Went for a cruise with my Dad (2 SWB 402s)
Pops and I went for a ride today. He got me into cars, drag racing, and C10s. Both trucks are 402s, (mine is a transplant) AC, etc. Stopped at our old home near Millarville, Alberta. I have so many memories of walking up and down this driveway for the school bus. There's a little shed he built behind my truck (Green) for us to wait in if it was really cold.
  Black Diamond, Alberta.  Typical Alberta background.

Everything about that is cool. One of the best reasons there is to have an old truck. Both of your rigs look great, and what a beautiful day up there.

Both of those trucks are very nice rides for sure, and to spend it with Pop's is even better. Enjoy a few more of those days whenever and however possible.

Funny story. My Dad had stag in Black Diamond 40+ years ago, at the hotel we had lunch at during the cruise. They somehow made it home and proceeded to attempt to break a horse in, then steer wrestle.
