This is when we went and looked at the truck and asked if they would take payments? the guy had to ask his brother.(That was the owner) After a sleepless nite my son got the call that they would let him make payments for it...:metal:

this is a pic of it after a new carb,fuel pump and oil/filter change.(it hasnt ran in a few years ) After we got it running and teachin him how to smoke the tires, We removed all of the trim,emblems and welded up all of the holes and spot primed the work.

This is him welding up the holes on the tailgate.He wants to get a new gate in the future that is plain and relocate the latch to the inside...He is hoping to get a job this summer to buy parts for his truck like power steering/brakes,lowering kit rims tires,cowl hood, replace some of the rusted panels, and have the truck all in primer..Think he will have it legal and drive it to school next year (his jr year) We are so proud of him, he just got his Eagle Scout and has earned all of the moneys to buy and work on his truck. So nice to be apart of this with him.

From one Eagle to another: Great Job!

Re: This is my sons first truck..
 

WAY COOL! reminds me of myself and my Dad when he bought me my first vehicle... a 1968 Chevrolet C10 3 on the tree 250 straight 6. I was smiling just as big as your son is in his pic. Good job!

Re: This is my sons first truck..
 

Awesome! I missed getting a '70 short-fleet when I was about 19...and now, 26 years later, I'm finally getting around to owning one (a '72 LWB).

It's great to see the next generation working on these great trucks! Good luck with the truck...have fun with it!

That's neat! Seems you raised a good one.

Re: This is my sons first truck..
 

im an eagle scout as well. Not sure I like the direction the BSA has been heading in the last few years though. :(

Nice truck.

Re: This is my sons first truck..
 

Yes it is..

Re: This is my sons first truck..
 

Yes was very cool they had a few people that wanted it, one wanted it for a farm truck, But they didnt want to kill it. Even sold it to him for alittle less than they were asking...there still is good peps out there

Re: This is my sons first truck..
 

showed him the post and all of the replies, He said kool and thanks to everyone...

Re: This is my sons first truck..
 

Very cool. Good young man to be interested in these old trucks! And good dad, of course.

Curious how custom you plan to go with the semi-rare anniversry truck you have there? Noted you all welded up the chevrolet hood letter holes, that's the only reason I was asking. What are your paint plans? Gonna retain the white/gold motif or go custom? Good luck on your father/son build, I think it's a great thing. Here's some motivation.... (can you tell where my vote goes, i.e. original :lol:) Pic #2 is a member's truck - some of the others might be also. Saw an absolutely beautiful one at last year's LA Roadster Show (pics 4 & 5). Personally, I'd LOVE to have the anniversary k10 swb (pic #3). Oh my.

Re: This is my sons first truck..

Congrats!!! Never got to be an Eagle but have mentored and helped sponsor a couple Eagle projects.4 years Cubmaster 2 years Scoutmaster.

It's worth all it takes to have the memories you are making.

Re: This is my sons first truck..
 

Very nice pics. He is wanting to paint it black with green real fire and lower it about 4 rear and 2 1/2 front. putting in a lS motor (5.7) talkin about cuttin it and making it a swb and making the door glass one piece no wing windows. (guess he is going more custom.) But who knows he is young..

Re: This is my sons first truck..
 

Lol. Has he asked to remove the steering wheel, and steer with an XBox controller? I know my son would if he could

No he doesnt play video games to much.. He is wanting to be a dentist so he is always working on home work to keep his grades up, and stays busy with scouts, hunting and fishing and working on his truck..
