Re: tuba trucks
 

Looks really good. What bumper brackets did you use?

Re: tuba trucks
 

Real neat Clem.

As mentioned on FB, I LOVE that Tuba Trucks tailgate plate too.

Kind of signs off the project in a way.

Very impressed.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Wow, that looks great Clem!

Re: tuba trucks
 

Looks great Clem . The 67-72 rear bumper finishes the look off really well . That's why I have gone that route as well . Like I said on FB the badge looks nice and subtle . I guess you painted the badge to match the colour , or was it made to match the colour.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Clem, got to say, glad we went with 67/72 rear bumper and I love your subtle little logo badge it just finishes off the tailgate. Also back up lights converted to direction indicators exactly what I wanted. keep at it. Thanks

Re: tuba trucks
 

I want a tuba truck sticker.

Re: tuba trucks
 

I want one too ,it would be cool on my coffee table project .

Re: tuba trucks
 

Thanks guys, bit overwhelmed here. Makes me want to build another one of these hotrod trucks. Mainly because I want one myself.

To chevyjim... I want to do a green and white also. it is my favorite color for these trucks.

To Bomp... when Michael decided he wanted a 67-72 bumper we just ordered all the parts from LMC, right down to the hardware. I really like the look.

To the guys that liked the badge... that is a die-cast and chrome plated emblem that I had made from the company I used to work for. they are similar to what car dealers used back in the day. I fill the relief with body color to match the color of the trucks we build. The only way to get one is to have us build or paint your truck. Sorry but those little guys were expensive. but if some want a tubatrucks decal, I got 'em. send addresses, either pm me or email, clem@tubatrucks.com

Thanks a million guys. we're very close to completion on the tinatruck and we will post up pics again soon.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Well.........

Gotta say this man, you really do Rock !!

I will happily pay for and collect in person later in the year. :metal:

Re: tuba trucks
 

Too cool man! I didn't even notice the reverse lights were amber until uk54 mentioned it! Love the emblem too, cool little touch.

Re: tuba trucks
 

We've got some stickers coming about midweek and I will send them out to you guys that wanted them. The tina truck got her carpet yesterday and scottybob did a fine job, front alinement tomorrow and a few other details this week and she'll be ready to go... hopefully.

but this morning a few old truck parts were delivered. A buddy in Little Rock and I struck a deal on them and he brought up a trailer load. This load was 50's stuff and there is 2 more loads coming. Then a couple of loads of 60's stuff... geez, I need a bigger place. So soon, when its all separated and organized I will figure out what to do with it all... Bomp, I need your help, please...

Re: tuba trucks

This is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Contact will be made!

Re: tuba trucks
 

I see all kinds of treasure in there .

Re: tuba trucks
 

:agree:

Re: tuba trucks
 

Whoa! What a load of parts!...When I come down in the fall I will need to bring all of my left-over parts....May need to put a hitch on the truck! LOL!

Re: tuba trucks
 

Forget the parts man… I just wanna see that sweet true/blue baby of yours roll in here. That would be something!

Re: tuba trucks
 

Dude!
If I can get the gremlins worked-out & rack some miles, this will be a GO!!!
I am planning for it! I want to get my Heat/AC worked out though, it is kinda cold out here that time of year......Gotta make the tranny bulletproof!!!
The tranny is the only thing that I cannot rebuild myself.....

Re: tuba trucks
 

Back on page 7 is a farm truck named 'Maude'. This much loved truck was a challenge because of the modest budget and big expectations. Sometimes we have to put our restoration mentality on hold and figure out how to build safe, dependable and reasonably good looking trucks without breaking the budget. Maude is the experiment to do that.

The original cab was the first consideration, everything was bent, rusted and in such bad condition, no way could it be brought back without tons of hours. So, we swapped in another cab. Still needing inner and outer rockers and cab corners plus rear braces, it was at least a lot closer. We did sub in Maude's original dash and used bits and pieces from her floors... check out the seatbelt extensions in the original cab.
