Hey guys, starting a new build thread for "Black Betty" since the pics from my old thread got messed up on Photobucket. I guess it kinda works out better anyway since plans have changed a little. To give a little background info, I found her on Craigslist while living in Pensacola, FL in 2009. At first the price was too steep, & I held off looking. Probably a couple months or so passed when I saw it available once again but with a more reasonable price. So I emailed about it to get more pics/info. After conversing for about a week through email, I was ready to take a look. However, when I called he told me that he thought he had a buyer. I was bummed. He told me I could still come look anyway, but I didn't want to go and get my hopes up. Well, about a week passed and he called me back. The guy still hadn't showed up or given any money. I later found out this guy (can't remember the name) lives in TX and travels the country buying selling 60-66 truck/Burb stuff. I went to look the truck over in person and made an offer the following day. Thankfully he accepted, & we proceeded with the sale. I was very happy, as I had sold my custom '93 Chevy C-1500 in 2007, hoping to find a cheap daily driver. That would also allow me the funds to look for a truck to replace the '64 my dad sold. This is the first antique truck I personally bought on my own. So, sometimes good things do come back around when you least expect it
