Re: One Ton Suburban
That is so cool to read this in your Dad's own words. Do you still have the tie clip? I've said it before that this truck has to be the best family and vehicle history ever and still think so.
Hope all is well. DAC |

"Dad asked me to send you his prized Golden Hammer. It shows signs of wear because he used to wear it as a tie clip to work. No doubt he told the story to many co-workers. I hope you enjoy it as much as he did." Dad worked as a systems engineer for the military division of Boeing in Wichita for 41 years before he retired in 1989. |

If I would have been awarded that little prize, I may have taken up wearing a tie! Good for you to get another piece of the history! DAC |

By the way, Dad passed away October 24th at age 95. He would have been 96 on Pearl Harbor Day. You can see his photo with Mom near the top of page 2 of this thread. |

Re: One Ton Suburban
Sorry to hear about your dad Ed...
I enjoyed the visit I had with him several years ago. I remember him commenting about the familiar shifting/clicking sounds of the transmission when I took you guys for a ride in my ‘62. |
