Finally started building my dads truck! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My pops turns 63 this year and we're finally starting on the 66 SWB BBW that he's had for a few years.

We pulled the whole thing apart down to a bare cab and pulled the frame and stripped it all yesterday in prep for sandblasting and painting the frame.

My pops spent 22 years in the Military then retired and spent another 22 years at The University of Texas. He is retiring this October and this will be his retirement "gift" but I'm on a super limited budget so I'm hoping I can score the remaining parts I need without breaking budget and stalling the build.

Wish me luck!
