Crazy how god that looks.

Re: Frankentruck
 

just don't start wearing tinfoil hats..Lol

Re: Frankentruck
 

Yeah, I was impressed with how something so cheap and easy made such a big difference

Lol, now that would be a sight to see walking around campus

Re: Frankentruck
 

Left Frankentruck at home the past 3 weeks, but spring break started today, so I came home and got some work done.

Pulled the seat out to install the tool storage brackets and springs that I got from John (Johns_66). Thanks again John!
The long rod is for my Nissan spare tire carrier. The original tools were long gone before I got the truck, but I wanted the springs and brackets to store the stuff I do have.

I also looked over the seat and discovered that I have 0 broken springs :metal: I just need new foam and burlap to make it more comfortable again

Edit: Does anyone know a source for the standard seat foam?

Re: Frankentruck
 

Looking good Christian..this says standard seat foam, but shows the custom cab foam in the picture... Since you are close by you might take a look.

Re: Frankentruck
 

Glad it worked out well Christian...looks so good!!!!

Re: Frankentruck
 

Thanks, Andy. It says for a squarebody, but I'll take a look at it in person and see if it might fit

Re: Frankentruck
 

Thanks again John! It also gave me a good excuse to sweep out under the seat :lol: That old burlap and disintegrating foam sure did make a mess since the last time I pulled it out a couple years ago

Re: Frankentruck
 

Yesterday, I fired up Frankentruck for the first time in about 3 weeks. Still runs great with no issues. I should have posted this yesterday, but I ended up getting home late because I was hanging out with John Padgett (flashed) talking about trucks and life for several hours after the cruise-in ended. It was a great day
I took some videos of the truck, so I'll see about editing them a little and post them up to the youtubes. Then I'll post the link to them here

Re: Frankentruck
 

Today was also a day full of trucks and great times. My dad and I drove over to Robbie's home (GAc10boy) to film a segment for his YouTube channel Whitlock Garage. That was a great time and a lot of fun. Check out his channel if you haven't yet :metal:
Also got a fresh United By Trucks sticker to add to my collection on the back window. Thanks again Robbie!

After filming, my dad and I drove over to Cabela's to look at some snake boots for me because I want to do some turkey hunting at our deer camp in middle GA. As we were leaving, I spotted an old Cadillac with some neat patina. Turns out that it was the same body I had seen on Craigslist a while back, but the owner said it was so rusty that it was beyond repair. He took an old Crown Vic police interceptor and welded the Cadillac body panels on to it. It was cool to see that car still kinda on the road, because I saw the pics on craigslist, and it was extremely rusty

Re: Frankentruck
 

I just recently stumbled across the whitlock garage YouTube channel. Looking forward to seeing your truck on it.

Re: Frankentruck
 

Robbie has done a great job with the channel so far. I am excited to see where it goes from here

Re: Frankentruck
 

Threw together a quick video of stuff I filmed over the weekend. Hope y'all enjoy!

That caddy is kinda neat. Call it caddyhack. Lol. I’m going to check out the YouTube channel.

Re: Frankentruck
 

Lol, that's a good name for it. I'm not sure if the owners had a name for it or not

Re: Frankentruck
 

Good luck in TOTM...I just voted for you.

It's weird hearing myself on video :lol:

Re: Frankentruck
 

LOL...LOVE LOVE LOVE the Duct Tape!!!!

Re: Frankentruck
 

:lol: Thanks! The best part is that it is functional! :lol:

Re: Frankentruck
 

Digging your truck. I fully remember doing this to my '65 in high school and college. Just caught your truck on Whitlock Garage on youtube. Driving down the freeway without OD in an old farm truck, I know EXACTLY what you mean about not fun!

Re: Frankentruck
 

Thanks! I know for sure that I will never go back to a regular 3 speed. I will always put some sort of overdrive trans in whatever truck I build in the future

Re: Frankentruck
 

Congrats Christian on TOTM!!!!! Awesome!!!!

Re: Frankentruck
 

Thanks John!! Now my username matches the truck.. Green! :metal:

Re: Frankentruck
 

Congrats!

Re: Frankentruck
 

Congrats buddy, I am happy for you! I bet you fell out of your chair when the category for TOTM was shown! It was made for Frankentruck!

Re: Frankentruck
 

Thanks!


Thanks! I was not sure at first if my truck technically met the requirements. I for sure met the beat it to fit part :lol: but was not sure if I met the paint it to match part since the only stuff I have painted has been grille and tailgate letters and engine parts. Apparently it worked though :lol::ito::metal:

Re: Frankentruck
 

Congrats Christian!

Re: Frankentruck
 

Thanks!
