Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Thanks for sharing! Where was the show? I was hoping to make it down to Ottawa for the River Run, but didn't work out this year. Missed the Midwest All Truck Nationals the weekend before too!

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Let's see how do I want to start this off. Oh yeah, today was one of my best days lately. As most of you know my wife Aggie, has been in a nursing home for the last 2-1/2 yrs., I see her everyday, but today was special.
With the help of her nurse and CNA's we were able to get her in my roadster pickup. Wasn't sure if the Hoyer lift would clear everything, but it did. As a matter of fact, it was easier that I thought it would be. So I plan on doing this more, maybe this year, but for sure in the spring when it's a little cooler. So after she was in the truck we went and visited some friends, then went to lunch at Sonic drive inn. After lunch we came to the house for her to see the dogs, and what Mark was working on. Then visit a few more friends, and a nice drive down some winding roads. Enjoying ourself, but it was 87 out today and she was getting hot, so we had to cut it short (we were out for about 3 hrs) and take her back. She was so happy to get out and enjoy the ride. Here's some pics Pic 1 Aggie in the Hoyer lift going in. Pic 2 Putting her in the seat. Pic 3 Here she is with my and crying, cause she's so happy to ride in the truck again, after so many years. Pic 4 Lunch as Sonic. I know this isn't truck related, but it shows how close we come with our rides and what it means to enjoy them with someone you Love...Jim

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Me Too! rain drops trickle down my cheeks, Aggie looks pretty GOOD sitting in that Truck. So glad you can do this I'm betting she still has a Smile Ear to Ear. By the way looks like your dropping a few pounds what's your secret?

Re: My 50 roadster pickup build
Oh my!! Yes it really is amazing how things like your truck have such an imprint on our lives. You have an awesome relationship, so nice to see. I hope I have that kind of bond when I get older.

Hey guys, can't put to words how great it makes me feel, that all of you have responded to this. All I can say is I never knew years ago, that I would step-up when the time came. I know in my heart that each of you would do the same. We just have to deal with LIFE, as it is pushed toward us. God bless all of you, and I appreciate every word...Jim

You are a hell of a man. By the way it is a truck story, the human beings behind them are important also. Good man.
