When one Fernie mother watched her son climb into his newly overhauled truck, she was brought to tears.

It香蕉视频直播檚 not every day that a 17-year-old gets a completely renovated vehicle, but for Dalton Hutchinson, the renovation was not just an everyday reward.

Dalton was diagnosed with osteogenic sarcoma in 2011. He received extensive rounds of cancer treatments and is an amputee as a result. He is now in remission after his surgeries at the Children香蕉视频直播檚 Hospital in Calgary.

The 1998 Chevy step-side Dalton bought from his uncle received massive upgrades. When it was unveiled at Cap-It Kelowna Saturday, Dalton didn香蕉视频直播檛 know what to say.

He couldn香蕉视频直播檛 describe it in one word, or multiple words.

The truck received a six-inch suspension lift, new mud tires and off-road wheels, the exterior was changed from a glossy to matte black and a new audio system was installed.

The headlights and taillights were also upgraded and the interior was cleaned and renovated. Rust was also removed from the body.

The retail cost would be $25,000, said Tucker.

She didn香蕉视频直播檛 recognize the truck. 香蕉视频直播淚t looks brand new.香蕉视频直播 she said.

Dalton currently has his learners license, and will be able to drive alone next year. He took a long time deciding on his wish, being outdoorsy, he also thought of a hunting trip or fishing trip.

Dalton and his family came out to see the results of the three-week renovation Saturday at Cap-It Kelowna.
