But I remember my kids riding in it when they were very young . I have often thought of giving it to one of my two daughters but they really do not have a way to store it and take care of it. They just are not truck people although one likes it alot. I guess this makes me realize I need to have a conversation about this because sentimental value counts for more than money. But I also have grandchildren, and that opens up other things to consider. I hope that you find your truck in your driveway one day. At least you have fond memories of your grandfather, and that counts for a lot.


If I remember correctly as a small child we would run to my great grandmothers in it, and go get snacks at the local gas station. It would mean so much to me to be able to purchase it and own it

Fingers crossed
