I like your rig. Looks like those photos were taken at Park College in Parkville, MO. My shop is in Kansas City, KS. Let me know if I can help you with anything 4-5-6 Chevy Trucks related. I have a whole slug of these trucks in my collection.

It oughta look familiar to you, Tony. I traded out those Custom trim panels with you, and I've been to your place a couple of times.

My B.I.L. just bought a nice '66 3/4 Ton. I told him about you, so who knows, you might be hearing from him when he needs stuff too.

I guess my memory is fading. I now remember your visit to my shop for the Custom cab sails. Congrats to you B.I.L. on his latest purchase and thanks for passing my information on to him. I hope all is well.

Had this baby for nearly three years now; originally from San Francisco area but now in the United Kingdom and still working for it's living, albeit semi-retired!

Been using her all this week as my partner's car has failed its annual roadworthiness test and she's borrowed my BMW for work!

Out tomorrow with a 125 Suzuki on the back; sold it to a buddy of mine and meeting him halfway (about 140 mile round trip) and that's one more piece of Japanese junk outta my garage!

gmcmom · 10-29-2007, 01:59 PM

Ok, So here's the 13 yr old daughters first project. What do you think? I'm thinking a little interior,glass, wheels & tires. Then clear it!! Done!?

littlee_domn8r · 10-29-2007, 03:43 PM

here's my 63. I've had it for over 9 years now. The paint is starting to peel off in addition to it's natural fade. The other one is a 66 that I used to own.

johnnyzoom · 10-30-2007, 04:32 AM

New here, proud new owner of a 63 C-10, 230 6cyl I believe.

Got some work cut out for me, working on exhaust and 2 row alluminum radiator to start, then move on to dual MC conversion, suspension, and... everything else!

Already learned a lot from browsing posts here, looking forward to learning more about these cool trucks from you guys.
