maiden voyage and one proud papa!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

prostreetC-10 · 08-28-2009, 12:14 AM

Just had to share. Took my 17 mo. old son out today for his first "cruise". He normally cries when he hears the truck start up and take off. After doing some work on the seat belts and getting the car seat in tight, I decided to take the little booger with me. Needless to say I was super stoked and proud when he didn't cry. He loved it. I even had him laughing as I was jacking on the throttle going down the highway. Gentlemen.....I think we have another one on our team!!!!

Nice and congrats!

Richard8971 · 08-28-2009, 12:28 AM

Cute little bugger!

Twisted78SS · 08-28-2009, 12:32 AM

Very nice,

You did get him signed up as a supporting member right?

*highperf4x4* · 08-28-2009, 12:34 AM

Awesome!

VA72C10 · 08-28-2009, 12:39 AM

Cool man, way to start him early. My four year old daugter gets the first ride in my truck when it gets back on the road...

prostreetC-10 · 08-28-2009, 12:40 AM

Up until today, this pic was all he got. Now I realize that I have the freaking "Willy Wonka Golden Ticket to Cruise". Now when my wife asks what I'm going to do later on, I can say "spend a little time with my son!" My daughter and her have the horses and Jr and I have the horsepower!!!

tcb-1 · 08-28-2009, 07:08 AM

love pics like these! he'll cherish those memories when he grows up.

good looking little man!

**special-K** · 08-28-2009, 08:13 AM

Kids under 12 eat free

.He`s already a member.

Dayum...He`s a mini you!what`s that saying? "He looks like you spit him out." I hope that`s right or it doesn`t sound that good.

coloradosean2009 · 08-28-2009, 08:39 AM

Love the pics. Great looking family and tuck. Where did you get the side mirror? I like the look.

gcburdic · 08-28-2009, 08:39 AM

Dude....he's got the wave down and everything!!!

Ackattack · 08-28-2009, 10:03 AM

Awesome!

I wanted to have my truck finished before my son was born. Didn't happen. Maybe I'll be able to take him for a ride on his 1st birthday. (he's 5 months old

)

I wanna say it's listed as a '67 side mirror. I think all the LMC, GMC Paul, etc places have them. I think the truck is supposed to have a square one from the factory but I think the round one looks better. Thanks for the question.

**Stocker** · 08-28-2009, 10:31 AM

Definitely too cool! Won't be too long (they grow up waaaaay too fast!) before you can start a father/son build on his truck!

BossHogg69 · 08-28-2009, 10:34 AM

He'll have a blast learning how to drive a stick in that beast!

Beats the '80 model Chevy Luv I learned to drive a 4spd on!

big_al_71 · 08-28-2009, 10:39 AM

That is AWESOME!!!!!
I took my one year old with mama to a cruise last month he was loving it also!!!!

chevy72pu · 08-28-2009, 11:08 AM

How cool is that!!! Enjoy it now and take lot's of pics ' cause he'll be grown next thing you know.

71swb4x4 · 08-28-2009, 11:11 AM

That may prove to be one expensive ride. You just may lose your truck over it, if not you will be buying him one!

Gumby'sC20 · 08-28-2009, 11:56 AM

I wish they started me that early...my Dad still thinks cars [or trucks] are a Point A to B kind of matter.

Your son will appreciate this when he's older. Congrats!

Actually, he's getting the 67 Fastback. And what's really cool is that I will get to enjoy it for 15 years before he is old enough. Can you say 347 roller stroker??

Hottrucks · 08-28-2009, 01:02 PM

so things you shoud add to your truck

one every good builder knows what thats for
two is so he can reach the pedals a set of wood blocks ( pic wouldnt post)
three well he needs to shift

way to go man hopefully some day when were in diapers he can return the favor!!

vwdemon34 · 08-28-2009, 01:07 PM

A loving family is the most welth any man could want. Enjoy this and charish it. they grow up way to quick.
