A pretty great offer,
now from Germany it would be a long way.
I wish you luck in your search for an employee who is passionate about what you do.

This 65 short-bed custom cab has left the building. It has a Blueprint 350 crate motor and a Tremec 5-speed connected to a 3:73 posi 12 bolt. A 4-5 static drop from springs and spindles plus a drop block. Vintage Air linked with factory AC vents and an original gauge cluster make this hotrod truck a pleasure to drive.
Congrats JB and happy motoring for many years from TubaTrucks.

Re: tuba trucks
 

A perfect combination for a fun truck to drive for many many years.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Good looking setup for sure. I would love to see a 5spd on the column conversion for some of these trucks with a nice bench seat. I'm sure it would make a lot of people do a double take.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Wow, you do some excellent work! I love your shop too.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Almost done on this 66 long-bed. Needs carpet and a little test driving, but that should be it. The engine is a Blueprint 383 with a healthy cam, 700R and posi 3:73 gears. Original light red paint with a grey metallic interior. This one is for a friend in Louisiana and soon he will be driving his dream. Happy Motoring Leon.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Very, very, very nice. Just like everything from your shop.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Thanks fellas, always appreciate the compliments.

After the green 65 and the red 66 were finished the next one up is the 58 Cameo. The crew here has done a great job bringing the Cameo restoration to a level that may be one of our best builds. This month the inner metal bed was painted contrasting dark blue along with the top and cab window surrounds. Then the bed and bed boards were installed. Next came the fiberglass bed sides and trim. At that point we knew this one was going to be special. Everything that was added after that just took this truck to another 'Oh Wow' moment. Heres some pics. Still a-ways to go but motivation is not a problem. Stay cool... heat exhaustion is real so take care and thanks again.

Re: tuba trucks
 

I will be over in early September to inspect your work.

Looking great as always Clem.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Loving the '58! Always so clean! Thanks for sharing the newest project.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Message me for more info or call and let's talk.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Another one has left the shop...
Leon and Regina have taken their 66 long-bed back to New Orleans. They are now part of the Tuba Trucks family and we will be connected for as long as they own and enjoy their truck. The guys here did a great job on this one. Happy motoring Leon and let her drive once in a while.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Beautiful work Clem.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Always love seeing updates to your thread. Thanks for sharing.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Appreciate the kind words.

Now that the Louisiana truck has gone home, we have space to work on a few others. The GMC carryall is in paint, The red and black 48 is back from hibernation and the 63 patina is occupying it's own shop. More pics later on those but first the 58 Cameo is ready to roll out.

Re: tuba trucks
 

The 1958 Chevrolet Cameo has left the shop. This rare two-tone color combo is powered by a second-gen Corvette 327 and a 700R4 overdrive trans. The guys here at Tuba Trucks did a fantastic job bringing this Cameo back to it's previous glory. Plus, we made some great friends in the process. It's really nice when one rolls out and everybody is happy.

Re: tuba trucks
 

A few more pics...

Re: tuba trucks
 

And the last batch...

Re: tuba trucks
 

I bet that truck gets it's picture taken a lot on the way home. Aloso some waves and thumbs up.

Do you ever see any of the GMC trucks from the mid to late 50's with Pontiac engines & trans? Those were rare too.

Thanks for a shop update, always enjoyable.

Re: tuba trucks
 

That Cameo is incredible. All these old trucks had such style to them. Great job!

Re: tuba trucks
 

Beautiful work as usual. The owners look very happy, as they should. What's next?

Re: tuba trucks
 

Beautiful, Clem. Beautiful!!!

:chevy::chevy::chevy:

Re: tuba trucks
 

Some very beautiful examples as always, Clem!

Re: tuba trucks
 

Happy to report that they have hit the show circuit and are doing really well. I haven't seen any of those Pontiac powered trucks but I have heard about them, how cool would that be.

Thanks, the styling of the older trucks is why we all love them.

Thanks, Tuba finally has a full crew of 5 like-minded guys. Next up is the 66 GMC Carryall.

Wow, Don & Mike... great hearing from you guys again.

The 66 Jimmy carryall is back in the shop. Metallic light green and cream on the outside and a warmer fawn and cream interior. We just completed the oak flooring in the back and all four of the sliding side windows. Don't know if any of you guys have attempted restoring those side windows but they sure are a challenge. Our usual glass company declined the job.
