New resto pics!
Since I put the truck up for sale, I've had some questions about the restoration process. My Uncle sent me the pictures he thought he gave me when he gave me the truck, so I scanned them in to my web album.
I thought this group would appreciate seeing the pictures from old to now. I tried to figure out the order the best I could, (even though they are after the finished product)!
Enjoy, and comments are welome!

Can't believe it - the brown ugly thing is a Chevy Greenbrier - the first motor I ever rebuild was one of those, back in 1966 or so, with my dad. We then drove it clear across the country, from San Diego, to Wisconsin, then Florida and back. Lot of fun, in that old beast...
Not mine, but it looked like this, but green...

That's very nice of him, and I understand totally. Especially if the truck isn't your "cup of tea". Not everyone likes trucks, even great, old trucks. Like me, I absolutely abhor Corvettes (well, except the '63 split window), but many people do like them a lot. You are receiving help in an unexpected, unusual way, and someone will get a great truck! Best of luck to you, and your wife!!
