Can't get better than this--my two year old working on my 1971 stepside with her own tools!!!

raceman29 · 10-10-2007, 09:51 PM

1971ChevyTruck · 10-10-2007, 09:52 PM

Thats what I'm afraid of!!!

Imacarguytoo · 10-10-2007, 09:55 PM

Thats a cool picture. Where are in you in Illinois. Im right outside Bloomington.

1971ChevyTruck · 10-10-2007, 09:56 PM

Right up by Dixon IL--hour away from Rockford

67_C-30 · 10-10-2007, 10:42 PM

Cool pic! I can't keep my 4 yr old outta mine either. I begged me to take the pic below, and I couldn't say no!

Longhorn Man · 10-10-2007, 10:49 PM

they do grow up too fast. This is my son kissing the tailgate of my old GMC...that woulda been a few days after getting it, so that woulda been nov of 2000.
He'll be 14 tomorow (11 oct) and is taller than his mom, and getting close to my height now.

I swear I'm too young to have a teenager.

DavesRide · 10-10-2007, 10:51 PM

thanks for pics, glad you have kids involved to share the future love of the TRUCK

Jerry Jones · 10-10-2007, 10:52 PM

Very cool!

**Ron 586** · 10-10-2007, 11:04 PM

This is Hannah and she is 3. I started her tool collection on her 1st birthday and added to it at Christmas. I have kept it up and want her to have a nice set of tools and know how to use them when she grows up.

bkrscum · 10-10-2007, 11:24 PM

I had my 14 y/o helping tear apart my 72 Sub this past weekend.

69RAT · 10-11-2007, 12:00 AM

I don't have the pic anymore, but my son took the grinder to mine when he was 3. I'd just replaced the rocker cab corner and was grinding a weld, guess where the grinder went through!! Three guesses what he's driving now, and yes the first two don't count. We were tuning it up and his son (4) grabbed a hammer and went at it. I couldn't help laughing while he was spanking the #$@! out of him! Talk about bringing back memories......

Awesome pic - I can't wait until mine are old enough

Luvlegs · 10-11-2007, 08:26 AM

Here's my youngest at 13 months - she's 19 months now - loves trash and recycling nights because we use the truck to carry it up to the road...

68Stepbed · 10-11-2007, 09:35 AM

I just have to upload these. My son loved to help Daddy and Grampa work on daddy's truck. I think he tightened every bolt and rivet in the frame that night.

My father in law is from Rockford and has a bunch of cool cars. My wife talked to him the other day and he just bought a 47 Chevy truck and 53 GMC.
He also just built a huge shop. I just can't handle the winter up there!

67ChevyRedneck · 10-11-2007, 09:41 AM

My dad has one of me when I was about 8, he was putting the interior back in his freshly painted 67 firebird and I fell asleep in the driver seat on the garage floor. That was about '89.

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 10-11-2007, 10:33 AM

And then they grow up. (This pic was staged and the cans are NOT open)

**Yukon Jack** · 10-11-2007, 12:07 PM

Great pics!

Here is a pic that is about 6-7 years old at this point

My little girls aren't so little now!

tcb-1 · 10-11-2007, 12:55 PM

here's mine. my boy was smiling from ear to ear. got this picture on my office door now. love my boy!!!

fun in dirt · 10-11-2007, 02:06 PM

Our little wrench money loves helping too!

chvtrkman · 10-11-2007, 03:22 PM

Guys these pictures are precious! It's great to see so many lil' ones wanting to be right in there helping Dad. Keep 'em coming!!!!

72BlckButy · 10-11-2007, 07:37 PM

Now wait until all the guys in town thinks she is cool, because she works/drives a truck!

Nothing like working with your kids.

**68 Stepside** · 10-11-2007, 07:56 PM

Cool pics guys. I have a few pics of my nephew standing on my drivers side step 7 years ago......he's 10 now, still loves the truck, even though it's a turd now, compared to how it looked then

If I could just teach us both a little patience, he'd sure be a big help when I'm working on it

Imacarguytoo, where is "just outside of bloomington"? I'm about 20 minutes north of the twin cities.

Sport/Truck · 10-12-2007, 07:08 AM

Here's mine, he was about 18 months old... loves to help!
