grandkids
 

Took my 2 granddaughters on a drive this evening through some off roads and they had a bunch of fun (staying with us for a bit). Thought I would start a thread with pics. of grandkids and trucks.
We seen 8 deer and lost count on rabbits but the most fun was going through the window cranks, 2 gear shifts, turn the knobs for the radio. Had to explain everything. I was told the mirrors were way better than the ones we now have. This will be something I do every summer as it was as much fun as taking them to an amusement park or something like that. Just thought I would share and if anybody had similar experiences to post.
Thanks Russ

They look tall enough to reach the pedals....teach them to drive that classic!

Re: grandkids
 

Lol yeah! Do it they are ready and they will remember that for ever.

My granddaughter is young enough to require a car seat (3 yo), but old enough to get a big kick out of riding in granddad's truck without one, standing in the seat, without the restraint of the seat belt. The look in her eyes says "Granddad and his truck are Awesome". Don't flame me...the ride was just on my private drive at 5 miles an hour with Mom. Just a little taste of the way it used to be. Anybody remember laying in the rear package tray on a long trip while mom held the younger baby sibling in her lap?

My nieces and nephews also light-up when they can ride in the bed of my 4x4 while taking a tour of the property...it's just something they can't do in suburbia. It's like breaking the law!

My 17 year old grandson likes to drive my old '69 C 10 . Mostly because it's a manual trans I think . Quite a few years back it was running rough and backfiring when he was riding in it with me for a test drive . He asked " WHAT WAS THAT ?" . I told him it backfired . He said "DO IT AGAIN POPPIE " . Silly boy .

Re: grandkids
 

I used to be that little kid in grandma and grandpas '72 C10, learned to drive in that truck while combining beans one fall on the farm. The truck is now mine and I'm finishing up the restoration. My little 4 year old loves to help in the shop, even has his own shop goggles haha. He will be the 4th generation to own this truck

Re: grandkids
 

You guys are lucky. I have 3 sons in their 30s who haven't seen fit to spawn, yet. :/

Re: grandkids
 

My daughters and granddaughters love to go places in the Suburban...usually the beach...but also out into the darkness to see the Bethlehem Star...or just running errands with Gramps!

My little granddaughter Brooklyn absolutely loves my truck. She was so excited when it finally came back from the driveline shop

Re: grandkids

Re: grandkids
 

My grandson, when showing his friends around my place:

"That's my grandpa. He's grumpy. Don't try to correct him".

I will share this.
My GrandPa moved to my location in the early 70's and built a shop.

He shared his knowledge and I hinged on every word.

I have the manuel crank Drill press that He taught me to drill holes with.
It is Mounted in my dining room in the cathedral ceiling.

He shared Knowledge with me That can Not be found on the In ter net :metal:

I was blessed to have that Experience in my Life:chevy:

I have tried to share my knowledge to the young people that will listen.;)

Hang in there It is a Different World :uhmk:

Not the one we was (Young) In.
