Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Well not today, a while ago but just now getting around to resizing and posting pictures. Picked up 2 doors Drivers was $50.00 passenger door was $25.00 (badly dented at door handle) and inner fenders were $9.00 each all were from the same self serve wrecking yard but were purcased weeks apart. My 64 looks good from a distance but does some small rust issues this should about take care of everything.

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Started tearing down the '79 Suburban for donor parts for the '64. I listed what's left on the 73-87 parts board, if anyone is interested.

Forgot to add pics of our truck as it is now. As stated it looks good from 20' but it has rust in the lower corners of the doors and the front of the inner fenders where they meet the radiator support. I did buy the truck knowing all of this but out here in the central valley it's relatively easy to still find rust free parts at a reasonable price if you have the time to wait it out.
Now it's time to sit back and enjoy a Frosty Margarita. This karen Carpenter diet is killing me though. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Clyde65,
Yes it's a Gaylord lid. It's one of the reasons I bought the truck. It had the Gaylord lid, Vintage air (ice cold), power stering, big back back window and it is a good looking truck. A.T.RockDriller, Thanks, but I can't take ANY credit for it. I bought it that way. I did add power brakes (Thanks Captainfab for the bracket what a GREAT prodct you sell) and I added a dual master while I was at it. I picked up a disc front suspension from an 85 I plan on installing, it's dissasembled, cleaned, media blasted and painted but I still need to throw another $1000.00 in parts at it before I install it in the truck and no one sees any of it. Drop spindles, 4 new ball joints, rotors, springs, pads, disc master cylinder, brake hoses etc. and I'm looking at close to a grand. I need to get a second job just so I can support my truck. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today?
Got some POR15 Engine Enamel to test out. It was a pain to brush on, but it actually looks pretty good after 12 hours.

![]() I painted the valve covers with the same paint and it looks awful using a brush. The intake was WAY more forgiving. I will paint my water pump and hope to bolt it all back together this week.
