Then and now.
Oldest son from 1 to 21! He's been in the Air Force 3.5 years and is home for Christmas. The first thing he wanted to do was take the truck out for a drive. I've had this truck years before my sons were born so they have literally grown up in it.

Re: Then and now.
A Big Thanks for your Service. Enjoy your leave and the Truck. My boys grew up with my truck too. I’ve had it 36 years and the boys are 38 & 40. They both drove it to high school and still ask to take it for a ride all the time. Merry Christmas and Hopes for a Great New Year

Re: Then and now.
Thank you guys for all the great responses to my post. He will be headed back to England Saturday after being home 2 weeks. Never easy seeing him leave and at the same time very proud of him for serving his country. The man he has become over the last few years would make any parent proud. Remember him and all of our troops in you thoughts and prayers.

Re: Then and now.
This post made me smile! My son is almost 30 and loved riding in my truck when he was a toddler. He loves to take it for a spin when he can now.
