That is a heart warming story that the grandson got the truck back that doesn’t happen very often

[@omgbbqcia911]

Thats the best story on a vehicle ever. Bought a truck for $75 to use for work, retired from work and sold it back to the grandson for $75. Thats awesome

[@79Datson]

Maybe just get rid of the wife instead. The trucks priceless.

[@DeanMk1]

LOL!

[@Notthisguyeither]

I'm sure he had a lot of offers on that old Chevy over the years but he waited for the right buyer

[@brendas.1374]

Cool story! I had a 1956 Ford F100 that I bought in 1981 for $1,350. It was my first set of wheels and I was 15 at the time. I totally regretted selling it in the early 90’s. I miss that truck 😢

What a great story! In 1960, my parents bought a new Chevy pickup, and Dad drove it until my brother needed a vehicle. He drove it until I needed a vehicle in 1970 (what added personality to the truck is when a drunk hit it and push it into our back yard - never did get it repaired). I drove it until my brother again needed a vehicle and he drove it for years until it finally just gave out. To this day I still wish I still had that pickup!

That right there is a news story worth going viral.

[@blue32nu]

That was a good story. I smiled the whole way, thinking of my grandpa and the truck he gave me. Its long gone as i sold it to the junkyard 25+ years ago. I wish I hadn't. To drive it and think of riding with my grandpa in it

[@amazin1827]

I waited 24 years for a 55 Cameo that sat in my Grandpa's back yard..

[@violetking8647]

[@bobsmith-hd2hi]

[@devonriley110]

A man of true character and honor!

[@rexross7086]

Sad story but a Beautiful one. It's too bad he just doesn't leave it the way it is

[@Jroww2004]

Great Story.

[@richardsmith1143]

So Cool,,, what a nice story and a nice man,,,

[@2frenchies777]

Wow so nice!

[@jamosgarage9006]

That's awesome to have driven the truck so long, then sold it back to the original family. Hope the old Chevrolet drives for decades to come.

[@willrector9716]

Best story I ever heard......

[@jeepcj3b436]

This is a great story. Maybe there is hope for humanity after all.

[@d3m0niccity16]

Take it off the road or fix it🙄

[@mattofthenorth]

Perhaps one day it will be passed on to yet another generation. I’d suggest the price stay $75. with the condition no subwoofers with thumping base be added 👍🏼🇺🇸

[@giovany2570]

Love this story only do change motor and well and be rat rot
