Thanks! The whole family loves it. This was a picture of the morning back in October when my oldest granddaughter got a ride to school while her baby sister was being brought into the world. She was not allowed in the delivery room or to wait at the hospital to greet her . Thanks to the corona virus

. None of us were. So we kept her at our house and I gave her a ride to school instead

.

We have had it home a little over a year now. Sure are enjoying it. These pictures are from November when the Wife and I were out taking pictures to put on our Christmas card

**3757chevy** · 03-18-2021, 11:44 PM

The last couple of weekends I've dropped the fuel tank I installed last year to put the float in correctly ( 4 hour job on 3-7 ) I had the float on the wrong side of the sender.

**3757chevy** · 03-18-2021, 11:50 PM

Monday I received a new hood prop kit from The Filling Station , after going to the hardware store and buying bigger u bolts and re-drilling some holes I got it mounted .

**3757chevy** · 04-11-2021, 01:58 AM

Made a little upgrade a couple of weekends ago. I used some Beetle kill pine to make some sideboards.

VWNate1 · 04-11-2021, 10:18 AM

Thanks Dale . The Wife said "now you need to just buy the new hubcaps", so I ordered them only to be told they're on back order.

Hub caps would be nice. But in my opinion it still looks like a working truck while you're waiting. It looks great!

Kermitt47 · 04-11-2021, 10:39 PM

Looks good with the side boards and I like the Super Service sign touch.

Thanks, the color on the signs match the truck perfect.

**3757chevy** · 04-12-2021, 03:28 PM

My grandaughter suggested something across the back to keep things from falling out.

I said " you mean a tailgate?" . So now I'm working on that.

**3757chevy** · 04-19-2021, 11:53 PM

Got some hardware on the gate today . I also replaced the bushing in the steering column mount. The third picture is what was on the column for a bushing, some kind of butyl wrap that almost looked like electrical tape.

**3757chevy** · 05-06-2021, 01:13 AM

We were out for a Sunday drive last week and saw something I needed.

**3757chevy** · 05-06-2021, 01:45 AM

This trunk was on a trailer at the same corner store as that really cool truck. I had to have it. It fits perfect.

And its useful.

**Ol Blue K20** · 05-06-2021, 09:41 AM

Nice, the trunk looks nice.

VWNate1 · 05-06-2021, 02:37 PM

? Are you going to buy a Brand 'F' TT ? .

No That is the advertisement SIGN for the antique store where we bought the trunk. It used to belong to a friend of mine that sold it to the store to use as a SIGN for their business.

**3757chevy** · 05-14-2021, 12:05 AM

This weekend is the local car show that I have been looking forward to for over a year.

I have been adding turn signals to her this weekend. I bought a switch and some dual action 3/4" led lights . I made some dual light brackets for the rear and singles for the front. They will be park and turn signals once I get them wired up. The current tail lights are on with the headlights and act as my brake lights.
