It's great to see a young teen guy interested in old trucks! That's cool. If we don't get the next generation interested in our hobby/passion it will die. I applaud him, and you for encouraging him. And that truck is so cool, unique, quirker/weird, unusual. And really a great specimen. He's right: there won't be another one on the school parking lot! But, this one won't be there very often. It's just not practical. It may seem like we're ganging up on you but that's not it. If you want it for a father-son project then buy it, buy some books, buy some tools, do your "homework" and you both can learn something new (about something old) together. (It's more about time with your son than about the truck, right.) Good luck.
