Not to take away from Darrah's thread but we couldn't come to parting out that little fleetside we found so we sold it at the Super Chevy Show a couple weeks back and Daddy got him some new wheels and rubber for the Buick. Alan I hope you like as much as I do.

still waiting on the lug nuts but could'nt wait to see them on the 64.

Love the truck your daughter and you are restoring! I have one exactly like it! Minus the color and the spare tire. Cool to see! Can't wait to see what you are gonna do with the motor.

Great thread, hope it's ready for summer!

4dranch · 09-30-2013, 09:31 PM

Finally got the outer rocker in on the passenger side and ready for the body man.

Also a picture for Alan of the Buick at a old Burlap Manufacture Building in Memphis.

TJ's Chevy · 09-30-2013, 09:33 PM

Great truck! Love it! How's the daughter? It's looking better than mine is!

Alan's Classic · 09-30-2013, 09:35 PM

Cool progress and the Buick looks great. I miss it.

T.J.
Your the reason for the post

Darrah's good busy with school. She decided to go with the automatic. We got her a good one. And found a STOCK AUTOMATIC column.

I miss the updates to this build too.... Your father/daughter team was fun to watch!
Good job on that rocker panel, but surprised you didnt fix the ding that is low and aft of the door there while you were at it.

You could probably tap most that out from the inside.....

Thanks,
Updates will be coming. Darrah has been real busy with school, she is taken some hard classes and some dual enrollment classes. I tried my best at fixing that area but that's the best that a rookie can do to a place that was toast from the wreck.

likaroc13 · 09-30-2013, 10:45 PM

Nice to see progress! Buick is looking great as well.

LostMy65 · 09-30-2013, 10:52 PM

I almost forgot about you guys.
Thanks for the update.

Keeping an eye on this, none of my friends, girls especially, were ever interested in getting their hands greasy and dirty on one of these! Around my part of Oregon we farm and keep up land, that's what most of them are used to. Have a friend a little older than me who started then quit a project. :-( Oh well! I'm just glad to be hear!

Thanks TJ my girls don't mind at all getting dirty.

Alan Darrah wanted to say thanks for the brackets.

Alan's Classic · 10-17-2013, 10:10 PM

Y'all are welcome. Thank you. Are they in yet?

zippeay · 10-18-2013, 12:25 AM

You're so lucky I have 5 girls and they would NEVER come out and work on anything.... Especially old trucks... I'm jealous!

TJ's Chevy · 10-18-2013, 10:32 AM

Nice brackets! Are those chrome?
