We've got some stickers coming about midweek and I will send them out to you guys that wanted them. The tina truck got her carpet yesterday and scottybob did a fine job, front alinement tomorrow and a few other details this week and she'll be ready to go... hopefully.
but this morning a few old truck parts were delivered. A buddy in Little Rock and I struck a deal on them and he brought up a trailer load. This load was 50's stuff and there is 2 more loads coming. Then a couple of loads of 60's stuff... geez, I need a bigger place. So soon, when its all separated and organized I will figure out what to do with it all... Bomp, I need your help, please... |

Back on page 7 is a farm truck named 'Maude'. This much loved truck was a challenge because of the modest budget and big expectations. Sometimes we have to put our restoration mentality on hold and figure out how to build safe, dependable and reasonably good looking trucks without breaking the budget. Maude is the experiment to do that.
The original cab was the first consideration, everything was bent, rusted and in such bad condition, no way could it be brought back without tons of hours. So, we swapped in another cab. Still needing inner and outer rockers and cab corners plus rear braces, it was at least a lot closer. We did sub in Maude's original dash and used bits and pieces from her floors... check out the seatbelt extensions in the original cab. |

Maude's chassis was one area where we did a lot of work. All new steering, suspension and disc brakes were done. We freshened up the 305 V8 and had the tranny shop rebuild a 700R.
Today the bottom of the cab will be solvent washed and sprayed with bedliner. The bodywork on the doors is well underway so the progress on Maude keeps the owner happy and us busy. |
Re: tuba trucks
Wow ,Maude is looking great .

Re: tuba trucks
Looks super clean , as expected ! Nicely done

Re: tuba trucks
Ta2Don and I often share our trips around America and England with photos, or if we see interesting trucks and cars, via Whatsapp or iPhone messages.

Re: tuba trucks
Man that is going to be one lucky guy to be able to cruise that fine rig whenever he wants. Very nicely done my friend.

Re: tuba trucks
Looks fantastic Clem, Michael made a wise choice. I'll post some pictures (if Michael doesn't first) once it arrives on this side of the "pond"

Re: tuba trucks
These update photos just make me smile widely Clem.
Now we just need Kim to make a small video on her iPhone and then to send the video over to me, and I will upload it for you onto YouTube. Unless Pete has a YouTube account already. That will surely make the rest of us spectators smile madly. I believe the new owner will be wayyyy over the moon. |
Re: tuba trucks
Hey guys, Pete here, finally making an appearance! Check me out on FB for a walk around and start up video of 'Tina.

Last weekend was the annual trek to Austin. The absolute best car (and truck) show we get to go to. Great pre 63 event with the best music, food and rides as well as a killer swap meet. 4 days of big fun...
Took lots of pics but it will take a few days to get them loaded up. The coolest truck thing happening is all the big trucks. Pete and I are gathering parts to build a 58 big window COE Viking and this show had a bunch of COEs. Pics... |
