Nice work!
Your son will appreciate it even more when he takes it off your hand in a few years 
Night and day difference!
Great father son teamwork, you should both be proud. A great learning and bonding experience. KUDOS
Incredible ! How long had the truck sat for ?
Wow great restoration!
Fantastic! Those father-son memories are priceless.
If I recall, you were close to throwing in the towel at one point 
. Congrats on sticking with it and what an AMAZING transformation!

Sat for two years in the woods with a leaky sunroof on my friends property due to a botched HG job.. Turns out the HG was replaced just fine but they got one of the cams installed 180 degrees off.. After we figured that out she fired right up.. Next was relacing the entire interior due to mold.. Been driving it all week and it seems to run just fine and no longer has that fresh from the farm mold smell inside ;>)

Yup there were some times we felt like throwing in the towel.. Hopefully this taught my son some persistence.. Heck looking back on it he taught me persistence and patience as he would not let me give up on it.If I recall, you were close to throwing in the towel at one point
HOLY COW!
That looks GREAT!
You guys have put some SERIOUS elbow grease into that one!
Some soap and water, a bit of rubbing compound, and some wax do WONDERS!
You have done a GREAT job so far! Keep up the teamwork!
