he is a month old now so it may be a while before he puts it together.

Very wise selection in a "birthday gift." Sooooooooo how much is his insurance going to be?

orange72c10 · 10-15-2007, 11:29 AM

HAHA very nice choice!! Get them started young!!

Luvlegs · 10-15-2007, 12:14 PM

And his first project truck SHOULD have all the parts he needs... if not, granpa probably has some... hahhaha

**70cst** · 10-15-2007, 12:22 PM

Hey Grandpa billsbowtie...
Why isn't your grandson smiling? He should have a grin a mile wide? Oh I know...you bought the truck and it has a small block and not a 402 BB. I bet if you tell him you will install a 402 BB then the grin will develop. I am sure glad he wasn't given a Ford. Who knows what he would have done. Again this young man and supporter of 67-72 Chevy/GMC trucks has a very very wise grandpa!!

billsbowtie · 10-15-2007, 12:39 PM

heres the best one i have of him smileing. he always smiles when i can't get to the cam. he is thinking bb in this pic.

**70cst** · 10-15-2007, 01:20 PM

BINGO!!!! Your Grandson has the beginnning of wisdom that no school can teach. Let the party begin!
PS...Soooooo what are you going to buy your grandson for his 16th birthday?

billsbowtie · 10-15-2007, 01:24 PM

i still have 15 years and 11 months to think about that.

72BlckButy · 10-15-2007, 02:06 PM

Gotta start them early!

BB72CHEVKT · 10-15-2007, 04:16 PM

that's cool!

billsbowtie · 10-15-2007, 09:48 PM

he's a month old and it took me this long to find him one. i been getting him tractors he has a colection of them to.

wibilly · 10-15-2007, 10:56 PM

so you buy all these trucks in pieces you don't tear them all apart lol in that last pic it looks like you musta told him it was a bb truck

billsbowtie · 10-16-2007, 11:23 AM

by the time he gets old enough to drive he may want to put a 4 cyl. in it because of gas prices. my frist car was a 72 chevelle with a 396 it got 8 miles to the gal.

Botietruck · 10-16-2007, 06:13 PM

Bill, If you decide to part that one out, put me in line for the front clip!!!!!!!!LOL!!
Great looking grandson there!

billsbowtie · 10-16-2007, 11:11 PM

thanks botietruck

**70cst** · 10-16-2007, 11:18 PM

Hey billsbowtie...I forgot to tell you that you need to teach your grandson that the only girl worth looking at is a girl who likes Chevy's and GMC's. I am sure you have had a Grandpa and Grandson talk but I just wanted to make sure you had your bases covered.

72armyswbtruck · 10-16-2007, 11:20 PM

Gottal love getting them started early, the sooner the better

Cute GS Bill!
My grandson just turned two last week and he loves Hot Wheels cars, so he took all my die cast 69 trucks off the shelf in the garage and now I cant find them.
I dont know whether to hug him again or cry.
