From Kyle:

          Hi. I am 14 and here is my truck, a 1966 GMC. It has a 250 6 out of a mid '70s Camaro. It has a 3 speed standard that has been converted to a floor shift. I have bought new fenders, rockers, cab supports, cab corners, floors front and rear. (Let's just say that I have every patch panel available for the cab.) The seat is out of a 1995 Chevy truck and only two holes need to be drilled for it to bolt right in.

          This is going to be a Father-son project for my Dad and I. As you can see, the rust on both doors has been patched by my Dad and he has also done a great job of priming the doors (this is his first time too). This spring I am hoping to learn how to weld so I can help with the body work.

          I have been into cars my whole life and when I was seven my Dad promised me that when I turned 14, I could buy an old car. Well, I managed to talk him into letting me buy a vehicle when I was 13 and this is what I got for $450.

Thanks,

Kyle Carter
