Had an older retired man who loved to fish, but did not like to eat it either down the street from me when we lived in Panama City Beach, he always brought his catch to us and the neighbor across the street! We seemed to always have something good from him.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

I get it from my great grandfather. He was the same way. Wouldn't eat fish, but you couldn't keep the man off a boat or out of the water.

Like your neighbor, most of mine goes to friends and family. Seems plenty of people don't like to fish, but love to eat it, so its a win win for me.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

thats funny. I grew up fishing (fresh water and ocean) and eating them. Dad smoked all kind. uncle sam called at age 19, haven't ate much fish sense at age 66.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

Haven't had much time to do much of anything. Will be offshore this weekend with our big trip. Spent last weekend tearing off the top of the bike to get the carbs off the bike. Need to reinstall them tonight. Have a 4 day weekend coming up, so hoping to get back on it Monday/Tuesday.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

Still Tuned In! Hope you get some free time soon.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

What is the status of this truck? Have been waiting a long time on updates...

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

Sorry on the delay guys. Have been working feverously on the barn and its near completion now. Just have two bay doors left to install. So will be back on track with the project in the next few weeks. Will get some picks and updates up soon.

Thanks for keeping my project in mind and looking forward to getting it done and driving soon.

Congratulations on the baby boy coming.
Love your truck, coming along nicely, I haven't worked on mine in 2 years, I just use it to get materials for my house i am remodeling, looking to move south for retirement, then I will have plenty of time to play in the garage.
Enjoy

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

Congrats on the new one. It will make the truck that much more special to be able to share it with the boy.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

Thanks!!!

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

Thanks Clem. I do a lot of custom orders also.

Looking forward to projects with the little one.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

Thanks a bunch. Liz and I are patiently awaiting the little one. June 25 is are expected date.

Still pushing forward on the shop and made time to rinse all the pollen of the stepside.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

Just an update since its been a few months. Our little man was born July 1, 2016. Mom and baby and doing great and looking forward to working on the short fleet with my son when he gets older.

Will resume work on the stepside here in a couple of weeks. Just getting the house and jobs adjusted to the little man being here.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

N a few days he will be building his own prom truck, then grand children.

Happens fast all this.


Good looking little man.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

Congrats! Teach him while he is young and he will be a next gen gear head. :chevy:

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

That isn't a truck but he is awfully cute. Congrats man. Looking forward to seeing future progress.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

Congrats John, nothing quite like having little ones around.:ben:

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

Thanks guys for the kind words. Looking forward to getting back on track with my project and working on his truck in the future also.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

Congrats on the boy, he's going to love your trucks.
The truck will be there when you have time, mine sat until my kids went to college and I got bored, hopefully you don't have to wait 20 years but the kids come first, Enjoy your newest addition to the family.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

Congrats on the new addition to the family :thumbs:

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

Congrats on the little man!. One of my favorite truck pictures is of my oldest his when he was about 18 months old, he was out in the garage helping me on my '65.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

Thanks guys. Feel truly blessed to have him around.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

What a cliff hanger! PLZ Lets hear that thing runnin, and see it finished.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

I am still working on the project. Things have slowed way down the last three years with two kids and two jobs. Moving the stepside up the hill into the barn in the next few weeks and with any luck should have it running under its own power by spring.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

Kids are more important than anything. Before you know it you will be a Grandfather. The truck(s) will be there, the kids childhood will not. I remember those days. I was working at least two jobs to keep food on the table for the family. It is hard but worth every minute of it. My kids drive up here from Greensboro every weekend with my grand babies and choose to spend their time with the wife and I. We have one daughter in New Zealand, her and the grandson come over and spend a month a year. You ever need a retired grumpy old man to give you a hand, just send me a PM. I used to live in Fayettenam on Gruber Road. I believe the new name is Fayetteraq.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
 

I have been in Fayetteville since 1988 and it has changed names a few times now. Still a lot of good people here and still some rough areas like most cities.

Progress will resume shortly. Leveling the floor now for the move up the hill.
