Lemme see. You work at a scrap yard. You got a free truck and now, most likely, unlimited access to parts for the freebie. Wow!, need any help there lol. Looking forward to the pics. Enjoy that quality time. It goes by WAY to fast!

How about a picture of the truck itself? All I see in your album is pictures of what you have been workin on under the truck, I wanna see the truck now. By the way, workin on vehicles is great together time, I rebuild vehicles with my dad and we have a blast workin on them! I hope your son likes it as much as I do!
