Been extremely busy these last two weeks, but did get some pics from my neighbor Craig of a few of the guys who showed up on the July 4 get together. Most guys projects are being worked on and they drove their newer trucks. We did have around 20 people total and 7-8 trucks. He's got more pics that he'll be getting to me, but the couple he sent I'll post.

1st pic from left to right is Craig VanValkenburg - 1967 & 2012 chevy trucks, dune buggy and 3 corvairs
Al - 66 chevy, 63 falcon and 2013 ss Camaro
Austin - 63, 79 and 2003 chevy trucks
Eric - 62 & 89 chevy trucks
Myself - 63 fleetside and stepside chevy trucks

Haha...not bad for being painted outside huh?!

No, no rubber burning yet.....I'm kinda jammed up this week, so will be Sunday before I can attempt fire up. Will be 60 miles offshore this weekend looking for king mackerel and mahi's.....

Hows your truck coming along?

Craig does an awesome job on the photography and I'm looking forward to pulling the truck out....getting it all cleaned up and letting loose with the camera.

hope u got plenty of fuel to make it back to shore!!! dude I'm knee deep in nos parts. been on a tear the last few weeks, spending all the overtime money i can get. once i get all the parts, its off to the black phos dude and pot metal plater. my plan is to run out of parts to buy then rebuild all in one swoop. it cost me nothing to put stuff back together. i get tired of searching and picking!!! i wanna build!!!!!

Just glad I'm not paying the fuel bill for the boat. 95' and takes around 45 people to make a trip out of it. But I do plenty of good fishing when we go. Catch a lot of grouper, black sea bass, snappers, mahi and have caught some decent king macks off of it also.

The rebuild is the tedious but fun part of the job in my opinion. My wife likes it do to the fact parts are leaving the house and not entering it. Nice that you have a stockpile of NOS parts to use. Keep me updated on progress!!

You welcome anytime at the house TJ.

Catching up on your fun here…

Looks like the 4th get-together was a hit… Thanks for the link on the ground straps...

After reading about all the "fun" these truck's electrics can be, I pulled the trigger and ordered a set for mine…

They are nice ground straps. Was well pleased with the quality.

Sure wish I could've made the get together, had some family stuff jump off at the last moment. I'm glad you guys had fun. If anyone is hitting the Blue Ridge Parkway to look at leaves this fall, let me know and stop by for a cup of coffee. My VFW Post up here had a car show last weekend, not many Chevy Trucks, mostly Brand X.

We'll do another one probably in Oct. My borther in law just moved up north of Winsten-salem, I'll let you know if we make it up that way.

Been busy with work lately and hitting the beach and offshore lately for some great fishing, but really need to get back on the truck. So close to having it on the road.....

Happy fishing. Hope you get some good catches!

Yeah....I don't eat it, but its hard to keep me off the water. Ended up leaving at 5am yesterday to make it to oak island for some pier fishing.

Had an older retired man who loved to fish, but did not like to eat it either down the street from me when we lived in Panama City Beach, he always brought his catch to us and the neighbor across the street! We seemed to always have something good from him.

I get it from my great grandfather. He was the same way. Wouldn't eat fish, but you couldn't keep the man off a boat or out of the water.

Like your neighbor, most of mine goes to friends and family. Seems plenty of people don't like to fish, but love to eat it, so its a win win for me.
