Finally done
I finally finished my Dads 'Old Red'. My Dad bought this truck new in April of 63. It spent its life on the farm and was the first thing I ever drove. The restoration took me one year. I did all the work except the seat. Hopefully more pics to come, but I delivered it back to him last weekend and haven't seen it since.
Check out the pics that I have.

Thanks for all the great responses. He always was proud of that truck. You couldn't get the smile off his face last weekend when I delivered it. It was a lot of work, but well worth it.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

The fronts may be old Goodyears, I can't recall. They've been on there a looong time. The rears were put on about '87 from the local co-op. I remember that because thats when I drove it to high school.
The hood lip was in pretty good shape, a little bit of rust, but not too bad. hardest part of the hood was the kink one us kids put in it from sitting on it in our younger years.
