1964 Chevy Pickup Restore begins...

Found it in a horse pasture in Tennessee in the summer of 2007. Here's how it looked on our property in Tennessee. We've been looking for a pickup to restore so here we go. It's a 1964 Chevy Pickup longbox 1/2 ton. It has a 327 4BBL with a 3 speed standard transmission. Ran good but had lower end noise in the engine.

The elbow grease is worth it! Look at that shine!

One of our winter projects included polishing this nice Caravel. It looks small but seems huge when polishing. Check out the next post for the beautiful results.

It cleaned up well in the inside after many years as a hunter's camper. Replaced ceiling covering with good old fashioned contact paper. Blends well with fold down bunks above dinette and couch.

Tongue Coupler

This is the 60 tradewind we have been working on for a customer. Here are shots of the old tongue coupler. We replaced the old 2" with a 2 5/16" coupler. See how nice the new coupler looks.
