Very nice. Driving my Dad's truck just makes me feel closer to him somehow. I bet you feel the same about your Grandpa. Nice pictures. You will keep her running I bet.

Very nice truck. Keep it looking good & running strong. Yea the truck I am working on it ain't my grandpa's truck but the same year an using his old tools an stuff on it. Just wish he was around with his truck 50 years difference in age an same year truck it would have been nice. But keep in going an in the family an pass it on down an take pictures & memories along the way with it.
