It's about the only one I can afford.

Driveway Dreams · 12-14-2010, 11:22 PM

I hear ya there. But my other cars are a 95 Civic, (ask the locals, not exactly a gem.) And the wife drives an 01 Jeep Cherokee. And I still can barely make changes on the truck 3 times a year. But we will have big changes real soon! Real soon, indeed.

I'll have another truck sometime down the road. If anything the board has really helped me refine what I really want. I'm trying to stick to the good things come to those who wait philosophy.

Sometimes it's easier said than done.

Pop's C-10 · 01-17-2011, 05:07 AM

what is tha color code for tha paint on ya wheel..

rayfinseats · 01-20-2011, 02:45 AM

Love the hockey stripe. You can also wash seatbelts in a washing machine...drip dry.

Driveway Dreams · 01-22-2011, 11:19 AM

Pop's C-10: That was a spray bomb. It is pretty close to how I am going to paint the truck though. There are a few OE colors out there like that. Honda has one, Toyota has a tri-coat that's close, GM has had a few, Dodge has one on the new trucks that is pretty close too. Hit me up if you have a question on those. Or if you want help finding them.

rayfinseats: Thanks for the comment on the stripe. It is fun for now. I get alot of comments on it around town. The seat belts were not too bad to wash in the bucket. But the dye did not work a bit.

Driveway Dreams · 03-13-2011, 12:04 PM

Plans are changing.

I have come to the decision that it is time to get rid of the Toybox and get something that is more family friendly. So, I am going to be selling this one and/or trading it to get a 60-66 Suburban. My Grandpa gave me a 64 GMC pickup at age 16. I have always wanted it back. Now, I will...but as a family hauler. Once I get my subscription renewed I will list it officially. But just thought I should give an update.

6772owner · 03-13-2011, 12:18 PM

Sounds good to me, good luck with getting a burb buddy.

JohnC · 03-13-2011, 03:05 PM

Sweet man. Do you already have a lead on a burb, or is the search starting after the "Toybox" is sold?

Driveway Dreams · 03-13-2011, 05:32 PM

Have have my eyes on a couple, all stock type projects. But I have to sell the truck first. My wife told me one day a couple weeks ago that I wanted all of the family to be involved with truck stuff that I would need a different truck. One that we could all fit in. So, this is where I go with it.

Here's to finding a good one soon! I want this over with before I talk myself out of it.

c.brown · 03-21-2011, 08:00 PM

nice truck had 85 blue one just like it, i started my project as a 66 flleetside prostreet truck then had two kids sold it 3/4 of the way done and bought a 66 suburban so the whole family could fit ,good luck hope you get one

Driveway Dreams · 04-09-2011, 10:12 AM

Well, I would like everyone to help welcome ftcstunter to the forum. He is the new owner of this truck. He has some BIG plans to take this thing further. It is gonna be sick guys! Watch for him and help him out.

As for me...I'm moving to the 60-66 section. Sorry, but I got a Burb.

TonyJohnson · 04-09-2011, 10:38 AM

Good luck with the burb. Can't wait to see it.

Tony

The first: I got some free seat belts from Adam, Cochino12. I thought I would dye them Black as they were Dark Blue. FAIL! Results to follow...Showing the wash, the dye, the rinse, and the old vs new.

where did you get the tshirt with the 61 chevy on the back???

Tony, come on up & see it! I will even let you help.

Driveway Dreams · 04-25-2012, 12:41 AM

I miss this truck. I will probably miss it less once the Suburban is put together and I can drive it. But today...I miss this one.
