Howdy,
My name is Ron , Just a little bit about me. Raised in Green Bay I grew up watching my father drive truck ,after returning from Vietnam it was one of the only jobs he could find and after nearly 40 years behind the wheel he hung it up in 09 he past away in 10 from a heart attack. I loved the trucks and the life style I road with him every summer for about a month seeing the United States from a winsheild was all a boy like me could ask for. As time moved on I got more involved with my dads owner operator duties. I wanted to drive but in the end he forbid it , told me it was no life and he didn't want his grand kids to have the missing father that my sister and I did.So off to tech school I went. Diesel tech was in my future graduated and went to work for a small trucking company working on my dads stuff and saving him alot of dough. Life moved forward and I got a desk job and when my dad passed away I turned to building model trucks, I've been building the trucks he has owned over the years and some that I've seen. I'm not the best and I'm not the most accurate but I like the and I hope you do as well. I will be loading some of my photos in the next couple days. I've recognized a few of you from a different site but I hope to get to know a few of you here.
