pics of Mean Green!!
http://seventychevytruck.balls.com/
Take a peek. I really need to get some more things updated. The chrome grill and bumpers will be next on the list. Then to finish the floor on the inside. But most of all I need to get the emblems correct I know I have mismatched ones so for those that can offer help let me know, (think the glove box is the only one wrong) and new doors we couldn't get them to align right with the new metal we put in them. Drove to St. Louis yesterday to ship it to Alaska, Anchorage area. If you all see anything else that is missing on the resto say somin please. My dad had the frame, suspension, box, and cab all painted. My brother and I finished up the rest of the truck. I have almost $6000.00 into it and who know what my dad put into it I am guessing around $4000.00. The entire truck was completed by us to include paint, body work, except for the A/C recharge and hose, bedliner and undercoating, and exhaust. My father would be proud of us I hope. Was the least we could to do to finish his dream truck. Thanks for all the help and messages on this board, it truly made a difference in completing this truck.

Very nice restoration. What's the significance of 7/16/52 to 7/16/01?

The significance of 7/16/52 to 7/16/01. Is the day my dad was born and the day he died.
