Had a 1950 3100 for several years and got it back on the road in near stock condition. It was just taking more time and eventual money than I could afford at the time with 3 kids and owning a business along with being a high school teacher. So I sold it 2 years ago.
Two weeks ago, the guy I sold it to was moving to Tennessee and could take the truck, so I bought it back (for a fraction of what I sold it for)from him. He was thankful as he didn't have the time or place to keep it. Funny how things come back like that. Fortunetaly,I am in a better position to work on it now, and my son, who is now driving, has an added interest in it! Especially since all his friends come over and think it is the coolest pickup EVER!

Yes, you are indeed a lucky man (and, a lucky father).

Get to work - and, enjoy every minute of it.

My second car was a '66 Mustang GT I bought from a guy graduating college. I drove it all through college and, like you, when kids came along, needed to sell it. 450 miles and 10 years from the original purchase, the guy I bought it from contacted me out of the blue and bought it back. We laughed that we'll sell the car to each other every 10 or 20 years.

Enjoy your second chance. You never know if you'll get a third! (I haven't...yet!)

Great story, you get your old truck back and it sounds like you've got an eager crew standing by to learn about how to take care of it!

So, now I'm inspired, I'm sitting by the phone waiting for a call from the guy that bought my '59 Apache, sure would like to see it back in the garage again!!!
