That looks really nice! How is she liking school/college?

likaroc13 · 07-06-2017, 10:07 PM

Good to hear from ya! It's been a while. She made a great choice on the wheels, IMO. Sounds like she's a very bright young lady as well.

Been busy, glad to be back. she's quite the kid. Thanks

rustbucket66 · 07-07-2017, 10:36 AM

You raised her right. You should be proud. That truck looks so good with the hubcaps and trim rings.

**LostMy65** · 10-07-2017, 08:57 PM

2 years a 3 months. I almost forgot about this cool thread.
Looks absolutely beautiful!

Ta2Don · 10-08-2017, 04:53 PM

Looks great, digging' the caps n rings...

4dranch · 11-12-2017, 10:40 PM

This is Darrah. Just sharing some pictures I have that dad doesn't.
One is from my senior prom, one from a veteran's car show, one is of the blanket I got a while back in Mexico for my truck, and one of mine and my dad's truck at the drag strip.

**Captainfab** · 11-13-2017, 12:36 AM

Thanks for sharing your pics with us Darrah

How did you do on the drag strip?

Grizz1963 · 11-13-2017, 03:40 AM

Great to see the photos Darrah, thank you for sharing.

Please do remember that there are many of us that are addicted to, or at least like random updates and photos, so do continue to post up pics and updates.

4dranch · 11-15-2017, 12:26 AM

We didn't drag, just drove up there to watch others drag

Thanks for sharing. The one from prom will no doubt be a special memory, & the blanket from Mexico looks like a perfect match! Hope you're enjoying the ole truck.

**Palf70Step** · 11-13-2017, 06:19 AM

Thank you Darrah. As Rian has stated, we are addicted to seeing updates.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-16-2017, 05:28 PM

Darrah, thanks for sharing the pictures and keep enjoying your truck! The blanket is a nice touch too. I hope I can build something together with my daughters like you and your father have done here. It is awesome to see a young lady into old trucks and enjoying them too!

61K10 · 11-17-2017, 02:55 PM

Beautiful job on the tk!! Love the color also.

X24 · 02-09-2018, 02:20 AM

love this thread... you two are a killer team, thanks for sharing.

TimE · 02-09-2018, 02:20 PM

Wow!! I have been gone a while. Darrah grew up and y'all built a truck. Great job guys!! Both of you should be extremely proud. You've made memories that will last a lifetime...

northern 85 · 02-10-2018, 08:20 AM

Great thread, the hub caps really made everything come together beautifully!!!!

jason65 · 03-26-2018, 05:15 PM

Good looking 66.

4dranch · 08-10-2021, 02:11 PM

How's everyone doing? I know it's been a while. here's a little update. Darrah has graduated from college. She is working in the orthotics and prosthetics field and loving it. She has moved out on her own. (still close enough if she needs Dad). She decided to move on up from the 6 cylinder. So we bought a 327 and had it rebuilt. other than that life is moving on. God has blessed us beyond what we deserve. Below are some install pictures and one of my 29 sedan.

Good to hear from you, & congrats to Darrah! Truck is still looking good, & that's a nice upgrade for her.

Digging your 29 as well!

Grizz1963 · 08-11-2021, 10:57 AM

Great update.

Congratulations and admiration for all aspects of your life.

Life is good.

**Palf70Step** · 08-10-2021, 03:33 PM

Glad to see she still like her ole truck.

**cwcarpenter98** · 08-11-2021, 12:47 AM

I just read through the entire thread. Great job on the truck to both of y'all!
I've been working on my 63 since I was 17 back in 2015 with my dad. It's been a great learning experience about cars and life in general. Definitely something I will always cherish and one of the main reasons I'll never be able to sell my truck.

Congrats, Darrah, on graduating! I know that's a good feeling after several years of hard work

**Dieselwrencher** · 08-12-2021, 07:18 AM

A big congrats to Darrah and sweet upgrade on the 327. Your 29 looks sweet! Do you have a thread in the alternate tinkerings area on here of it?
