What has your special someone bought for your truck?

My girlfriend bought me this magnet for my truck this past weekend. (I marked out the swear word to keep it g-rated) I laughed because I HATE when people criticize my daily driver and tell how they would have done things differently. What has your loved ones bought you for your truck?

I like it! My gal bless her heart, Went to a swap meet and noticed that when we got back there were a pair of clean rims sitting in the truck. I asked here where these came from and she said happy fathers day honey. Well I bought 2 more later to get a full set. Not exactly what I had planned but heck. It was pretty cool of her to do.

mine worked out a little differently. my birthday occurs around father's day so the kids/grandkids combine them for me. they wanted to buy something for the truck and i had just ordered all the trim items i needed to finish the truck. i gave them the packing list and let them pick out parts to "sponsor". hinge mounted mirror, etc. it worked out well for everyone, especially me.

A sticker with several classic trucks I keep under the glass of my desk. Besides that, not exactly for the truck, but a '53 1:18 model.

My wife Roberta sanded and finished my bed wood which I thought was pretty neat. She hasn't really bought anything for it but she's got a good bit of labor in it.

My wifes contribution will be doing the upholstery in my/our trucks, thats her trade so i consider myself VERY lucky. And she rarely objects when i want to buy something needed for the truck. Shes a keeper.

My wife bought the paint job for my truck. At Christmas she gave me a small box and in it was a stack of 100 dollar bills and 2 paint samples: Red & Black

Wow, your loved ones really have come through for most of you. I bought a truck and all I got from my GF was a lousy magnetic. lol KIDDING! I have been blessed as many of you have been as well. I think we are all lucky when we have our family and friends support our addiction, I mean passions.
