Re: First Old Truck--64 Beater

Also my dad was so shocked on how easy it was to work on these old trucks that he went out and bought his own at an auction. His truck and my truck are exact opposites it seems like. Mine has a really nice body but only a decent interior, and a decent sounding motor. His truck has a really crappy body but the interior is amazing compared to mine and the motor sounds like new!







I don't know what his plan is yet but he says he doesn't mind how beat up it is he just wants to drive it around haha.

That is EXACTLY what happened to me on my build!!
It went from getting a motor and tranny and getting on the road, to an almost 100% frame off resto-mod !!
My wife already wants me to save and restore these trucks as a hobby-job when I retire because it has been so easy and fun !!

Good luck with this again and keep us posted !!
