Congratulations! Your kids, and generations on, will keep the flame going, because they'll recall the memories you created in these memorable machines.

I have a similar story about my son. I was trying to have the "I'm gonna die some day son, and these are my plans concerning what I'm gonna leave you" He stated, "Dad, you don't have to give me anything, you have already provided it" But he added, "I guess I could take Ginger and drive my boys around in it like you did me" (my '63 C-10). Since he put it that way, I embarked on a frame off restoration. He will be driving his inheritance. I don't really think we are the owners of these 'ol trucks, more like caretakers.This is more than a hobby, it is a lifestyle to most of us. Enjoy your daughters wedding!
