Nice truck!
I like that rig behind your truck in the first pic!
That looks like a Masticulator a vehicle used for chopping limbs off of trees that are too close to the roads.

I'd be careful with that light bar in the bed, they're like a magnet for rust between them and the bed if you're not watchful of it.

x2 on never sell it...worst decision I ever made about my first truck, but I guess you have to in order to grow up and appreciate it.

nice truck ... If it were an extracab ... it would be the "back to the future" truck .

my son has been helping me , in my shop since he was 2 (now 13) .. I had a custom pair of coverals sewn up for him .. so he could be just like dad , we have a great relationship .

I hope you and your dad have fun ! .. it's really worth it .
