Blog on the restore of my old truck

My first vehicle was a 1965 Chevy Shortbed Fleetside pickup.

My dad had bought it in the late 70's and sold/gave it to me when I started driving.

I drove it all the way thru High School.

Dince then it has set in a backyard in Midland, Texas rotting away.

My son and I are going to get it this weekend and trailer it back here and start "restoring it"

At this time we are not sure how far we will go with the restoration. there are several diffrent levels of restoring a vehicle that is 40 years old. You can do a frame off 105 point show car restoration or a show car restoration, a driveable restoration etc.

My son wants to drive it, so I suspect we will make an everyday driver out of it. that is basically decent paint, good engine and brakes, modern radio and nice interior. Not a show car type restore.

We will blog at 65 chevy blog


And I will leave the political comments on this blog.
