Patience my friend....don't rush them, that could cause hard feelings. Just become their friends and don't bring up the subject very often

They’ve been very kind with sending photos of the truck and exchanging messages backs and fourth. I’m being patient, but I do wonder how much that truck is worth.

It’s in Gods hands and I am putting my trust fully into him

Sentimental value is not easy to value. Sometimes it’s not the money at all. I have lots of vehicles going to crap around me just because the owners won’t let go. My motto is if you’re not going to do something with it move it along to someone who will...

I feel the same way about my 72, no amount of money can replace the attachment I have to it...I waited over 20 years for it but I also knew it was coming my way. Keep your faith, keep in contact and dont push them away. It'll be yours someday.

My dad has a black 56 chevy short step that his grandfather, so my great grandfather, bought new and used on the farm for many years. I hope to have that truck someday as well. Sounds like our grandpas had similar (great) taste in trucks!!
