We all find our way to smile after losing loved ones. There is just something special about knowing you touched something that THEY were the last ones to touch.... Especially tools and say an old jacket or gloves. Takes you back instantly! I'm not so sure Grampa would be very proud of the rear frame area..... I'd have to have a long talk with my Dad if he seen that, on his truck....

That is the same dream I have for the '93 Caprice I inherited from my grandparents. They bought it with about 5k miles and put another 150k or so on it. Much less after Grandma passed away, but Grandpa was still driving (at least sometimes) after his 100th birthday. My thought was an LS3 with a trans like this truck's, 3.73s or 4.10s, greatly improve the suspension and brakes, and some 18" Schott C7s would fit great on it. Fix all the rust and make a couple small exterior changes that you might not even know were changes. Just need the right Powerball ticket.... Rob's living the dream and doing a great job keeping Willie G's memory alive. That was an awesome video and awesome story.

Now that’s a fine ride. I’ve grown up & it hasn’t taken a mountain of shiny bling to get me off for a long time now. To me, the Grandpa Theme set the stage for the build and honestly, I’d say “Done” & that would be that. Like I said, I grew up. Been there done that when I couldn’t stop chroming this & that then taking off a piece stashing it & putting on something else that I saw somewhere & had to have it & a one of my friends would say “I thought you’d chromed that or powder coated it 😳” & I’d say “I did but…”. That pickup is very tasteful & just right.👍 Put a fork in it & call it done.🇺🇸✊☝️

dude, you seen cartoons or movies where everybody is awaiting a door to open and when it does its just 8 kajillion watts of blinding light that stuns everyone looking. thats got to be how it feels to open the door on this thing. i probably didnt say that to depict the crazyness thatis inside and the patina on the outside. this is one sano ride. you can drive thisand not care about a rock chip but also park next to the most elite show trucks and its just as bitchin' as they are. to me, this is the best build possible. its a piece of family and the engineering and cool stuff is where money went to make it so cool and not spend crazy loot on a paint job. the fab and interior make this in a class of its own. mega job bro!!!!!!

My late grandfather bought a brand new Scottsdale in '85 that he owned for many years doing his wood cutting and splitting business and farm work. I was so young back in those days and didn't know much about vehicles or how to work on them and restore them. Now all these years later I do but that trucks long gone as is my grandfather unfortunately. I would love to the opportunity you did and be able to drive and build something owned by him or my late father as well.
