Nice looking truck. Good luck with your project!

Re: kinda new to the sene
 

Welcome from NC and great looking project. Sounds like you have a good idea already on what you want to do with it. Looks pretty solid for a MI truck.

Re: kinda new to the sene
 

Welcome to the Forum. I too am partial to the short steppers.

Re: kinda new to the sene
 

Welcome to the forum! That's a great looking truck, I've got a longstepper myself. You can't beat a stepper for the look in '60's trucks IMHO.

I will pop in a bit of advice though, taking a loan out to work on your truck is never a good idea. Better to do small things if you don't have much cash and save up for the big things and not owe anybody anything. Get a swear jar or a DB jar depending on your vice. It'll fill up pretty quick.:metal:

It's not a sprint, it's a marathon!

Welcome fellow Michigander! Im a downstater near OH. Lots to learn on these. Ive had a truck 25 years and am still learning. I agree with FetchMeAPepsi, work on small stuff. And save for the big stuff! Look through all the old posts. Familiarize yourself on how to do the search.

Haha! Yeah the kids can be hard on anything, but you just luv em anyway. With a new kid you might be needing to adjust your timetable a bit. You don't get much sleep for the first four months. Six in some cases.

No need to rush it. Take two years if you need to. Or five. You have a lot of new experiences heading your way with a baby and you sure don't want to miss a single one. Congrats! :metal:
