Recycling Everyday!

This is the truck that really started it all.  While I have built many in the past, this was my ultimate test so far.  It was a daily driver when I first purchased it.  My son at the time could barely reach the fenders and as he slid his hand over the fender he asked, "Daddy can we buy her?"  We managed to scrap the money together, still don't know how, and it was ours.  We drove it everywhere.  To the lake, the grocery store, he wanted this truck and always had the window seat, Mom had to sit in the middle.  Unfortunately, one day driving home from work, the truck was totaled.  I won't go into how, but it broke me, and it sat in my driveway for the next 10 years, as every time I attempted to work on it, I just got mad all over again.  Finally, my wife and kids pushed me past that, and we started the build.  Friends found old cabs in woods. My brother found a full truck to get parts from and we got to work.  It took 4 different trucks to get her back together.  With my sons helping to weld, and my daughter doing hours of sanding, and my wife learning to mix paint amongst more hours of sanding, we finally got her back on the road.  It was a long road but definitely worth it, and the best part is this truck brought everyone together to play a part in the build, whether it was a debate about the color, which my wife's best friend picked out, the wheels, engine, it was all good times.  And as I am sitting here typing this, my daughter has yet again stolen the truck to go to Cars and Coffee, but I wouldn't have it any other way!!
