Thanks Alan. Darrah said last night to "Go call Mr. Alan to help us align the door" I told her I don't think he's up

Yes it was, read what Darrah said about calling Alan.

Good luck with your build.

I generally go to bed around 12:00 am, call anytime you need help. I've got my phone off when I'm getting my beauty rest.

It doesn't help, but I keep trying.

Hannah wants to know if she can come play with the new vent window?

LostMy65 · 03-04-2012, 10:51 PM

Great pics.
Looks like things lined up nicely.

4dranch · 03-04-2012, 11:15 PM

Thanks
Everything lined up ok except the top of the door,

Cool project and even cooler doing it with your daughter. My youngest is 14 And I had a 66 step side but she is too short to drive it. We are looking for something to work on over the summer that she can reach the pedals and see over the dash. She is only 4"6'' a little vertically challenged. Keep her interested in that truck and you guys will always remeber these times

Austin Martin...Karmin Gia....MG... Triumph?
Not a big truck like ours, but still smart looking classics !!!

4dranch · 03-05-2012, 10:00 PM

Funny you say that. My oldest daughter is 20 and she's 4'9" and she won't even try Darrah's truck she complains when she has to drive my Sonoma

jimmythompson1964 · 03-06-2012, 08:30 AM

She sat in a GEO Tracker and can reach everything and likes the idea of taking the top off this summer. If anyone has one of these let me know..has to be automatic. Not as cool as a Chevy truck but it will be good on gas.

ctandc · 03-06-2012, 09:10 AM

Awesome to see this. A friend of mine just gifted me a '66 C10 LWB. Surprisingly my 15 year old son has gotten really excited about fixing this up for him to drive. I talked him into us flat blacking it and making it look old school.

4dranch · 05-26-2012, 09:54 AM

Little update.
Last month Darrah and I were selling some stuff at the swap meet at the Super Chevy Show and Darrah did some trading with another guy selling there and scored a nice old Firestone bike.
She has also been saving and bought a couple things. A working radio and a set of port-a-walls.

I know a lot of folks are not fans of the port-a-walls,
So please do not post negative comments here.

Thanks, David

4dranch · 05-26-2012, 09:56 AM

Porta-walls
Not mounted yet but will look good.

CRGRS 66 · 05-26-2012, 10:51 AM

My new favorite build thread, love your daughters joyful smiling face! Hope you are keeping the 6 cyl, love the 6's. I have a 283, but if I ever do another one it will be a 6 for sure.

likaroc13 · 05-27-2012, 12:28 AM

nothing negative because i like whitewalls myself...back when i had my '93 C-1500, i was contemplating running Port-a-walls to add to the old school theme i had...however, many folks told me it simply won't work well with radial tires....not sure if ya'll are running them on radials, but i would definitely be interested in knowing how it works out for ya

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-29-2012, 05:22 PM

I think those white walls will look nice on it. tell her nice scores! That bicycle looks really nice for it's age!
