Just to warn you, I will be asking many "stupid" questions so I appreciate your patience and expertise. ![]() I know there are a ton of talented people on here and yall seem more than happy to help, so I am very excited. Here is my new project. http://s533.photobucket.com/albums/e...%201965%20C10/ Greg |

Re: My '65
Welcome to your new addiction. I'm also in Arlington. I'm going to school at UTA, but all my projects are at home in Denton.
Good looking truck. What are your plans for it?

Yes I have been there a few times. They have some nice rides up there. They also have one at Park Row and Bowen every once in awhile.

Re: My '65
Nope, no club. But if you're interested in a club I'd check out Pickups N Panels(http://www.pickupsnpanels.com/default.htm). I've thought about joining, they seem like a good group.

Re: My '65
Welcome from Fort Worth, where in Arlington are you? If I may suggest, do not scrimp on your brakes, or anything for that matter. I have had my truck over 20 years and everytime I go through something, I wish I would have done something different the last time I was rebuilding or replacing something.
I admire you working on the truck with your son, that is very cool!!!!!!!!! Travillac, where in Rendon are you looking, I live very close to there, maybe I know the guy with the truck.
