Thanks Buddy. In some ways I think I appreciate my Dad now more than I did when he was still around. I don't think I had the life experience back then to appreciate what he'd done for our family all his life.

Incredible offer and it COULD happen. I have a sister-in-law that lives in Auburn. I looked it up and it isn't very far from Yuba City. Maybe Spring or next Summer I'll be up that way. If I go, I'll drop you a PM if for nothing else just to see your beautiful truck in person. Thanks again for the kind words, Dan

Well, the truck is looking beautiful but it pales in comparison to your beautiful baby girl. She's a cutie pie!

Calling in sick to work I call it, "I've got a case of anal glaucoma" That translates into, "I can't see my ass going to work today."

If your daughter knows the Sun rises and sets on her as far as you're concerned she's likely to be more careful about disappointing you and she's more likely to ultimately pick a man that will treat her well like her dad taught her to expect from a man.

Enjoy her, they grow up FAST. Mine gave me a granddaughter this summer and though I can't imagine loving either one of them more, every day I do!

Re: My 1959 apache project

Man I LOVE the 55-56 car dashes in our trucks. It's never made sense to me that they weren't always in the trucks since in those days trucks were usually work vehicles and the center glovebox would have been more convenient/safer.

I also love that you used the '55 stainless instead of the '56. GREAT job. Just out of curiosity, where'd you find your dash. I've looked but never found one used.

Yes I had the crazy idea of doing it but was actually going to add another speedo cut out and one day I said to myself why not do a 55-56 dash insert piece so I found a dash assembly on the tri-five facebook thread bought it and just cut out the pass side and glove box integrated into the existing dash. The pass side is a built in color bar (70s thing) ill post a video once I assemble it

I also love that you used the '55 stainless instead of the '56. GREAT job. Just out of curiosity, where'd you find your dash. I've looked but never found one used.

Re: My 1959 apache project

Truck is eye candy. Would enjoy just sitting in a chair and staring at it for an hour or so. Your daughter is so cute! Been years since ours were that little. About our grandsons age.

Firewall pad on the inside or outside? Thinking inside. If you have sound deadener already applied, do you need one inside? I used a black trim cloth glued to the sound deadener on the last build. Made the silver disappear.
