Btw, he has 17 panels and subs from 55-59, all unrestored, some old school buses suburbans, 2 1 ton panels, and 4 original V8's, and a 57 ice cream truck and a 56 original v8 bus (gm said they didnt make a v8 bus in 56 but we have one). He probably has the biggest unrestored collection in the country, granted they arent show trucks, but i wouldnt mind fixing one up someday.

Keep up the good work, me likey.

He have any that he would sell parts off of???

Just looking for the headliner trim for a suburban. I've got the front and sides but the rear piece was too rusted.

millertime57 · 03-15-2010, 11:42 PM

nice!! I really like the front suspension and the windows.

GRIMSS · 05-30-2010, 09:45 PM

Well my latest project showed up 6 days early on Friday.

We named her Myka Jane. Both her and her mother are doing great.

72BlckButy · 05-30-2010, 09:50 PM

Was just thinking of you.... what a beautiful addition Jared!!!!

Give our best to Mom and to Myka Jane; she's beautiful!

Life will never be the same, but I know you wouldn't change a thing.

Can't wait to meet her.

all right now you got a ''little'' to help you build so lets see some progress

Fat Mike · 09-15-2010, 02:43 PM

How much narrower did you have to make the frame to get it to work with the crossmember you have now? Are there going to be any issues with the motor, headers, or steering rack and pinion?

57ToyBox · 09-15-2010, 04:34 PM

Way to go Jared / Dad
She is adorable

2" per side, and yes there will be issues.

How much of an issue I don't know yet.

I had planned on having the motor higher in the engine bay. Never liked how low the engines set in these trucks.

Thanks man. I'm starting her into cars early.

And her first truck show last weekend.

72BlckButy · 09-15-2010, 07:42 PM

She was the doll at the ball so to speak, you and your wife are quite lucky.

Fat Mike · 09-15-2010, 11:28 PM

Congrats on the baby girl and good luck with her!
