As Grandpa said in Fields of Home, Good on your head, good on your head. Indicating patting a boys head in appreciation.
For several years I attempted to work with a fellow on getting his grandfathers 1949 Chevy one ton truck back into his hands.
I had the truck which was my sole transportation. All I asked for was a dependable replacement comparable truck pre 1970 so that I could take care of the mechanical needs on it. All he ever offered was pure junk, mostly rusted out whereas mine had a good engine, cab, and interior.
I finally went to the effort of finding one and called telling him of it and that I was preparing to do major work on my old truck so it was this one or not at all.
Bottom line is that he didn't want his grandfathers truck if it meant spending more than $1,000. I proceeded to shorten the frame, the bed and made other changes as well.
So glad to see that you worked with the fellow and he with you. I really wish my try had gone as well.
