Well a little about me I have never restored a truck, I do restore classic boats, but I want me a nice old truck to go with my nice old boat so I joined this site not to only help me figure out what truck I want but how to proceed from there. And I am sure it cant be much different from restoring boats
Lots of body work then more body work when you think you are almost done start over, Then the Engine add a tranny one thing boats don't have, Interior, electronics, then double check and see what I missed?
Anyways bare with me as i may not be as familiar with this stuff but ill catch on fast.
Im hopeng to find something from the 62 time frame as my boats a 62 and also have a 63

Actually there are a lot of early 60's truck owners around here. There should be some for sale in the swap meet, just click on forums and scroll down. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 75 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 75 | http://forums.iboats.com/member.php?u=12201LOL no that's not my style but I've seen the ones Your referring to if you want to see a pic of my boat The link above is the boating forum I frequent and that's my user page has a pic of my boat.

Every once in a while they have antique boat parades, some nice stuff for sure. When I moved off the lake, I sold my boats, still have the canoe. | | | | | Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 346 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2006 Posts: 346 | Welcome to the Stovebolt, Terry.  Finding an early '60 truck to pull your boat would be pretty cool. Shouldn't be to hard to find one I wouldn't think. Good luck with finding one.
