Check out the link above for some alternative thinking from this side of he pond Clem.

I love COE trucks, just a bit big for my property.

Thanks for posting, looking forward to the rest of your report and pics.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Hey James, you are probably right about the 58 not being called a COE. Maybe a Snubnose or Shorty or just Viking, don't really know but I sure dig it...

Pics...

Re: tuba trucks
 

Spending way too much time on here, just done with class for the day. Passed tests this week, one more day tomorrow.

That truck is just butt ugleeeee..... Clem and that would be why I love it.

Back window is gorgeous.


Call it what you like.

Re: tuba trucks
 

I love the look of the Big Trucks!!!! Thanks for sharing

Re: tuba trucks
 

I would just call it COOL and leave it at that and I love them COE trucks .

Re: tuba trucks
 

I know, for some reason I love the big trucks too. Theres nothing practical about them, loud, uncomfortable and just weird looking... hmmm, sort of like me.

Today was a red sky morning, so to represent...heres Grizz's favorite color.

Re: tuba trucks
 

The Lonestar Roundup always has cars and trucks with great paint work and these 2 golden ones stood out to me. Sorry about the Ford but rumor has it that Gene Winfield, the king of blends and fades, painted it.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Thanks for sharing the pic's.Very neat to see all in one place.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Here's a batch of cool trucks from the Roundup. The entry rule is everything has to be 1963 or older to qualify but as with the HAMB they allow a similar body style to register... and we all know that 63 and 66 are sort of similar.:lol:

Re: tuba trucks
 

Would have loved to be at the Roundup.

Of course they are the same.....;)

Re: tuba trucks
 

Thanx for sharing the Awesome Pics...:metal:

Have a great weekend Clem!!! :mm:

Re: tuba trucks
 

Looking good Clem. I just drove past your shop and thought about the big time last year at the gathering. I hope I can make it again this year.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Great pics, feelin' all kinds of envy right about now.

So,,,, you going to have that '58 Viking at the shop soon? Gotta name for it? Looks like a Todd to me. My 2cents.

Re: tuba trucks
 

or maybe TOAD = short stout body

Re: tuba trucks
 

Love the big trucks, really cool! That red truck has the same hood treatment as member bumwine's truck. Looks good.

Re: tuba trucks

Re: tuba trucks
 

Here is a hint

Re: tuba trucks
 

Someone needs to rotate my pics. Lol

Re: tuba trucks

Re: tuba trucks
 

Thanks Bill

Re: tuba trucks

Re: tuba trucks
 

You never know who is watching you. Haha. Thanks for the invite I might just do that sometime. My oldest boy and his family just moved to Fayetteville and I was driving over to his new place and low and behold there was your shop. I have been busy helping them get settled in or I would have stopped. I will be visiting my grand babies a lot so I will give you a shout.

Truck trucks & trucks with cool Fellas to go with'em. Good eye dw
Meanwhile Im sitting on the couch sick.
Way to get after it Clem.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Yea but did you notice the f##d in the driveway. Clem was working the way I like to. In a chair. Lol

Re: tuba trucks
 

scrapey scrape... always disliked those wide plastic door guards on that truck. so, now they're gone. Definitely a sit down kinda job. Dang Donnie, you got the eye...:lol:

And the ferd, yeah, I apologize for that one, not giving up our loyalties, just running a business. Its weird... but theres 4 ferds on the property right now. Makes me a little queasy just thinkin' about it.

Sir Bomb, speaking of queasy, hope you're feeling better. Get well quick my friend.

Re: tuba trucks
 

Saw that pic of 'Tina on FB earlier.

Any idea of time frame and route she will be travelling Clem?

Re: tuba trucks
 

Clem,
Did you ever use one of the 3M rubber wheels that you put into a die-grinder
to remove the rubber tape & adhesive? It makes child's play out of that job...
The one that i used was for high-speed but didn't even mark the paint!!!

Re: tuba trucks
 

I think it will head out next week, hopefully. The route is truck to Florida and into a container. Then take a big boat to England. Not sure about the timing but I bet Michael is ready to drive her.

Yeah, I tried the wheel but the adhesive would just smear out and spread the mess around. This stuff was thick and sticky. Thinner and a plastic razor blade seemed to work best.

So Pete and I have been busting out this blue and white long bed. Its a factory air, PS PB, big window for a buddy in Austin. Doing a frame up with a few added upgrades... retractable shoulder belts, 700R, 3-4 static drop, front disc and a built '67 327. Were hoping to have it finished early this fall but as my wife Kim is famous for saying, "we'll see what happens".

Re: tuba trucks
 

Another Amazing Creation!:metal:

Re: tuba trucks
 

I love me some baby blue and white!

Re: tuba trucks
 

X2 Looks fantastic already, can't wait to see it finished

Re: tuba trucks
 

When I was over last year , and we went up to see your little stash of C10s, with the rate you are going turning out great trucks ,you'll have to retire soon (oh yeh you did that already ) you might have too restock or you'll have then all done in a year or two . Love the baby blue and white combination. Wish I was coming this year , but you never know I might do 2017 .

Re: tuba trucks
 

Amazing color!!

Re: tuba trucks
 

Tuba Trucks doing what Tuba Trucks does best.

Looking great Clem and team.


I really like the engine shots as well.

Re: tuba trucks
 

This is definitely one of my favorite threads. You do an amazing job!

Re: tuba trucks
 

thanks a bunch Don

we might have some of that paint left to throw on your truck… missed hanging out at the red fern, it was a good turnout after the weather cleared.

thank you man...

Kim and i wish you were coming too Martin but don't worry, we'll re-up the C-10 stash as we go through it...

We've got a good paint team from our local O'rielly's store… all Dupont. Though it does look a little more washed out than it really is thanks to the bright sunshine

thanks Rian. We've added a new member to the team, Daniel, a very good metal fab and body man as well as a quality painter. He's really upping our game.
the motor, thats all Pete...

we appreciate that…

Got a shot of Cotton and his truck from the Red Fern car show in Tahlequah OK
last Saturday. He took home the trophy for best original truck. Congrats Cotton.

Also a shot of Donnie Johnson's truck "The Buff" which took best of show… WooHoo Donnie…
