Re: Question on 50th production numbers..
 

$500 ain't bad....has he sent you more pics of the bed??.....Have you decided on buying it??...Haven't seen any response in the thread??
I'd love to see the rest of your "junk"....and especially a quiet cruise in the farm truck.....you got 5 point belts in that thing?!?!!?:lol:

Re: Question on 50th production numbers..
 

have you shown the farm truck in here? I can't remember.

Re: Question on 50th production numbers..
 

Still haven't heard anhything on the bed. I'm sure I'll find one. If not, I'll eventually buy a new one. The farm truck only has lap belts in it.....:). They add to the fun, :lol:.

The original thread is here: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=344786 I'll start another thread when I get to FL and start the suspension update....

Re: Question on 50th production numbers..
 

oh, yeah.. that truck


I Love That Truck!

Re: Question on 50th production numbers..
 

Thanks!

I made a little more progress on the truck today. I think every "shop truck" needs a good sturdy bumper and nice set of loud mufflers, :). I got the bumper off of the 71 BB camper special that I parted out. It's uber sturdy and should hold up to a decent sized trailer. I also had an extra set of Flowmaster 40 series mufflers with an H-pipe and figured I'd see if they would fit. They bolted up like they were meant to be there, :lol:. If things go well, I will temporaily throw the motor/tranny in tomorrow for the trip back to P-Cola. They'll both have to be pulled and gone through once were moved, but that's gonna have to come later since I only have 13 days left.....:waah:.

Looks like those pipes were bent for that truck. Looking good man.

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

Looks good Rob....is the front clip there with you or back in FL?....How are you toting the truck back to FL???

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

The front clip is here (NM). I should have the motor/tranny set in today and then will start putting the front clip on.....:metal:. I'll be using a towbar or tow dolley.

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

13 days left! Hell Rob, you could build a truck and a house in 13 days. Your getting weak in your ol' age:lol::lol::lol:

Looks good - rw

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

looking good Rob!

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

it's getting closer and i see parts laying around.

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

:lol:, I think you might be right.....


Thanks Jesse. I haven't forgotten about your stuff. I'm not going to ship them until I get back to PCola, and if certain things work out, they may be personally delivered, ;).

That's the problem, to much stuff laying around instead of being put together, :waah:, :lol:.

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

I finally got the motor and transmission stabbed. That was a lot of fun doing it by myself.....:/. It kinda sucked putting a dirty motor in the nice frame but I didn't have much choice since I'm running out of time. Here's a couple of pictures.

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

Man Rob,

You should of rebuilt that thing before you put it back in there!!!LOL...8 days and counting....

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

:o.......

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

It is enough of a PITA just to move, I can only imagine trying to do it while putting a truck together at the same time!

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

I like the drama............:lol:. Plus there's nothing like a hard an fast deadline to get you motivated.

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

Hey Rob that thing is sweet, thanks for letting me kick the tires on it and crawl all around it!! I really could help you out on this deal, just leave it here and I'll take it, you know so you don't have to drag it home w/ya!! Seriously, now all I need to do is get the $$$!!

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

how's the front clip coming Rob?

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

He's gonna use the weight against his DITY (do it yourself) military move!

that truck will make you $1,000 just to tow it home Rob... but I would never condone that type of act...LOL

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

Just jumping aboard Rob, awesome progress in the time alotted. Keep at it!

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

I spent last night make sure all the mechanical stuff was tight and good to go. I should be putting sheet metal on this evening after the movers have finished loading everything up.

Unfortunately I will be towing this as dead weight, :(. I do have a "few" things loaded in my trailer though.......:lol:.

Thanks! One thing is for sure, 31 July I will be headed east regardless of what's left to do...:metal:.

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

7 days left.

Why are you moving Rob? Didn't you just move recently.

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

I moved here 2 years ago and my family moved here last year. We're moving back to Pensacola.

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

This really isn't progress, but they look cool. Check out the hub caps!:metal:

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

Umm..... I have suspected it for a while and well.... yea, you are crazy! :lol:

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

Lookin' good Rob, I am sorry to hear that you won't be able to meet up to sell me parts anymore. I am definitely going to miss the good parts you could deliver to me. Have a wonderful time back in Florida. Trevor

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

Thanks Trevor. I hope things are going well with you and your family. I still got that tailgate if you are interested, $100, I'll be going throug OKC on the 31st/1st. LMK.

Ask and you shall receive, here's some more pictures. I picked up a wooden floor SWB today. No rust but it does need some body work. It's just perfect for a shop truck....:D.

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

Truck looks good! I like the hubcaps too! It would look good lowered. The bed is nice. Anymore pics? Like inside bed and other side?

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

Now that's what I'm talkin' about!!!...Kinda looks like a 50th "cow edition"....LOL...Sure would love to hear it Mooooo.....hahaha

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

It's got a 2/4 drop. The front will come down some more as there's still about 300 - 400 more pounds of stuff that still need to be bolted on. Here's some more pictures.

I fixed the "cow" thing, :sexy:.

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

:clap:....sure looks nice as a fleet Short "White" Bed....:lol:

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

lookin good buddy. Make sure you bring alot of rust free parts with you when you come to the East coast. I sure could use a few. Cant wait to see it finished.

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
 

I want to see pics of it hooked up to the tow rig and maybe some action shots Too! When it's time to go. (dragging it down the road)

Bed looks good!

Re: "Gone in 60 days, project 50th BB Shop Truck "
