Hoping to buy back first truck in the AM-wish me luck

[1LOW4X4]

My First truck was a 1964 GMC suburban. 305 V6/2 speed powerglide. It was teal green and white, and it had a really nice patina. (the paint was original and worn-beautiful). But me, I was young and stupid, and didnt see that. I didnt see how rare these were, and to have one with a 305 V6 that ran well (the original) and all that....man it was cool. Dad gave it to me, him and mom were divorced and I was living with mom. He gave it to me but didnt help me out on it, I mean it ran but you know, It needed inspection and registration and all that....He kinda just dropped it off and left it at that. So a kid with no money or job, I focused on looks.....when I couldve left it alone.

Eventually primered it orange and stuff....and then a rod started knocking in the engine, spun a bearing. Anyways, Got a newer truck and lost interest in this. Its hard to do a frame up resto with no experience and no money.

Well now things are different. I've got several custom trucks under my belt, got a good paying career and all that....The '01 sits in the garage and yall have seen the progress I've made on the '86....I started thinking about that old 64 the other day. I could really do it some justice, weld up all the rust, paint it satin teal and white (what it came with) put some baby moons on it to roll on, have the paint distressed and give it that worn patina and let it rust a little...and have something like "Boudreauxs Garage" painted on the door (my name)....

I was very happy to hear that dad still had the motor in the yard under a tarp, it didnt go with the truck. I would LOVE to tear it down, have the machinist fix what needs fixin, and put her back in the burb. Its not a high compression motor by any means, but you can cruise 70 all day long. It would have the originality....I'd probably go with a 700r for that overdrive.

Anyways, I'm getting really excited. I sold it years ago. Then I heard that guy sold it, and then my dad and my uncle told me they saw it sitting under a shed out on a country road about 30 miles from my house.

Tomorrow, with my uncle in the passenger seat, I am riding up there, and if he still has it, I'm going to try to buy it back! If he doesnt, I'll get ahold of whoever does! Hopefully it hasnt been scrapped

I could do this thing justice REAL quick guys, I am praying he still has it and will sell.

Heres a pic (the only one I have) of the truck after I primered it. hood off.


And heres a pic of the paint mine had when I got it. This is exactly what my suburban looked like when I got it, the paint I mean. Its 2wd and all, and the paint was old, but there. Thats what it would look like. I always loved the front end it had on it.
