Thanks for the reminder.  I loved your restoration build.  Thanks for sharing.  I hope to continue on my 2 builds with write ups.  Life gets in the way and even though I built my dream shop it is so packed I can't work on either at the moment very easily.

Dang that was a long time ago.  I guess Chris's site has stood the test of time.  Best Chevy truck site on the web.

Life has a way of getting in the way.  I've had 3 cars since I got the truck, one crashed, ones my fav daily driver ever and one is my new project.  But the old truck just carrys on.  Only been towed twice in 48 years.  not a bad record.  one for a frozen brake caliper and one for the fuel lines rotted so bad the engine was sucking air.

2005 or so, before I got it out the farm cat had some kittens that lived under and in the engine bay of the truck... ;D

Kittens all got rehomed to places like SC, PA, OH and MS.  I was told by my aunt dang near every one of em lived 18 years.

These pics are the first day I had the truck on 6-25-2006 when I unburied it and got it out of its garage grave.  It'd been sitting about 12 years.  only had 76k on it.

1st pic is it in its resting place...lol

rest are when I drug it it out, aired up the tires and got it running again.  surprisingly I just pumped a bunch of r-134a into the ac system and it worked for another 3-4 years.   :o
