My 64 Build and work in progress...

[PatJ]

Hey guys this is my first official post and I thought I might as well give back a little since I have learned so much from this Board. So here goes.

After coveting 60-66 trucks for several years I finally found what I was looking for. I really wanted a big window short fleetside, with a V8. Thats a tall order for the budget I had but I found one on CL that looked like it might be the one. Made some calls and decided to drive 6 hours to have look.

It wasnt perfect, it has rust, bondo, several colors of paint and lots more but it was pretty cheap and it fit the wishlist. I also wanted a project and plan to learn welding at some point so the rust didnt scare me away. It ran and drove, the brakes were terrible but it made the 7 hour drive back home with no problems.

As it looked when I got it home the first day.
