Hey Charlie,
Fun, eh? I have a 1969 Chevy Pick-up that I'm doing that to right now.
My wife and I started on it about two years ago. I just work on it
during the summer tho, since it is in an unheated garage. We stripped it
down to the frame. I have the cab on the frame. We were starting to get
the AC unit mounted when we quit for the year. We also have plans for
power windows and door locks. I owned the truck back in high school when
my then girlfriend (she's my wife now), were dating. Lots of memories.
The truck has an interesting story to it. My dad bought the truck back
in about 1972. He had it for about five years before he sold it to me.
My wife and I had it for about seven years, then I sold it to my
brother. He only owned it about two years, when he sold it to my uncle.
He had it for about six years, when I found out he was going to trade it
off. Wife and I decided to buy it back for sentimental reasons. So I own
it again. Anyway it went through five owners (counting me twice) and it
always had the Brookbank name on the title.
I'm hoping to have it running next summer. We want to put it all
together again and make sure the air and power windows are going to work
A-OK. Then we're going to tear it down again and rebuild and repaint
everything. I used to have my own body shop and still have all of the
tools.
later
