last weekend while at the roundup i was staying with a buddy who loves his 66. another "ol'blue". he wants this truck to be dealership fresh and we took on the challenge. its already a sweet fully optioned truck that will need only minor mechanicals and the full cosmetic treatment.
this weekend we got the bed and clip off and started planning the changes necessary to build exactly what he wants. so, heres the beginning... |
Re: tuba trucks
Very Nice!!! :mm:

ok, so, today i visited my favorite junk yard and made the mother of all salvage runs. there was this old military bus, army i think, like a large school bus, that was packed full of truck parts. i struck a deal with the owner and started hauling it off. could only make 2 trips today as it was pretty far from home but here is a tease of the score... i think there is around 40 grills and probably 2 or 3 more trips of assorted parts. |

Question is, how to fit a couple into your baggage. I am sure this was not as easy as Clem makes it out to be. A lot of hard work goes into getting to he point where he is now with his yard. Well do e Clem!!! Thanks to guys like you, armchair mechanics around the world can possibly progress past certain dead end spots in builds. |
Re: tuba trucks
That makes me want to come out to your place with fat pockets.

Re: tuba trucks
Dude!
You are simply outa-control!!! |

Re: tuba trucks
Thanks clem I would love a 60-61 twin headlight grill . I think we can bring one home on the plane if it's in a ski bag . Rian plans to bring his mouldings home in one . We are going to look really strange in shorts and ski bags on the way home . I don't think there is snow that time of year .

Re: tuba trucks
Looks like a few of your 4 headlight grilles are missing the headlight rings, I just happen to have a set that I am fixing to throw away because I will never build a 4 headlight truck.

Re: tuba trucks
sure do... bring 'em over saturday.
did we get caps for cotton? if so, that doubles the reason for a beer... |
Re: tuba trucks
I havent had a chance to call or go by and talk to the guy on the hub caps again. I will squeeze it in soon, I promise :-)

sunday afternoon my girl and i took a trip out into the wilderness. we were in search of a utility bed truck that was in decent shape. many miles later we happened upon the place only to learn that decent means different things to different folks. plus it wasn't a true utility bed, just a step-side half ton with some boxes bolted to the sides. kind of homemade and not well done. we looked around the property and found some cool old cars as well as a couple of trucks but really nothing i wanted to drag home... especially since they had submerged to the axles with trees growing all around.
live and learn... at least he was a nice guy. |
Re: tuba trucks
well, I hope it was at least a nice drive ! LOL
|
Re: tuba trucks
Cool Pics :mm:

Re: tuba trucks
Clem I hope you kept the destinations of some of these great places so me and Rian can take a look when we are over

Re: tuba trucks
Just noticed spell checker turned atmospheric in to something including heroic
I think that has to be good, looking at the forensic story a truck tells. May give you a ring later on. |

Re: tuba trucks
Looks like a big time!

Re: tuba trucks
Looking forward to "helping" but more importantly, learning from your boss Clem.
Feeling privileged, even before landing there. |
Re: tuba trucks
Really looking forward to this. Even though it must be the furthest I have traveled to a show 4500 miles in fact I am sure it'll be worth it though . Best of all will be getting to meet the guys who's build threads we've been following for the inspiration for our builds,and to top it all off what way to celebrate my 50th birthday

Even better, was speaking to Kim while you sorted the boys out...... She will be wearing a hat when we boil the shrimp, and I will be the guy in the "Straight Jacket" Really good to chat to the two of you. Quote:
I will call you later mate, to discuss New Orleans and the Blues. As well as the French Quarter. ;) |
Re: tuba trucks
Praying I can make it this year. I still need to call you Clem. I've been taking care of family and trying to keep up with the rest.
