I just recently got the 50 1 ton I bought running and I sent the video of me driving it up the driveway to the woman I purchased the truck from:

It was a great experience buying it from her because she could tell from my enthusiasm that I was excited about getting it back on the road. I've been in touch with her since I bought it and send her updates every once in a while. Well, this response from her seeing it driving is precious, I thought I'd share it here:
DEAR DAVE;
WHAT A WONDERFUL GUY YOU ARE.....ER...SHOULD I SAY, "BOY?"
MY SON, BOW, AND MY DAUGHTER ALICIA, AND I... COULD NOT BE HAPPIER FOR YOU TO HAVE MY HUSBAND DAVID'S, TRUCK. YOU ARE LIKE A LITTLE KID WITH HIS FIRST TOY FIRE ENGINE ....I LOVE IT !
SEEING THE TRUCK MOVING WAS SO NICE, BUT WHEN I HEARD YOU BURST OUT IN DELIGHTED LAUGHTER, I CRIED WITH THE JOY OF YOUR PLEASURE.
THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR WORK ON THE TRUCK....BUT ESPECIALLY FOR SHARING YOUR DELIGHT IN THE TRUCK WITH US.
YOU ARE A WONDERFUL MAN TO TAKE THE TIME TO ALLOW US TO PARTICIPATE IN THE FUN YOU ARE HAVING. YOU AND MY HUSBAND WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT FRIENDS....YOU ARE SO MUCH ALIKE.
YOU BLESS ME WITH YOUR ENTHUSIASM AND HAPPINESS...AND BOW SENDS HIS GREETINGS AND HOW HAPPY HE IS ALSO....
FRANCES
