Looks like great fun.

BTW, I don't know if you noticed, but it looks like someone stole your spare.

It doesn't get any better than that! I cannot wait for that day to come for me. We just found out, right before Christmas, that my Daughter and her Husband are expecting their first in June. We are very excited for our very first Grandbaby. Gonna' be a boy. Even better, they are moving from Washington State to DC, so they will only be 9 hrs away.

Looks like there might be at least one grandkid that wants to drive.

Yeah, I. am running 16" wheels and the spare doesn't fit in the fenderwell too good. It just gets tossed in the tray if I am going any distance.
I have owned the pick up since 1967 and used it as a daily driver when I was an apprentice. We would go hunting in it and wrap a rope around the back wheels in and out the spokes and around the tires to act like a set of chains to get up the steeper hills. I rebuilt it a few years back including making my own pick up bed.
I am surprised that no-one has mentioned that the steering wheel is on the wrong side.

My 3-year-old son's love for sitting in grandpa's Model A is what had inspired me to get it running again.
