The truck has been doing great. Making deliveries and looking good. I took my 8 year old son out today for about a 100 mile round trip to pick up the original title to me 1940 GMC 2-ton and a run to the hardware store to pick up some concrete. It was a good time. It is amazing how getting him in something old with no creature comforts brings out a side in him that I wish I saw more often. He was looking out the window. Seeing things. Asking questions. It was almost magical.....
We had to put our dog of 12 years down yesterday and it hit him really hard. I purposely drove the 46 so he would not have much to do and we could talk. I even went 40 miles out of the way to get the concrete to make the tombstone for our dog Franklin so he could have some time to think about what we should write in the concrete as it was sitting up. I was amazed at how he had changed by the end of the day.
Old trucks are a really good therapy in more ways than one!
