Re: Teenager rant (long winded, sorry)

The way i see it, is that you've already replaced most of the big ticket items....they should be good for another 40 years now. I got my 69 C-10 when I was 14 years old...drove it thru high school year round (in Wisconsin!) until I could afford a daily beater in college. Took my wife to prom in that truck.....and brought home my baby girl from the hospital in it also. It's been 18 years, and I am still in love with it.

You've got a unique ride....I am CERTAIN that there is not another one like it in your high school parking lot. Fix things as they break, and learn from them. Parts for your truck are cheap, in the scheme of things. Good luck.

Here's my senior photo with my truck....


and 14 years later, my daughter's first ride in dad's hot rod. ( She beat her first mustang in a street race at 2 weeks old....haha.)
