SURPRISED MY DAD WITH HIS OLD TRUCK HE LOST DURING HARD TIMES!

good morning my diesel families so today I am standing in front of my father's business Wilson's tractor supply company looks this is where I grew up learning how to wrench and work on things I never went to school college to work on diesel trucks anything like that at all by learning all of my experience here from my father where go diesel trucks equipment tractors lawnmowers all the way down to just gas we need errs and things I had to stroke equipment this is where it all started today is a extremely special day for me I can't really go into detail yet you just got to wait and see and hang around for the entire video but I can't exaggerate how special and how meaningful today is to me and how much of an impact today is gonna have for the rest of my life and my father we're willing to purchase something today that is meant more than you can imagine to me since the day I started driving you already gave you a hit right there but just words came describe what's about to happen to stay tuned so I was I was talking to you guys at my dad's shop out front about what we're going to pick up today where I want to pick up my dad's old 97 Dodge Ram 2500 I'm gonna be purchasing and driving it it'll be my truck but almost a surprise him with it just to let him know it's back in the family he always intended for the truck to be mine whenever I turned 16 a friend to be my first truck and I was one a diesel truck when I was young when I turned 16 and hard times hit oh eight no nine then he was forced to close his business down at a time and time the truck was owned by the business so of course the truck was sold and you know there went my truck that I thought love with grew up with and had major major attachment to the memories of my father so truck was sold and it's been you know this is back in Oh 809 here we are our 2018 that was nine ten years later and I've known where the truck was for going on well since the day he sold it actually I've known where the trucks and I've been trying my best to be able to purchase this truck and I finally have taught the old man that bought it nine years ago and selling it back to us and this the best part about this is he didn't even want to sell it back the only way he would get rid of this truck is if we traded for another decent truck so I went out found this 2006 Duramax lbz full drive ease of truck it's a no 6 as truck is nice it's way too nice for me to go trade for this old truck but you can't put a price on memories of your father and your family just growing up as a kid so we're gonna go take this nice 2006 GMC Duramax and trade from my dad's old truck back when we are about 10 minutes out all right so we are about to pull up to this place this little fan mr.
