    Default Time to be thankful for Family.

    Hello All

    New here but I figured you all would like this. This was my late father-in-laws pride and joy.

    Its a 1952 GMC Deuce and a half Personal carrier. He went through and restored the whole truck down to each gauge. He ran it in quite a few parades and took it anywhere someone had a show for old military vehicles.

    It has been in storage for the last year but in 2015 it will be back out on the road.

    I'm very proud of all the work he put into it and how nice it turned out. Just wanted to share.

    He is greatly missed at this time of year!!!!

    Be thankful for everyday you have with your loved ones!





    Grandson enjoying the ride with Granddad!!!!

    Glad to see you made it on here! I knew and worked with your father-in-law. He was a great guy and is greatly missed up here at the airport. I am glad to see it staying in the family and carrying on the tradition!
    He had lots of cool toys!

    Thank you!

    100% not going anywhere. All his toys are being taken care of until his Grandson can take them over like he wanted.

    Thanks for the kind words.
