Kyle - Welcome!  

You've come to the right place, for sure.  And, as said on FB, your story warms my heart.

Y'all, when he said his "papa's" truck I think he means his grandfather's.  And, as I told him on FB, being a grandfather myself that really warms my heart.  I'd really appreciate my grandson doing that for me.

Welcome! I have three grandkids that call me ‘papa’ and I can only hope that maybe one of them might have an interest in my trucks when I am gone. It is a great tribute to carry on with a vehicle that has been handed down.

Kyle - I forgot to mention that we have a member's map (Bullnose Forum/Member's Map) which shows the approximate location of many of our members.  I can easily add you if you'd like.

Also, set your calendar for Sept 14th, 2019.  That's probably the date for the 2019 Garagemahal Truck Show here in Skiatook, OK.  You, in NW MO, aren't all that far away, but several others on here travel far farther to get here for it than that.
