Congrats on the purchase, Tom. I noticed it for sale the other day.

Welcome to the forum. You wouldn't happen to be from Longview, TX would you? I had a Tom Shaw work for me at my previous job and he moved out the GA area.

likaroc13 · 05-02-2013, 02:20 PM

Congrats Tom, You got a killer truck! And welcome aboard. Looking forward to seeing it finished.

Good luck Tom! It's a great truck. You're going to have a blast

tshaw · 05-02-2013, 02:30 PM

Thanks guys, no I'm originally from IL on the border of Iowa.

I have to be honest I was nervous about buying the truck just because I am afraid I'll screw it up. Alan and Ronnie have done incredible things with this truck. I have a hard time with patience but I think I'll have to learn some on this.

Alan's Classic · 05-02-2013, 02:40 PM

Welcome aboard Tom, glad your gonna continue the build. Your right, your not far from me.

Thanks Alan, I know I'm going to be busy in the month of May with kids graduating, baseball, soccer, etc. (I have 5 kids) But I hope to get started soon. Just glad it made the 2 hour trip unharmed.

Alan's Classic · 05-02-2013, 02:45 PM

Patience is a virtue with any old vehicle. When you find yourself getting getting mad just walk away and come back with a clear mind. Remember to breath.

That would be great I forgot to ask Ronnie for it in all the excitement yesterday.

Strodder · 05-02-2013, 03:28 PM

I'm sure you will with Alan's guidance.

It's a big relief that Alan is just down the road from me. I'm sure I'll be giving you a call in the near future.
Thanks again Ronnie

Tom your welcome........ I hope you enjoy your new truck, I'm going to miss her

Well I don't have time in my life to finish it, you know I have one foot in the grave and another one on a banana peel....... I was going to buy me a 70-73 Camaro....... I changed my mind, imagine that

So today I went to Knoxville Tenn and bought me this 66 ..........

FetchMeAPepsi · 05-04-2013, 12:00 AM

Nice color, but the bed on it is a little small. Whats the towing capacity?

Jeff La · 05-04-2013, 08:20 AM

Congrats guys, looks like its a win win for both of you

Talk about 1 foot in the grave.I have a lot of work to do on mine. At my age, I hope I live that long.

BTW, Nice Chevelle

tshaw · 06-12-2013, 03:40 PM

I thought I would post some pictures on the progress of the truck. We got the windshield in and the new vent windows. I've been switching the v pulleys over to the march aluminum serpentine pulleys and we got the bed in. The wire harness is pulled through most places just need to finish that up. Brakes are just about all hooked up, put wire looms on, ran transmission cooler lines and it seems like a lot more but that's all I can think of right now.

likaroc13 · 06-12-2013, 03:44 PM

Looking good, & thanks for keeping us up-to-date!

Strodder · 06-12-2013, 09:23 PM

Looks awesome

aggie91 · 06-13-2013, 11:04 AM

Wow, looks great!

Low Elco · 06-13-2013, 12:49 PM

Man, that's turned out pretty. Love the color, and what a story. Good Luck with it Tom, but it's lookin' like you won't need it.

tshaw · 06-13-2013, 02:41 PM

Thanks guys, it's kind of like eating a big plate of spaghetti. It seems like you just keep eating and you don't see much of it going away.
