Nice video, alfonso. You have a very good looking truck.

From the pictures I see your daughter is just about old enough now to take the truck to market. After all the support your she's given you over the past four years you've just gotta let her drive it once in a while, right?
I wish I were that far along with my '50,3600 but things are going a bit slow this year.
This summer will no doubt be one that will live forever in your memory.
Enjoy!

A total restore is hard and slow enough, but to do it in four years and in a foreign country where parts aren't just down the street or a state or two away is incredible. I am embarrassed that it's been almost four years on mine and I still have a while to go.

I have visited Heredia. You live in one of the most beautiful countries on Earth!!!
However, my friend, Tico drivers are crazy!!!! I thought that Boston, Massachusetts had the craziest drivers until I visited Boca Arenal. Toyotas and Kawaskis all going full speed!!!
You be careful with that beautiful truck, and teach your daughter to be safe.
Many good wishes to you, Pura Vida!!

Thanks again for all your comments. You are right about to rebuilt the truck outside of USA, three times expensive and much more patient. just to add that this days put the sunvisor and I think looks so good. I have some tricks(better "home made solutions") I will like to share with you, for example the radio, the bed, tail gate, etc.
