Well this old dog fallowed me home. I had full intentions of partin her out for High Life. But I need a truck to use as a truck. She is gettin her cali mirrors reinstalled. The carb needs rebuilt bad. I think I have enuff High Life left overs to get her going. I have a couple extra wireing looms to fix that up.

jason65 · 09-13-2009, 07:48 PM

The ol girl showed up with more chet in the bed than when I first saw her.

jason65 · 09-13-2009, 07:53 PM

I guess the ol boy planed on maken her a big back window.

I'll be selling the galss.

jason65 · 09-13-2009, 07:57 PM

The parts in the bed were awsome. Supposed to be more on the way.

jason65 · 09-13-2009, 07:59 PM

A couple more.

markeb01 · 09-13-2009, 07:59 PM

Amazing isn't it, once one of these trucks makes up it's mind, it's hard to make them behave and stay where they were! Nice score.

jason65 · 09-13-2009, 08:15 PM

Thanks dude. I feel like I've been here before.

protrash64 · 09-13-2009, 11:25 PM

...looks like that steering wheel spent some time in the bed, too!! You're in trouble now, 2 trucks

jason65 · 09-14-2009, 07:39 AM

Yeah, thats going in the trash. When I get that auto column rebuilt it and a custom cab steering wheel are going to High Life and the manual column and stock steering wheel and floor shifter thats in High Life is going to High Life Light.

jchav62 · 09-14-2009, 09:31 AM

Cool truck Jason! Looks like a fun backroad cruiser... Keep us in mind for the extra gauge cluster..

Congrats...

Yep. I just need to make sure my speedometer and fuel gauge works.

MacAttack · 09-14-2009, 11:21 AM

Good stuff, Jason. Truck looks solid. It's nice having a back-up.

Mac.

Hoser's Girl · 09-14-2009, 01:15 PM

nice score!

jason65 · 02-07-2010, 07:10 PM

I got a parts truck for the 64. It will give me 4x4, 4 on the floor and all the other good stuff the 80s had to offer. I'm thinking it's gas tank will end up on the 65. I'll take care of the new chassis then put the 64 body on it with some body lift. Bigger tires and I'll go from there.

jason65 · 02-07-2010, 07:14 PM

I found some fishing lures in the cab.

Turkey · 02-07-2010, 07:55 PM

Speedometer? Really?

jason65 · 02-07-2010, 08:31 PM

Yea?

protrash64 · 02-07-2010, 09:03 PM

Nice!! You're good at holding off on projects; I jump back and forth and it seems like I'll never get there.

Looks like this will be a bunch of work.

ruffrida2005 · 02-07-2010, 10:01 PM

Good score on the fishing lures, but I believe you owe it to the old truck to take it fishing one last time.

4dranch · 02-08-2010, 12:13 AM

very cool score Jason

jason65 · 02-08-2010, 09:18 AM

Thanks for the kind words guys. I can't wait to get started. I already filled up trash can "the big green 50 gallon or so ones from the city." with crap from the truck and put the spare from the 64 on the red truck just so it's back on it's feet again.

Paul, The 64 has no brakes and the red one don't run. So I'll have to settle for sitting on the tailgate and

while I think about the fun I'm gonna have with this.

ruffrida2005 · 02-08-2010, 10:34 AM

Jason you could always flintsone it down to the nearest creek. That would be funny.

Jonboy · 02-08-2010, 10:31 PM

Are you going to part out the body on the red one?

*LILRED66* · 02-09-2010, 12:05 AM

Jason, nice score on both rigs. I have a '66 K20 with factory running gear, if you want to keep it factory.

Keep us posted and congrats.

**DPowers** · 02-09-2010, 10:00 AM
