Another nice old truck is rolling out. The dark green 65 has been completed and is heading back to Georgia. We spent a good amount of time on fit and finish because of the fabrication required but all in all, this truck has become a favorite. The owner had the chassis done with 4 wheel disc brakes, the stock 230-6 was freshened up as was the trans. All we did was put her together and detail all the components. Enjoy your truck Ky, she is one of a kind.

Here is a few more pics of Ky's truck. Soon to be cruisin' the roads in and around Atlanta. We love the 63 grill and the interior color Ky selected plus the 'Elroy' name in the dash cluster. This truck is the meaning behind a family heirloom... happy motoring my friend.

Re: tuba trucks
That is a Green truck!
I don't know the paint code for Hunter Green but that sure seems very close. Ky will be smiling a lot driving that truck for sure. Thanks for the update. |
Re: tuba trucks
Beautiful truck! Those colors look great together and that green paint looks DEEP! Another winner from your shop!

Re: tuba trucks
You wouldn't happen to have any before pics of these trucks you guys finish, would you? That might be fun to see.

Sorry, we don't usually do pics of the trucks when they first get here unless our customer requests some sort of scrapbook on the build. A few have and we used to do it but now the build pics are only to show problems and the processes it takes to repair them. See page 29, there is some cab work on Ky's truck. Most of the finished truck pics you guys see on the forum are for the owners insurance purposes and of course, to help promote our shop. |
Re: tuba trucks
Truck looks great. The grille looks incredible all shined up.

Re: tuba trucks
I can't wait to see this truck in person! Makes me want to fully restore my 63 back to the original 505!

Re: tuba trucks
It's time for this old dog to retire.
Tuba Trucks is officially for sale. The sale includes property, structures, tools and shop vehicles. There are 3 existing restoration projects in progress that will continue as well as list of vehicles waiting to begin. So, this is an active business with a living space and immediate income. It is set-up to build trucks but could easily convert to hot rods or muscle cars. We are announcing it here first because someone on the forum could be a likely buyer. For more info contact me through this forum's messaging. Serious inquiries only, please. |

Re: tuba trucks
I agree, congratulations on your retirement and yes, it is sad that we will not see any more great trucks from you

Re: tuba trucks
Well, that is a surprise. I am so happy for you retiring. It's a tough job but someone's got to do it. I highly recommend it. Have you got any plans for the future? I've been following your page forever and i will miss the beautiful trucks you have built. They have given me a lot of inspiration through the years Good luck my friend.

Re: tuba trucks
Yes, your truck updates will be sorely missed, for sure. I'm a ways off from retirement but I'm sure it's a good feeling and hope you enjoy it and will still grace us with your presence every once in a while.
