Re: New pics of Old Blue
Thanks for the comments. This was my Pawpaw's truck. He bought it brand spanking new and took really good care of it, as it is all original.

Re: New pics of Old Blue
Thanks so much guys. Pawpaw bought her brand new back in '68 and I was only 3 years old. He always took care of Old Blue, (that's what he called her). He passed away in 1984. The truck became my Granny's with the intention that it would be mine one day, she always called it my truck, especially when people would stop by and ask if the truck was for sale. I am only the caretaker of this truck, and still feel that it is Granny and Pawpaw's truck. My Granny passed away last August at the age of 92 and the truck became mine, but still, I am just a caretaker and protector. When I drive Old Blue, it is like being in a time machine that takes me back to so many great memories of being with my Grandparents. They instilled in me the need to take care of things, and as long as I live, Old Blue will be taken care of, and will be the vehicle of many more memories. Thank you.

That's a touching sentiment. I only wish I had memories and a story like that. Very special indeed....And what a great ol' truck to boot!
