Re: My story on how I got involved in these trucks
A sad day for Sammy, but he lives on in your trucks, all the bolts turned and rides taken. Good times.
Dashman, I hope I make as far as they did. |

Re: My story on how I got involved in these trucks
So sorry for your loss.
I lost my Daddy 19 years ago. He served in the Air Force as did my Momma's Father. (My Grandpa). They both helped me with my Truck passion. Again, My Deepest Condolences for your loss.

Re: My story on how I got involved in these trucks
That's a nice story, but a tough loss. My son who is several states away had my 69 for a few years. He drove it mostly on weekends to Home Depot or the recycle center, with his kids along for the ride smiling all the way! He spent lots of money at his friend's shop on paint, body, and trim, then later sent it back to me to fix some mechanical and electrical issues. Of course I've added things it didn't really need, like headers! When I leave this earth, he'll get the truck back, and I doubt he'll ever sell it.

Re: My story on how I got involved in these trucks
sorry for your loss, i'm going to be going through the same thing sooner than later, my dad is a month away from 93 and his health is declining quickly. I lost my mom shortly after i graduated high school in 1976- she was only 41-from cancer. please accept my condolences.
