grandpas trucks




The orange on is my personal favorite, but if you ever drive it there's a large chance of being pulled over do to glass packs haha







He has a lot more but all covered up right now, the two pics are from last winter when we put them in the new building. We had a fire a few years back and lost one that had a special motor in it and was the nicest one of all... If we can find a rust free body cheap there will be a reavuild in my future. Maybe by the time I'm old enough to drive (I'm 14)? We have two really good beds but the front ends are cooked... The two nice one were between the one that started the fire.

Your grandpa certainly does have good tastes. And I assume that those trucks will stay in the family once grand dad passes? It would be a shame to let them all go.

Absolutely lovely! I am envious of you all! Gramps should be congratulated for his forethought on acquiring those beautiful vehicles.

Yep he said when he passes each one of his kids and grandkids get one or two. Hes 84 now and takes them out to wash them and drive around in them. His first truly new truck was a 78 that is parked in there. He fell in love with the restored 4x4s at that point and kept buying them.

yep! He started our farm back in the 50s and we farm 3,000 acres now! The stories he has to tell are amazing...

I like the trucks a lot. Thanks for including the Deeres too. That's a nice "D"...and 4020's are hard to beat.
