Your truck looks awsome as usual, but wasn't WWII over before 1951?

I think people ask that repeatedly since they really don't know what else to say, but they do appreciate the vehicle! It does get old though! Make sure you use that tape that dosen't leave any residue! LOL!

Again, your truck looked great!

The parents bought a '53 Dodge M-37 years ago, but that thing is way too rusted and beat to hell. Nobody would want it in their parade!

What, no babes in your truck this time?!

I'd hate to ride that old Harley in a parade with the suicide clutch, it would be on its side as much as upright!

That is one smart looking truck, yes indeed! How old is your grandson, 3-3 1/2? My son just turned 3 and looks to be about the same age.

Good looking truck, love to see events like this. Fewer and fewer WWII vets every year. I remember as a kid where I grew up we had a Memorial day, Forth of July, and Labor day parade and hamburgers and hotdogs afterwards.

You remind me of my father. My son is his only grand baby. My sisters unable to have children and we weren't planning on have any. You should have seen how excited him and my mother were when i told them. My boy definitely has him wrapped around his little finger...junior can do no wrong!
No offense to your son and all...but it sounds like you are raising that boy right...Ford or nothing!!!!!!!!
