Re: my 64 chevy its my dd
Cool story with a lot of history and a nice looking truck. I like the shot of you and your kid. That can be a moment you both treasure decades from now. On the pocket steps - I recently read a thread somewhere about them being rare and desirable, but I've also seen quite a few NOS units on eBay over the last few years going for almost nothing, or failing to obtain any bids.

Re: my 64 chevy its my dd
thanks mark! i had a guy to day at the gas station askin a thousand questions today (made the old lady mad) he wanted to buy the steps and the fuse box out of it(it has a fuse for the spot light) he offerd me 250.00 bucks. i kind had to laugh on the inside. half the joys of this truck is all the old men at the gas station. and there stories about when i was a young man and so on and so on, i just love it

Re: my 64 chevy its my dd
Rebel:
Welcome to the forums from Kansas City, KS. I used to live in Joplin, so it was nice to see a member from Carthage, MO on here. Great story and lifelong memories for your and your son. My son is 2 years and 3 months, so he is not wrenching with me yet, but he goes to the shop with me. Everytime he sees a '60-'66 Chevy truck on my laptop screen, he says "dada's truck". Take care and keep us posted on your progress. |

Re: my 64 chevy its my dd
Thank you, your steps are intriguing, I like to try and find who made the stuff for GM. Example the Compasses were made by Dinsmore, Speed control by Perfect Circle etc. So now E-Z Step eh....mine are cast quite similar. Do you have a step on the passenger side?

Re: my 64 chevy its my dd
There were multiple bumper suppliers and manufactures. I've seen that bumper style before.
