind the wheel pretending to drive and making motor noises. i think you're just as lucky having a daughter. and she enjoys this just as much as playing dress up and with dolls.

I can understand. My wife is always trying to get me to wash and wax her jeep. I do my truck and Burb but figure it would be good for her to get out and wash and wax her on car. I had three girls and had to pay them to wash and wax when they were younger.

If I remember right, I think I was the same way when I was that age. Was I ever that age. Seems so-o-o- long ago.

Looks nice. I saw the garden truck at one of the swap meets not too long ago, it is very nice. Your sons truck is very sharp too. I like the wheel/tire combo. You really don't see combos like that on the classic trucks.

Wes, both those trucks look damn nice. I'm not a fan of big wheels on your son's, I like the wheels, just not that big. I also like the more stock look of yours. I'd sure love to be able to get anything I needed for my truck from my dad.
