Dave, I've been watching this transformation from the beginning, that pickup is UBER!
And 1977 was a great year for mankind, Elvis may have died but I was born...

Great looking truck, Dave. I couldn't help but smile when I read your post about rolling into town and being surrounded by Nathan's friends.
You have a right to an immense amount of pride in this project, and no doubt satisfaction in time well spent with your son.
You are a good Dad.

I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Dave, not only is your work amazing but the fact that you still have time to keep the crowd here posted on what you are doing is more than amazing!
Thank you

Damn good looking truck, and not just the paint although that looks to be outstanding! But it's a car guy's eye that really counts. Cab lights or not, size and type of wheels and tires, mud flaps yes or no.....there always was the cool guys and the wannabes and there always will be. My guess junior already is cool and it's because he's a chip off the Northern Dave block!
Now to keep those seats clean come prom time...... 😬

All it needs now is a tweak here and there and a bumper sticker that says "No fat girls or Democrats". +1 on the democrats, but fat girls? Come on its a 3/4 ton...

Beautiful Dave. Clean look; Gaudy crap on a truck is like waving a neon sign around that's advertising the owners lacking in other ways.

Absolutely fabulous job Dave. Nathan is very fortunate on more than a couple levels.

Thanks very much guys. We are going for about a 175 mile "shake down" today. Ain't that pretty. Your kids hit the lottery. They probably understand it to a point right now,...but when they're old people they'll understand it in a much more significant manner.

Beautiful job on this truck. You both did a great job and I hope you both enjoyed your time together doing it. This is a memory that will last you both a lifetime.
I think a sign in the back window "Lifted Because Fat Chicks Can't Jump" would look good on it. LOL.

Ya know, like a lot of folks I have a fancy new truck, but there is something straightforward and honest about a regular cab, 4x4 truck. And it's really nice to see one carefully restored.
