Yeah, I'd say he looks happy! Great story and great photos!
I lived for three years up Highway 33 (Top of Philpott Road in Joe Rich) and loved the snow. Sure miss it sometimes.

You have a couple of very nice trucks. I love 67's that work and I especially like the lights on the bumper in front....sharp!

My first vehicle was a 1970 Scout ll hardtop....sure wish I still had that one. I could outclimb ALL my friends who had Blazers and Broncos...they hated me.

I wish I could take my daughters out in my truck, but down here they have to be in car seats and I don't have three point belts (yet). Looks like you had fun, if I lived there I would go out every weekend and get another tree (maybe a few for the neighbors). Great truck too, nice to see one sitting up high instead of dragging on the ground.

killer71 · 12-14-2008, 08:18 PM

sounds like u had fun...one fine truck!!

Great story! The last time I had a Blue Spruce for a Christmas tree was when I was a kid living in Castle Rock, Colorado and My Dad bought one in a pot. We planted it in our field and I got a look at it in 2007 and it was about 18' tall. Good memories; your boy will remember everything. Merry Christmas!

DirtyLarry · 12-15-2008, 12:58 AM

Great pictures, nice truck and the family is all smiles too! These pictures would make nice Christmas cards.

I was thinkin the same thing when I saw that first pic!

DirtyLarry · 12-15-2008, 01:44 AM

Our first Christmas that we were back in CO, we wanted to get a real Christmas tree so we went with a friend up to his property to cut down our own trees. For some reason, the wife didn’t think these pictures would have made as a neat Christmas card as I did.

LuckyHenriksen · 12-15-2008, 02:09 AM

Those are awesome pics man. I was looking forward to going out and finding a tree in my truck (minus the snow) but my mom went and bought a fake tree.... lame. Cool pics, even cooler truck and its nice to see you with your son!

blackscout · 12-15-2008, 03:35 AM

Ron, Original HO52 out back and a 3/4 44 up front. thinkin about changin em up to a 14 bolt with a detroit in the rear and a 60 up front. but just thinkin, cause the old one still work fine. I am a believer.... If it ain't broke....

Larry, sweet truck I sold an 86 swb 4x4 after I got big red. I kind miss that little shortbox, It was a 4 speed with one hell of a motor. Broke the damn frame!

To everyone else thanks for the nice words and merry christmas to all!
