MY GRANDFATHERS 23 YEAR RESURRECTION

So my grandpa bought this truck in 1989. I can remember riding in this truck from Kansas City MO to Moberly MO which is 2.5 hours ride in the early 90s. We eventually moved to moberly in 1994. I can remember him letting me drive the old truck in the wood hauling wood up to the house. It was his daily driver back then. Finally in 1997 the motor blew up and he parked it. It sat until 2002 when he gave it to me for my 15 birthday. We started putting a motor in it and gave up. I sold it in 2003 to a local guy. We thought it was gone forever. I got ahold of the local guy and luckily he still had it. It was out in a field, no bed, no rear end, no drive train, and very rusty. I bought it back from him in 2016 and took it to my grandparents without them knowing about it. They couldn’t believe it when I showed up with it. The title was even still in my grandpas name. So we had been rebuilding it for 5 years. I was able to finish it up and give it to him christmas of 2020 with him not knowing it was finally complete. I had never seen him so excited. Christmas day of 2020 was the first time in 23 year that truck had drove down a road and the first time in 23 years he sat in driver seat to take it for a ride to town on the same roads he used to drive it down
