Re: Project "Black Betty" (bam-A-lam)

Unfortunately the '64 never made it back to driver status, thus it never became my first truck. Sadly, it was also sold around the same time as "Old Blue." Thus, my first truck became my '93 C-1500 short/step. I owned it for a little over 9 years, adding 100k(+) miles throughout. It started out as a factory custom conversion, but it ended up as a full-blown custom. I spent lots of money on it over the years trying to achieve happiness. It was hands-down the best vehicle I've ever owned, & I had so much fun with it. Unfortunately, I made the decision to sell it during October 2007. We had just finished college and moved to Pensacola, FL. I needed a daily driver, & I just couldn't bring myself to keep putting miles onto a truck that I took so much pride in. Since I couldn't afford to have two vehicles, I regretfully decided to let it go. I figured that this would be the first step towards being able to find my first classic truck. I'm attaching a couple pics as it looked when I sold it, but here's the link to many others:
