thanks mcmurphy, i had picked those two colors out a long time ago and now i'm just glad to start seeing the truck with those colors coming together! My daughter said it looks pretty, my boy said its awesome, there 3 and 4! i had a big grin after they said that! that really made my day, if you know what i mean!!

well I did get something done these last weekend! got my grille welded, I cut the bracket on the R and then made two cut so I could bend it back same! then hammer and dolly it a lil, look a lot better since the R was off center on the support bracket! then on sunday my buddy broke my back glass for my truck that I did plan on putting in this last weekend! and he said he will pay for it, plus drive me 2hrs. to Bentonville to get a smoke grey back glass, I think i'll get my side glass well i'm there too!, it's only $129 for the side glass set!

ya, i couldn't figure out how i wanted to do it, i thought about cutting the support but after seeing how you did it! it was just easier to bend the bottom of the R then the top and bottom of the support brace! i also seen this chrome grille on here, i think it belongs to a forum member or did!!

I have a 1964 C-10 long bed and want to also put a metal floor. Did the 78 also come in a long bed?

man, the grill is sick

[chad64chevy]

thanks flips for the comment!

I haven't been on in awhile, and I haven't got much done on the truck lately! I've let life get in the way and have been in neutral! the wife don't like here job, I don't care about mine, it pays the bills! but after talking with the wife the last two week! we are going to move up to Tulsa, ok. about 1 1/2-2 hrs. away with better jobs and her family lives up there around income tax time! I've got a few friends that are going to help with getting a job and a house up there for me when that time comes! its just where we live now its getting harder to find any good jobs! if I could move now I think the wife would start packing!

I did get my passenger side rear fenderwell widened put didn't get pics of it, I will this next weekend! i'm still going to work on the truck, its just around feb.-march i'll be moving!!

[flips72]

good to see ya back chad, hate to here about the job trouble but totally understand about not having a lot of work in the area, just south of us is the carpet capital, Dalton ga. and they were hit extremely hard, lots of people out of work and plenty others having to take jobs way below their skill levels just to feed their families. hope the move will be exactly what yall need, plus it will be good to be close to family.

[chad64chevy]

thanks flips, I for one am one of those people that have taking a job way below my skill level! but you got to do what you can for your family and hope everything works out, the move will be exactly what we need!

[gimmy 64]

only an hour and a half away that's what us Californians do. drive to work everyday. live where rent is cheep and drive where the jobs are. but I here you on the life thing you do what you got to do.

[Jmorales3181]

Hope the move works for you and your family! I sometimes wish my girl would be ready for us to just pack up so i can move back to az. But like you said you do what you have to do for your family...well most of us guys anyway

thanks coulter, yes I have! we are moving to Tulsa in feb., that way we have the time and money! my lead at work, his step-father has rental houses up there and said he would give me his number when we move up there, he told me; he's got a nice 3bedroom, 2bath, 2 car garage, 4 car carport, fenced yard front and back for not much more then i'm paying now and is willing to sell it too! and he has offered to help me get on at his brother job, running a brake press for $16hr., my wifes dad also works in a metal shop and offered to help me with a job for $15-18hr., he runs a cnc burner for $15-18hr., all-in-all its like a win-win to move! just wish I had the money to move now so I could pay things off here and just move!
