Re: My Daughters First Truck
Man this is awsome. My daughter and I have just started on her 66 GMC short step. She is 13 and I have had the truck for a while and when I went to sell it she said she wanted it. That is a moment that make a daddy proud when the princess wants a classic truck and wants to help you build it. Gotta go wipe the tears from my eyes now. Gonna follow this post. Good Luck and Good Job.

Re: My Daughters First Truck
Hey 4d, I have been following your progress, seat is awesome, and nice work overall. You may recall that I put up a video of my daughter driving my truck for the first time back in May... she is pretty excited to dig in and help with my projects this winter, cheers!

I'm jealous... I have 5 girls and 1 boy and if it doesn't have Snooki or Honey Boo Boo they aren't interested in it... Sigh

Re: My Daughters First Truck
Once we got the passenger rocker off we had a surprise. the pillars both front and rear were toast. so placed another parts order today at Top Banana.

Re: My Daughters First Truck
Wow I thought my floor was hammered but wow! I rebuilt one whole side of mine before I ordered the parts or the other side. I would suggest getting parts from classic parts. The LMC parts I got we're horrible...

Re: My Daughters First Truck
Haven't used theirs yet. the rockers were from classic parts and they fit great. the cab corners and lower fenders are from Top Banana and they look to be a good match wont know untill i get the pillars fixed. i will post here the results. Thanks
