Re: My son and I are building his first truck
That looks like a very solid truck to start with! I will definitely be following along!

Re: My son and I are building his first truck
Looks like fun, I live in Newaygo County. I got my truck when I was 13 and my dad and I completely redid the entire truck, I'm 20 now and drive it almost daily in the summer!

Re: My son and I are building his first truck
Hey, I am doing the exact same thing with my son. He just turned 14 and he wanted a truck like grandpa had on the farm. So we found a 69 GMC LWB that we are just starting to tear down. I taught him to drive it last weekend, it is a 3 on the tree, he is amazed by it. Same as you, 1.5 years to get it all done! Ours is quite rougher, but that will only add to the enjoyment when done!!

Excellent project. My son turns 14 in March. Plan is to start on my old 72 after his birthday for his first vehicle.

Re: My son and I are building his first truck
My son and I are building a 70 for when he turns 16 in September. The time goes by fast.
Nice looking project. I'll be watching.

Re: My son and I are building his first truck
I love the OP truck. A friend of mine, that moved down from Wisconsin, has a Chevrolet twin to that truck. He put a five speed from a Camaro in it.
