A truck build thread on a bowhuntin site?
Probably not the best spot for it, but my son Cody has been around TBH since I have and we bought his truck from Tuffbroadhead (Dale Love) here off the Green Screen. So....I figured why not?
I cant find the original thread or pix of this truck, when Dale first put it up for sale, but any how.....we bought a 1966 Chevy Short/Fleet, 2WD pick-up with a 327 in it.
Sherry and I drove up to Keller, stayed with Chicken and Moser, and then went to Weatherford to buy the truck from Dale Love. Cody couldnt make the trip, because he was at Texas A&M Soccer Camp at the time. Other than loosin an alternator in Clint's Ford, it was a good trip! We even got to go watch Rod Slack race his IMCA Modified at Boyd.
Oncet we got the truck home, we put it in my buddy's shop and started to tear it apart. I quickly realized that this was gonna go from a tune-up.....to a major over-haul!
It seemed like every bolt that I put a wrench on would twist in half. The motor, transmission, rearend and all the brakes needed rebuilt.....it was a mess!
One night Sherry came to me and asked what it would take to make the truck a 4x4. I thought for a few minutes and told her that it mite be cheaper and would certainly be easier!
So...I got on the Green Screen and found me a donor 4x4. Cody was excited!
Djs hooked me up with Doekiller and I bought a rusted out lease truck for nexta nuttin.
