Need to Share My Best Easter Ever

Great story, you will always remember sharing that moment with your dad! A very Happy Easter for both of you to share.
 
Thank You for sharing with us all ...
What a great story ....
You’ll remember that smile on his face forever...:)
 
Good for you both to enjoy that ride. Truck looks & apparently runs fine soo if it were mine
I would leave it just like it is in your picture.
One of the last memories I have of my dad was when I took him out to McDonalds for fries & cheeseburger ,man he had a bid grin from ear to ear. He was just recovering from a stroke. He lived alone & lay on the floor for while until my sister found him.
 
What a neat thing you and your dad got to experience. Good on you, and your truck looks great just the way it is.
 
Great story and I love the truck...you will always have the memories and the pictures to remind you...I'm your dads age range with sons of my own so I can assure you he appreciates your effort and work..

Thank you all so much. I'm really a little overwhelmed.
I don't often post but I've gotten a lot of help from the good folks here just reading and searching. I've even gotten a few hard to find parts from a few members here.

I couldn't have done it without you guys.

Well, maybe you just need to come hang-out a little more often. Tell some stories, or even tell a lie or two! DD

i've been working on a special truck. My great grandfather bought this truck new in 1940. He took my grandmother to the hospital in it when my dad was born.
Today my dad's health is fading fast. I started doing a full restoration but feared i was running out of time to give my dad a ride in it so the mission became "just get it running again.".
Easter weekend i drove it 75 miles to my dad's house and gave him a ride in his grandfather's old truck. He hasn't left the house in a long time but this made his day.

Thank you all for the help and advise/parts i've gotten from the good people here.

awesome story. I love what you did.
 
That is such a nice thing to do, way to go.


I am in the same boat with my '49, although no family history with mine. I just want to get it running/driving so my Dad can enjoy it. He hot rodded flatheads as a young man, would be great for him to drive one again.


Cheers
