My Daughters First Truck

Ok Here we go,
Darrah still has the fever and saved up and we got her a 1966 stepside with a 235 inline six with 3 on the tree. She has been looking for one with the spare on the side, And we found one. we showed you guys some pictures of the good
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=483819 now here are some of the bad. She wants a daily driver not a trailer queen. Thanks and Wish us luck.

Oh and for you that do not know, Darrah is my 14 year old, and we do everything together.

I love the Three on a Tree Had one in my 65 Chevy II 4 door and it was fun to drive Don't have to worry too much about someone stealing it as the "now" generation wouldn't know how to use one.

Re: My Daughters First Truck

Watched your video, that is one cool kid there. Very special thing you have with her, brings back memories for me also. The truck is a gem, needs a little lovin, and your daughter will be the coolest kid in school someday.
