    Chris, Your Dad would surely approve of anything you'd do to his truck...I'll miss him too, Doug

    Your Dad would be proud of you doing what the two of you enjoyed doing together, working on that truck. I see your dedication to this truck and what it means to you and as long as that stays true it doesnt matter what changes you make. Its still the truck you and Dad built.

    As a dad I would want my kids to enjoy the cars and not have the cars be a burden to them. If they want to make some changes good for them. I just want them to enjoy the ride like I have.

    When my dad died 21 years ago, my mom sold his 12 Arabian horses. He loved them and got lots of enjoyment out of them, but mom and all 7 of us kids were not horse people.

    My only son will get my Nomad. He can do with it whatever he wants...keep it as it is, modify it, sell it. I won't care as I won't be around. I'm getting my enjoyment out of it now.

    The car is not the important part. The important part is that you and your father enjoyed a hobby together and made some memories. Those are what count, regardless of what you decide to modify on the excellent pickup you inherited.

    I wish you only the very best, and enjoy what you have without worrying about what your dad would think...I think he would say, "It's yours now; do what you want."

    Your dad had his fun with it while here- now its your turn. When you die, your son will have the same dilemma so let him know its okay to make it what he wants out of it. Otherwise your son will sell it to someone who WILL do what they want with it.
