Agreed. The stigma or stereotype that men don't/shouldn't cry or that it's a weakness is silly - we can have feelings, it's healthier too than bottling it up. That said, awesome job and I can see the care and happiness this giant truck brings to the family so fantastic work.

I wish I knew where my 1978 Chevy El Camino is. That was my first car. Found it completely rebuilt with a 350 L48 (Camaro engine) at a junk yard. All the chrome trim for the car was in boxes in the bed and it was just primed and needed a paint job. Ran like a dream. Paid $800 for it, and $300 for a brand new Metallic Blue paint job, then put all the chrome back on over the weekend. Next week got my license. I wish I'd never sold it. So many memories in that car, I'd probably cry if I saw it again. I wouldn't even care if it was still running. I'd rebuild and restore it again.

70's & 80's was the best years for full size trucks. Weather you were Ford, GM or Dodge you really couldn't go wrong with either of them.

I had one of these. Great truck except for the ignition module. They were potted and would overheat. Great video. Thanks for the memories and thanks for Honoring your Father. It is becoming less common these days. Seems He did a great job raising you. Thanks to your Dad too.

So is your dad driving it everyday, seemed like he didn't want to stop, nice job I am sure he did cry on all those occasions but wanted to keep strong for the family. I have a 2007 F150, with 315,000 miles. I don't use it everyday but when I do I love driving it. I thought I saw a Chevy S10 in the video, I had one of those prior to my F150, stick shift I had 500,000 miles on it ( I drove long distant to work ) . Good job in taking care of your father and remember to follow his lead with your own children.

We have a 75 F250 as well that my dad brought new and had 42 inch super swampers on it as well. All of us kids drove it in high school and my dad upgraded the engine a few times. Body was fully rusted out as my dad spent a lot of time at the beach surf fishing so we did a frame off restoration a about 10 years ago but stopped working on it when he had a stroke.

Some men/dad put on such a strong front and show very little or no cracking because men are men and you don’t show weakness (very old school thinking), but I have a strong feeling many of these strong men find some alone time from loved ones and just sit and have a really good cry.
