Before and After ... your kids and your truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CG · 03-04-2016, 08:52 PM

Ive been going back quite a ways in the threads lately looking for ideas. There are tons of pics of your kids with your trucks in some pretty old threads. Id love to see pics of your kids with your truck from back then and now.

I have pics of my kids with my first 67-72 truck somewhere, and I have pics of my grand daughter next to the truck somewhere lol. But it is no longer my truck so no now pictures lol

aboesec10 · 03-04-2016, 09:24 PM

I've got a few in my build thread, Need to get some new ones as my garage buddy has grown a bit since those were taken.

CG · 03-04-2016, 09:27 PM

I was looking at some ten year old threads and I know some of those trucks are still in the family. Little bitty kids helping out back then =)

aboesec10 · 03-04-2016, 09:32 PM

my guys only 6 now, he was 3ish when i started, can't seem to find the older ones on my computer, but heres a couple from last year. He loves showing it off and telling people about it and that it is his....

**special-K** · 03-05-2016, 12:33 AM

I have one with my son on his bike in front of a '55 I had at, I believe, the firt truck show at Carlisle, PA when it was the Chevy/GMC Truckin' Nationals sponsored by Golden State. I'll have to scan it. I have one that he took from in the '71 Custom Camper going down I-70 of me riding in the next lane on my Harley. I somehow screwed it up resizing and now it's really small, I'll have to find it in P-bucket. Here is one about 10 years ago (14 y.o.) of him helping me move a truck around. I'll have to get one of him now in the '72 GMC, one in the camper earlier, and even earlier in my dad's car. I know it's not my truck, but I came across it and think it's cool for before and after anyway

Here's one of my son on our way home from buying Ole Blu. It was a 400 mile trip that went off without a hitch. Thank God. I would have never heard the last of it from my wife if I needed to tow my new truck home.

**special-K** · 03-05-2016, 09:20 AM

I don't know what it is, but for some reason I get the impression your son really enjoyed that trip and it will be something that stays with him for life. Great move! If it broke down it would have shown him dad knows what to do no matter what happens. Life ain't perfect and it's not as much about what happens to you as it is what you do when it happens. A good lesson for all to learn. I'm sorry you didn't break down

Ringo934 · 03-05-2016, 09:25 AM

Still, I would of had to hear about how we broke down after paying $10,00.00 for a truck on the drive home for the rest of my life. My son enjoys our truck and helps dad fix things on it all the time. He even has his very own set of tools.

midniteblues · 03-05-2016, 09:27 AM

ten years ago i wasnt taking many pics if i did it was with disposable cameras but i did take a few.these are pics of pics

a day or two after we drug his truck home.

he was 14 and clueless when this pic was taken of him scrubbing the engine bay.

then then the 10yr later pic.

midniteblues · 03-05-2016, 09:35 AM

then we got the little guys truck he was 6 when i drove this one home he didnt have any intrest in it(too young too understand).

but after the first ride last christmas he doesnt stop talkin about it.

MrBlue · 03-05-2016, 12:44 PM

Almost 6 years ago, right after we finished. And it is still one of my favorites.

Getting your kids involved is what really makes it.

cypressbog · 03-05-2016, 04:16 PM

Sorry no pics here. The time spent on my truck is time well spent away from the kids

My boy at 5. He's going to be 10 in a few months.

Most recent. Please excuse his attire.. He was inside the house and wanted to come into the garage. It was December, so he had to put on his coat and boots

Yes, and thank you

She was 9 months in the first pic, 17 now. Unreal it seems..

CG · 03-06-2016, 03:21 AM

Two great pics guys! And sboris Id like to do a similar version of your truck with mine. My last K20 (71) was the same color except faded, its just a really great color.

**Blue/72** · 03-06-2016, 04:14 AM

He is a before of me with my 72, I had some of my senior pictures done with the truck

dirish · 03-06-2016, 07:23 AM
