Friday brought the return of the Smith boys, and the kids and Tracy finally got to see the "new" truck in person. Jilly and Thayer discussed who was going to get to drive it first...
...and the answer is, "Daddy!" Problem was, he couldn't get the doors open without hitting them on the trailer. Well, there's more than one way to get into a Studebaker. John decided to shimmy on in Bo Duke style... (HaHa...no worries...Tracy got LOTS more pictures of this maneuver and is currently taking any and all offers for copies for bribery purposes!)
Finally in the driver's seat (okay, to give him credit, he was pretty darn quick!), John backs the truck off the trailer and onto Arizona soil (um, pavement).
Proud Papa and his newly adopted "child."
A small flashback? G.D. takes a few moments to go over some basic 1955 Studebaker Truck Driver's Ed. with his son. (The last time John tried to drive a truck with "3 on the tree" transmission, he ended up driving into his parents' house...)
