Awesome project!!!
I noticed the thread started in 2011, How old is Darrah, now???

The awesome part is the relationship you have built with your child, many parents are clueless.
A parent only gets one shot at doing it right!!!
You get an A+ from me!!!

I really like the 60-66's. Just plain old work'n man's pickup!

Leaving the old wood can have it's advantages. You can use the pickup for what it was intended...w/o worrying about scratches, etc...

Thanks for the comments. here are a couple of pictures. First is the colors that Darrah picked out, the green and gunmetal gray. the other one is the dash finished,

Looking sweet!

**Dieselwrencher** · 02-26-2015, 04:55 PM

That'll look very nice!

creep · 02-26-2015, 06:55 PM

Nice! Is it going to be a 2 tone or is it going to be a solid color body with a different color for the grille and bumpers?

Solid with the grill and bumpers being the gray color and I think she wants the top of the dash gray also.

4dranch · 03-01-2015, 07:25 PM

Matthew wanted Darrah to come by and sign off on her colors and boy was she happy. He painted some parts for her.

Modges'66 · 03-01-2015, 07:48 PM

Very cool!!!

4dranch · 03-02-2015, 10:33 PM

Thanks

4dranch · 03-02-2015, 11:28 PM

Some Update pictures of the bed with some fresh paint. nice job Matthew.

Grizz1963 · 03-03-2015, 03:21 AM

Not just looking great but also one of the colours that was on my mental short list for my truck. Before Nicola decided on the read.

RUN GMC · 03-03-2015, 09:21 AM

I bet Darrah can't stop smiling right now, great work.

rustbucket66 · 03-03-2015, 11:28 PM

I have been following this build for quite a while. Very cool, the truck, Darrah, and the relationship you have, and building it together. I like it happening in stages and driving the truck throughout. Getting exciting now, for both of you. Keep us posted.
