Thought someone might like this......

My grandpa passes away in May and my grandma wanted to start cleaning out the garage since she had the time and had been wanting to do it for a long time! I was helping her clean up and looked in a cabinet and found the truck. My grandma said she thinks my grandpa bought it for me sometime ago for christmas but forgot where it had been stored! Just wanted to share it and though some one (hog fans) would enjoy the picture of the truck!

Hope everyone has a good Christmas and Happy New Year!

Zack

Just in time for Christmas too. Nice model truck and nice happy thoughts about your grandpa finding something he thought you would like even though he most likely forgot where he stashed it.

Thanks,
