Trying my best...

I only wish I had the tools and space to do the work on this truck myself.  Unfortunately, I have neither.  I inherited this truck from my little brother who passed away in 1990.  There was a big push to rebuild the truck after that.  Parts were ordered from Golden State Pickup in Cali, the truck was disassembled and it ended up sitting out in the AZ sun for years.  It even went through a couple of different car covers in all that time.  Eventually it started getting in the way where it was sitting so it kept being hidden further and further behind things.

I took over the truck in 2007.  It made it down to Arizona Street Rods where it received its Heidts IFS, 4 link and rack & pinion.  They cleaned up the frame, boxed it up a little and made a gas tank for it that sat between the rails.  The Wilwood rotors & brakes were added and the entire body was media blasted and primed with Squeeg's yellow.

Back to the garage it went for 3 years.  

Skip forward to 2011-2012 & early 2013.  Hot Rods by Dean has done an excellent job of cleaning up the body, tucking the bumpers and adding some nice blue paint.

Going for a stock interior look, but of course there are ways to mix functionality with style.

Growing up the grandson of a great Chevy mechanic makes me proud to have the ability to make this ride something my little bro would be proud to see.  I know he's watching over the build.   I won't let you down CJS.
