Greetings from socal
I just wanted to say hello from a happy new owner. I have been a member since the beginning of the year but wanted to post in here as I was recently lucky enough to find my dream ride. I found a 64 in Texas a few weeks back and was crazy enough to drive it home to CA. The truck is not 100% finished which is great as I get to add my own touches. What a great experience as I took my 16 year old daughter with me and we hit several sites off good ol' Route 66. Here are a few pics from the road trip.

Re: Greetings from socal
Thanks for the welcome and the kind words. I love the info and the friendly people here. The truck is nearly finished, upholstery and a bed floor would get it really close.
Barney - it was great meeting you as well. Friday was fun. Too bad I missed Saturday, Goodguys Del Mar, but we were out there on Sunday. Here is a few more pics from the trip. |

Re: Greetings from socal
I envy you. And although the truck is a great find, it's not because of that. My daughter and I haven't been close for years. (Long story) Congrats on finding your dream truck, but believe you are truly blessed to be able to share this with your daughter.
