Miller92 · 12-16-2010, 11:17 PM

Strodder · 12-16-2010, 11:25 PM

Your a head of me already. At least yours is mostly together. Were you standing on your head when you took the picture of the seats?

Miller92 · 12-16-2010, 11:47 PM

lol no I was tryin to get as much in the pic as I can. I still got a good ways to go and its gonna be alot longer since I aint got a job at the moment.

Strodder · 12-17-2010, 03:15 AM

Stay focused on getting a job first. Then the truck will eventually come along. Even when you have a job, it still takes forever.

Miller92 · 12-17-2010, 03:05 PM

Yea, right now I'm just screwin around with stuff I don't have to spend any money on. Its hard gettin a job when you live in a small town and go to school til 2.

Nice build man.

that truck looks like it has late model motor mounts?

**Bugeyev8** · 12-17-2010, 06:33 PM

good looking project truck looks like it has later power steering and disk brakes already, just throw an engine in it and get it going...

Miller92 · 12-17-2010, 08:30 PM

Thanks guys. Yea it does have quite a few late model parts on it. My dad's best friend had it before and he had a late model 350 in it. I have a crap motor that I'm goin to put in it for right now while I'm building my good one. We should have it in within 2 or 3 weeks hopefully, will definately have more pics up. Can't wait to get it on the road.

Joey Newell · 01-15-2011, 03:04 PM

Thanks man. I've got a lil more done since the last pics, just haven't taken any pics yet. Got the front clip (not the hood) all painted and ready to bolt together and cleaned out the cab and bed. Still got a long ways to go, but what do you expect with an old truck? lol

67chevy1series · 01-15-2011, 04:48 PM

Yea I like them better than the 64-66. I wanna go as stock as possible with mine but I decided that after I already done that with mine (we wanted to go rat rod/custom at first) so now I'm trying to find a replacement that's in better shape, and the trim that goes around it. That piece is missing outta mine.

Yea, just gotta find them bills. lol it sucks just moving to a small town cause all the jobs are taken by the people that's lived here for a while. I'll go take some quick pics while I'm thinking bout it.

Miller92 · 01-15-2011, 05:59 PM

Here's a couple

Miller92 · 01-15-2011, 06:03 PM

A few more. Already had a roll-pan in the back. lol

Miller92 · 01-15-2011, 06:08 PM

And the last few

**Bugeyev8** · 01-15-2011, 10:46 PM

sweet looks like its already got a steel bed floor installed to !!

Miller92 · 01-16-2011, 01:43 AM

Yea I thought that was pretty cool. I like the wood beds but I like to be different too so I like that its got a steel bed. I was thinking bout painting it but as much as I'll be using it and hauling stuff I'm thinking bout putting Rhino-Liner in it instead.

Miller92 · 01-18-2011, 09:40 PM

Finally got the roll pan put on! Slowly coming along.

Ol'63Gmc · 01-19-2011, 04:19 PM

Looks awesome!! You know what you're gonna do as far as paintin her yet?

Miller92 · 01-19-2011, 06:41 PM

Thanks. And no, not for sure just yet, but I'm thinking about a dark metallic purple. My dad had an '81 Camaro that was that color and I've always said whatever I build imma paint it that color.

Miller92 · 02-03-2011, 07:36 PM

Hey guys, sorry I aint been on in a while to update, I was in an accident in my S-10 coming home one night and I've just been laid up resting. No pics at the moment but the front clip is bolted together and once I can do a little more work we're going to set the motor in it. I'll try to get out and post pics as soon as I can.
