Glad to see you made it back home ok.that was fun getting to see all that hard work come together.you have some good helpers on your side.

Morning Scott. Very nice build you and the boys have going. My son and I built a tube framed drag car (62 Chevy II) that started back when he was about 6 years old. He's now at OIT in KFalls (Junior), wow how time flies by. Good to start them early. Great times and memories. I have one of his projects sitting in the garage now waiting for him. I am working on my 71 C10. I am interested in where you got the motor mounts? If you ever need a hand let me know. I can pm you my cell. I am just north a few miles (just south of OC). Enjoy the times!

[scotts72heavyhalf]

Send me a PM with your cell, I have think I have the paperwork on the motor mounts here somewhere

Some more great progress the last few days, my boys are doing alot of the work, just a few instructions and they did the cab sound deading with out me, why I was doing some of the small things, wipers, heater,ect. Here is a few pics of our progress so far.

[scotts72heavyhalf]

Thanks, they finished it last night and then my oldest did the inside of the doors tonight and is stripping the old cab down. I am very proud of them, when they get along its even better

amazing truck scott!
thats the color we almost went with.

[cardreams]

man that is one sweet truck love the color what color is that
(sorry if you all ready said that )

[Coboyle04]

i think its called medium green or olive

[scotts72heavyhalf]

Light olive metallic/white, its the stock color with clear coats. it will have the saddle interior, I am just trying to decide on the 69 or 72 door panel style. Any thoughts guys?

[Coboyle04]

i like the steel panels, they screw in instead of snap in, and you can still get the cool vinyl covers for em.

[blkcorvair]

Wow its really looking great. I like the soundproofing! Especially the cheap labor. My sons idea of helping me is a plastic hammer and a plastic saw. Unfortunatally I cant let him get too close now with all the paint done.

[scotts72heavyhalf]

My oldest, hit my 65 mustang convertible with a not so plastic hammer when he was 3 or 4, I had done a similar resto on that. After that I decided to sell it and pave the driveway. I was too nervous having it around. Now he is a great helper and has the passion for perfection. A bit like me he`s a little OCD sometimes. I`m sure when yours are older they will be great help too.

Yes Im sure mine will be a great helper one day. He wants to learn it all already. I just hope theres enough future projects to pass on the knowledge.

Hey Scott Just found your build. Wow that's crappy..I mean ..You and the boys are making the rest of us look bad.... I have to go out and polish the turd I have to get it to look 1/2 that nice. Looks better than new..I know GM never put any serious time in to these trucks, slapped together and out the door....... I would recommend undercoat.. I used Tinted UPOL urethane. it comes out darker than the paint but is good protection under rockers and wheel wells. Way to go boys....and Dad.....Can't wait to see the new 3 car garage for these great looking trucks.....Ed.

I just came across this thread as well. LOVE the work you and your boys are doing! I picked up a 70 C10 that was the same original color, and you've already helped me decide to stick with it when I get to the paint stage. I won't be doing the level of restore that you are (yet) because I don't have the shop space (again, YET!) but hopefully one day I'll have it looking half that nice!!! I'll definitely be following your progress, and if you have good pieces that you don't reuse let me know. I might need some things for my 70... Keep up the great work!

[scotts72heavyhalf]

Tomahawk30, just let me know what you might be needing, I`m gearing up for the next swap meet, I have three doors, three fenders, a spare cab, complete heater boxes, all the pedals for an automatic, extra glass, cowl, hood and the list goes on, belts in saddle, door panels & visiors for a 72, control arms... I am trying to list them here for sale, but some are too much to ship. Its turning out great and with the help of my boys going smoother and faster than I expected. Thanks for the comments
