Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
 

I dont say this to guys much but..... 'nice rear end'..... :lol:

That Mosier is gonna be nice! Engine sounds great, looks even better.

keep it going!

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
 

That's cool I was between 61 or 62 went with the 62. Originally Scotts sold me a 58 which is too short without tubs but Justin is exchanging it for a 62. Same as yours very nice quality product

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
 

Just read your build. I never thought about how hard it is to build a vehicle outside its country of origin. Good thing you travel to the US a lot so you can get parts. You could start a side business picking up parts for ppl in Holland lol. Very nice job.

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
 

Thanks,, hope to have it on the road soon....

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
 

With my wheels, and the ofset I was at 61"
It fits perfect.
To bad al this is under the Floor,Nice quality stuff..

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
 

Thanks Lower50's
It cost A lot more cash if you build a car or truck in another country.
I am lucky indeed,that I can take home a lot of parts, But I Will be happy when The truck is finisht,
Your truck sounds real good, like your build, like the diesel, keep up the good work

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
 

And I'm in, want to see this beauty when finished.
amazing looking truck, lots of cool stuff and definitely an inspiration.

When I was young, I worked on the racebike of my neighbour, he raced Superbike 1000 cc 4-stroke in the early 80's. That were great times!!
Goodluck this weekend!!
Stay save!

Re: Chevy 51" original Texas truck,,now in Holland
