Hello from SoCal!

[CSoliz]

Hello, I found this site some time last week. And I have to say I love it already. My name is Chris, I am 30 and I live in Riverside, CA. I have recently acquired my fathers 66 1/2 ton. I am in the process of slowly fixing it up the way I want it until I can do a full resto. The truck definitely needs some work, it had a 2 inch body lift on it with some old trailer wheels and 32's and lots of rust. It has a 350 in it that my father and I built over 15 years ago. It has been sitting since so it has less then 500 miles on it. I have already lowered it 3 up front and 4 in the rear. Also removed the body lift for a total of 5 and 6 from were it sat before. I have purchased new floor panels, fender tips, ball joints, tie rods and all new rubbers. I just need to install the sheet metal and rubber now (rubber after the Blitz Black paint job and white interior), and tune up the engine a little.

I am sure you will be seeing lots of questions from me since I love to absorb new info. I can through my first one out there now: How would you sugeest filling in all the molding holes along the side of truck? Oh.. and how would I install a 63 grill on my 66?


Here are some pics of my project for now:
