Love those trucks. I really like your Dad's '68 dump. That is a really nice looking truck with cool custom add ons.

Thanks for sharing!

Ive always drove and beat on this truck, took it to the track a few times and drove it to the rod run doing 85 the whole way down and back... but after it gets painted and all the rock chips and dings are gone I think Im gonna be a little easier on it. its had a hard 6 years since its been done I think its finally time to just cruise it. for a little bit anyway lol

Yeah, that won't last long.

I once said the same thing, and I got over it pretty quick.
