New to the forum from AZ
Was glad to find this forum, looks like a great place!
I'll keep it short, basically I learned to drive a stick on my dad's 1966 Chevy w/3 on the tree back in the early 80s. I always loved that truck. Fast forward many years and I made the decision I had to have something similar. After searching, I ran across one on craigslist that was rough on the outside but solid and ran great. It's a 1964 GMC 1500 longbed stepside w/305v6, 4 speed. Whenever someone would see it they would say "cool truck... does it run?" Well, I got it back from paint a couple of weeks ago so it looks like a real runner now. I have some things to finish up on it to get it complete, but there will always be something to tinker with, which is why I love it. Enough talking, here's the pics: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The color came out great, but was a bit brighter than I was expecting. It looked much more subdued on the paint chip. But I love it, especially in the low light. ![]() Bed wood is done, just not installed. It is painted gray, and the metal strips are body color. ![]() Does this bumper make my ass look fat? ![]() I'm re-thinking the white stripe on the tailgate, but will wait until I get a small plain bumper to decide. Those hideous trailer lights have been replaced already. ![]() ![]() I already have new clear signal lights in. One of my big decisions was what to do with the grille, and I am VERY VERY happy with how it turned out. ![]() Last edited by mweishaa; 07-25-2011 at 11:38 AM. |
