Great story!
I have the same feeling every time I take my 57 out.
The truck was my fathers and he had it since it was new. While growing up the unwritten rule was don't mess with dads truck. Don't wreck it or take it without permission. Funny, I still have that feeling 35 years later and after he passed away.
After the frame of resto on it...I very gingerly drove the truck out of the garage for the very first time and went about 200 feet and then back to the garage, visualizing that the wheels would fall off or I had over looked something. It still is very new to take the truck out and my wife can tell I stress when on the road. I hope to get over that! I look toward the future and wonder what kids years from now will have to restore. I doubt they will want to restore a 2010 Chevy truck. With all the fancy gadgets and computer junk on them.
Good luck with your truck and keep it forever!
