So I'm starting to think of what to do when I start on my 65.



Got the carpet tore up and she's been parked in a completely enclosed costco carport since I first drove her home.

I really need to quit looking at the parts forum.
I have quite a list of things I would like, but don't really need.
I have to prioritize my funds and concentrate on first getting my 65 to be a great daily driver and the body panels restored and protected.
I need to keep reminding myself that chrome knobs and the like is money that doesn't need to be spent when I have more important expenses.

So, first on my list is get the brakes upgraded.
I know exactly what you mean on the parts issues. I'm so far away from needing some things like new seats, knobs, and whatever, but I keep looking and finding all these great deals that are hard to pass up now and concentrate on the "I need this now" parts. I guess if the deal is just too good to pass up I'll snag it, but still try to keep in control. I can tell you're just itching to get started on that truck now that you got it back and it looks from the pictures to be still very solid. Good luck and I'll definitely be following your progress on this one as well as the service truck.
