That's too cool! It seems like just yesterday my son/daughter were that small.

My son is 16 and stands 6'2", and my daughter is 13 and standing 5'5".

They both still fondly remember "Daddy's Bumpy Truck". It was a lwb '67 w/small back glass, lowered to the ground, Centerline disc wheels, w/Mickey Thompson 50's on the rear, and it was Canary Yellow.

And yes, it was very bumpy. I traded it off in Irving, TX and sure wish I could have a "do over" and get it back.

I now have a lwb '72 that's grn/white w/Eagle Outlaw wheels. The green on your truck is what mine was originally before the PO repainted it.

Do you know what the name of the color you have is called?

That's a great picture! Won't be long he'll be asking for the keys...

ashx2, I think it's called medium olive.

67CHIP72 · 12-08-2008, 01:18 AM

Medium Olive. Time goes by so quick. Gotta enjoy these moments.

AWWWWWWWWWW

This is my nephew at my wedding. My mom says he looks a lot like me when I was his age.

My dad says he LOVES trucks. Unfortunately I don't get to see him often (or my nieces) as they all live up in NY

That is just too COOL. My son(3 in Feb) LOVES to help/drive/ride all of my trucks. Good Times.

It's never to early to start on his truck.... great way to get it past the wife!

**WorkinLonghorn** · 12-08-2008, 10:05 AM

Do they sell little toy wrenches?
Maybe pretend grease to put all over their little hands?
Should start those kids out early.

**Stocker** · 12-08-2008, 10:14 AM

Yeah, there are tool kits for kids -- but you don't need fake grease, the little buggers usually find plenty of ways to get dirty!

67CHIP72 · 12-10-2008, 12:09 AM

Great shot 67ChevyRedneck. Hope you get to see him soon. I don't get to see my brothers kids in Texas too often so I know how you feel; they are growing like weeds.

67ChevyRedneck · 12-10-2008, 12:22 AM

...actually.... I'm going to NY this Friday for about a week 'n a half
