I almost forget… it's been 18 days since dragging this one home...

…so far only one tire has failed to hold air, the one in the pic from the post on Dec 11th is still holding air...

TJ's Chevy · 12-24-2015, 12:12 PM

Merry Christmas to you to brotha!

Grizz1963 · 12-25-2015, 05:38 AM

Don I would run them tires they look fine. How did you like the weather yesterday. I worked on my truck then the family and I went to the creek and did some fishing. I really like the 60 cant wait to see what you do to it next. Are you going to leave the patina paint?

Sorry for such a long delay Daniel... Three of the tires are STILL holding air...

Not really sure what direction this one will take, but the patina is topping the list of paint options...

Small update...
Over the course of the recent months, many changes in my life have taken place, which is the dominating reason why I haven't been posting much, but here is a small portion of what's happened...

A friend that I got this truck from found the missing cowl extension. It's the one on the left in the pic...

Untitled by Donald Olivo, on Flickr

He had originally planned to scrap the truck, so the hood was destroyed and the cowl extension became a metal donor for the '63 he's building.
Another friend, who's building a '64 rat truck, dropped by to pick up a fender acquired from Donnie, aka "DWCardfan." During our conversation about this truck he spotted the bent frame waiting to be carted off to the metal yard. So after a deal was struck, he will be by soon to cut a section of frame he needs and I have the complete cowl extension pictured with the butchered one...

I truly enjoy the barter system...

That's all for tonight...

**65truckowner** · 04-15-2016, 07:04 AM

Glad to hear from you Don. Always look forward to seeing your progress on your trucks

**clemdaddy** · 04-15-2016, 07:34 AM

barter away buddy… looks like you did real good on that one.

Grizz1963 · 04-15-2016, 11:48 AM

...... And thats what its all about. Both parties happy.

Hope to catch you over the weekend Don.

Or even tonight late.

Got about 2 hours invested in this one... still have a bit of background to add at a later date...

Thanx again John!!!

Yesterday morning, on the way to work, I met Tanner and his '66...

He's probably 16-18 and is rightfully proud of his truck...

Invited him to this great site, so hopefully he'll turn up soon.

Laterz all...

Grizz1963 · 04-18-2016, 02:28 PM

The colour is possibly my all time favourite.

Having those overriders on the front bumper..... Perfect.

Hope he comes onboard.

Ta2Don · 05-25-2016, 12:49 PM

Small update... I've been focusing on the 65 but this one gets attention occasionally...

Sourced a hood and other bits from a 61? Viking... A friend found this and we are halving the cost of the entire truck, complete with 292...

here are a few pics of the hood aka bonnet...

Really like this photo Don,

Looks like it is I prissiness and looking longingly out to freedom.

Colours are lovely too.

Ta2Don · 05-30-2016, 08:11 AM

Thanx mate, photo credit goes to my friend Tony who found this one... trying to get him to join this amazing community... he's just put a patined 62 & 1/2 (his designation) on the road and I will be sharing pics as soon as he drops by the store or here at the house.

He was supposed to come by the store yesterday but a fuel leak belayed those plans.
