Wish I could have had a project when I wsa coming through school and still at home. I tried and tired but it never panned out. Great skills and detail, all it takes is time and $. I was glad to see that you will shop around to get a deal on parts and wait months to buy them, I do the same thing, just at a slower rate.

I picked up a new job at a nursery (plants not babies) and have been working my tail off to save up enough money for some big ticket parts we are starting to need. However, I have gotten a few things done that I haven't posted up. I recently had a birthday and got an awesome new welding helmet (I'm really wanting to start learning how to weld), and a front driveshaft from bluementhals. Also, a few days ago my dad picked up two battery boxes from "ruff stuff" and a couple red top optima batteries. We added a few little touches of our own to the boxes and they mounted right up. I'll try to get some pics up later tonight when I can get on a computer. __________________ 1966 GMC Extended cab 1 1/4 ton 4x4 My build thread 1958 Chevy 1 ton dually flatbed My Dad's build thread 1966 GMC Custom Trim Big Back Window W/351e My Time-Killing Project Truck 1966 (Not So) All Original Chevy Custom Trim Suburban My Dad's Time-Killing Project Truck

Starting to need big ticket parts?

468, D60, 14 Bolt rear disk, TH400....

Are those small tickets? How can I get a job at the nursery?

My dad's buddy has been pretty busy lately so my cab is on the back burner for him. But we have plenty of other things to keep us busy. __________________ 1966 GMC Extended cab 1 1/4 ton 4x4 My build thread 1958 Chevy 1 ton dually flatbed My Dad's build thread 1966 GMC Custom Trim Big Back Window W/351e My Time-Killing Project Truck 1966 (Not So) All Original Chevy Custom Trim Suburban My Dad's Time-Killing Project Truck

oklahomaduner Registered User Join Date: Dec 2008 Location: Oklahoma City Posts: 447	Re: Project '66 Dirtrod: K-30 Extended Cab I was just gonna gorrilla tape a seat and an ice chest to the frame and drive out there... The trailer is a good idea though. But hopefully I can talk my dad into letting me. __________________ 1966 GMC Extended cab 1 1/4 ton 4x4 My build thread 1958 Chevy 1 ton dually flatbed My Dad's build thread 1966 GMC Custom Trim Big Back Window W/351e My Time-Killing Project Truck 1966 (Not So) All Original Chevy Custom Trim Suburban My Dad's Time-Killing Project Truck Last edited by oklahomaduner; 05-05-2010 at 12:21 AM.

It's one of those things that just makes sense when you see it in person. The lines, upside down, seem to flow better. But we'll have to get the bed together and ponder it more.
