Judging by the state of his shirt, I'd say he just got off of work at Ford's Long Beach assembly plant.
He'd come from the Family farm in Wisconsin a couple of years before and got a good paying job as a welder for Ford, before he went on to commercial fishing, welding in the shipyards, and maintaining the BIG vehicles that were building the highways out thru the desert.
Your Grandfather looks good...and tough - a little James Dean in his posture - not one to be trifled with. These men are still around, you just have to go rural to find them. Generally, hardass and tough as rock doesn't mix well with Big City.

Fucking Freemans.

Yeah, Grandpa never had any tattoos.

The world lacks for tough, smart men like these.

Holy crap, Red, it IS you! Uncanny.
Of the same jib I suspect.
