My Truck Is Finally Coming Home
 

After 3 long years my 72 short fleet truck is finally coming home from a frame off restoration .I cant wait to put a bunch of miles on it ,should be ready to pick up on saturday . I am ready to celebrate and drive it to North Carolina soon to let the previous owner see and drive it .He really did not want to sell it but he knew he could not afford to save it and I promised him I would make him proud of it again.:devil::chevy:

Re: My Truck Is Finally Coming Home
 

Yes I sold the 55 quite a while back ,one of my neighbors bought it so I still get to see it .I bought the 1 ton with some of the cash and added extras to the fleetside truck as well.

Re: My Truck Is Finally Coming Home
 

Well its monday. Pic's please.

Re: My Truck Is Finally Coming Home
 

I have not heard anything from the bodyshop yet but I hope it is ready to come home after work today ,maybe . It has been a very long 3 years and Ive been very patient but my patience is running out .

Re: My Truck Is Finally Coming Home
 

It's not even my truck and my patience is wearing thin too. I wanna see it.....:lol::lol:

Re: My Truck Is Finally Coming Home
 

Anticipation....

Re: My Truck Is Finally Coming Home
 

I guess I started this post a bit too soon .There are pics of it almost complete on chevelleforum.net but I dont know how to transfer them here .It is also a v bulletin site ,one of the members there posted them for me .That forum is also open to any car or truck no matter what make . Im still waiting to hear from the shop .I guess Im going to have to go home and get my wife's Malibu convertible out and destress .

Re: My Truck Is Finally Coming Home
 

I just got the call from the shop ,the shop doing the A/C just got the truck back to the bodyshop at 4:30 and they want to give it a good cleaning so I will pick it up tomorrow at about 4:30 after I get off work. Pics will follow as soon as I find someone to post them for me .

Re: My Truck Is Finally Coming Home
 

Can you email the pictures? If so, PM me.

Re: My Truck Is Finally Coming Home
 

PM sent , thanks .

Re: My Truck Is Finally Coming Home
 

Was it three years in the shop?

I've been kicking the idea of sending mine in for bodywork but I keep reading of some shops that put these old trucks in the background and just do piece-meal work on them when they have free time.

Re: My Truck Is Finally Coming Home
 

Looking forward to seeing it. My cab has been at the shop for just a few weeks and I am getting anxious to get it back. Can't imagine waiting 3 years.

Re: My Truck Is Finally Coming Home
 

It is just short of 3 years in the shop ,but it will be worth the wait .I did know going in that they made their living on insurance work and restorations came next .They have done a great job on it and done a lot of things I had not planned on but Im thrilled with .
