What did your truck look like when you acquired it? Here's my 67 Chevy about 25 years ago on our farm. I took this when I was 5 years old with a old camera mom gave me. If I hadn't taken this I wouldn't have a pic of what it looked like when I started 6 years later at the tender age of 11 when my dad gave it to me. Both my brothers and sisters had nice, running vehicles given to them when they turned 16. I wonder what happened when it came my turn?

Cool old picture Stano. What's that ramp-looking thing on the back of the old picture?

Looks like your dad knew what he was doing.

I think your pops knew who could get the job done. Looks great!

Your Dad gave you something much more valuable than a " running vehicle", he gave you an opportunity to fuel your passion and recieve an education.

How's the saying go? Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day, but teach a man to fish and he will eat every day. Or was that he will buy a boat and sit and drink in it....

Toms68 the ramp thing you speak of is a divider out of a 2 horse,horse trailer. The ol truck spent from 1979-1987ish sitting there being a shelf for stuff that was not wanted to sit on the ground. The original bed was behind the barn piled with several hundred cedar fence posts filling it and leaned against it which made the bed sides look like a old washboard. And when the posts were gone lots of other stuff took residence in there. The interior was home to numerous greasy oily auto and equipment parts for all those years. Even once had a 300lb steel hog trough dropped on the cab. Didn't even leave a dent(that was luck).

Lets see some of the other members before and after pics. I played in that old truck from the time I was strong enough to open the door, mom used to get aggravated at me cause she would send me out to play and had me fairly clean and I would return looking like a mechanic that had been working under a grease ball all day.LOL
