Like said many times.. You are a lucky guy.
I hope to be doing that with my son when he is her age. He helps out now but can't do much. He is only 9 but I have a feeling he will do fine. He loves the old trucks also.

Re: My Daughters First Truck
 

Thanks Dino

Shes a great kid and I'm really blessed.

Post some pics of your son with the truck. And thanks for the kind words

I work with a guy who does upholstery work and said if I help him he will hook Darrah up and he said he could fit us in to his schedule in the next week or two. So we got started today fixen the broke springs. Darrah took some pics through her welding helmet and they turned out clear, The new welder works great.:metal:

Re: My Daughters First Truck

Re: My Daughters First Truck

:bann::bann::bann:

Darrah finally decided on her seat pattern. We will be taken the seat next week. She wanted something close to a old look but will go with any color. She decided on this gray pattern.

Re: My Daughters First Truck
 

That should look very nice!

Re: My Daughters First Truck
 

That will look good.

Re: My Daughters First Truck
 

Thanks.
should get the seat by next weekend.

With the weather nice today, I tried my luck at the rockers.
I got the old one off on the drivers side. and test fit the new.

Re: My Daughters First Truck
 

Looks good, keep at it.

Re: My Daughters First Truck
 

Make sure you test fit the door before welding the rocker and i thought you werent supposed to weld on seat springs

Re: My Daughters First Truck
 

never heard about the seat springs before. but they did fine.
Thanks for the tip about the door

Re: My Daughters First Truck
 

Got some progress to report on Darrah's truck.
Got the driver's rocker welded in, and got her new drivers door installed.
Now to get started on the passenger rocker.

Re: My Daughters First Truck
 

Looking clean.

Re: My Daughters First Truck
 

Yeah ..... I test fitted my door. Then I learned you have to actually open and close it to make sure it does not bind (which mine did). It was a real :dohh: moment for me.
Yours look good though!! Feels great to get something like that done eh?

Re: My Daughters First Truck
 

Thanks

Yes it does.Thanks

Re: My Daughters First Truck
 

Nicely done! Looking forward to seeing how the seating comes out.
cheers
