3rd Place
 

Street Magazine (A German Magazine) had a 3 day show not too far from here from Friday til Sunday.
I drove there yesterday and decided to enter mine in the "Best of 60´s (Original)" part of the contest. Later we drove back home.
This morning I had a wierd feeling that I should go back and see who wins all the trophys.
As soon as we got there my friend said he could have sworn that they called my name. I said I would check later.
After a while I went up and asked the guy how my truck did, he checked the list and told me to go get my truck over there as quick as possible.
I drove up there and he told me I won 3rd place.

The first picture was yesterday when they checked the truck out and the second is from when I got her back to the shop.

Good job! I like that color yellow; clean ole truck!!!

Re: 3rd Place
 

Thanks!
I had the only truck there between 67 and 72 but there were alot of nice cars from the 60´s and didn´t think I had a chance.
As soon as I get my pictures online I will put a link up.

Re: 3rd Place
 

I know what you mean. I took my 72 to the Brothers truck show last year. There must have been 4-500 trucks there, and I was shocked to win the daily driver trophy. The staff and magazine editors at Classic Trucks magazine really liked my ride. I was stoked, and am going back again this year! You have a very nice truck there too!

Re: 3rd Place
 

Congrats on the win! It sure makes all the money/time/effort worth it.

Thanks again!
money, time, effort, blood, sweat, and tears.
All of the above. Blood and tears came at just about the same time. I slipped trying to get the Caps off the A-Arms. I thought I busted my hand but I just ripped off a little skin. Other than that I was careful.

I finally got my Pictures up. Check them out Here

Congrats! Looks like you deserve it:D

Re: 3rd Place
 

Thanks again!

Re: 3rd Place
 

Congrats on your 3rd place win. You have a fine looking truck. You know, if we were the judges - you would have won 1st place.

Re: 3rd Place
 

EXCELLENT!!!!!!! Nice '68...my favorite year. You should have gotten 1st place! You need some '68 hub caps for that truck!

Re: 3rd Place
 

I followed your build when you were here in the States buying it, then shipping it and after it arrived in Deutchland....the disassembly and restoration.

Nice job. Congratulations!!

Re: 3rd Place
 

Thanks for keeping an eye on it so long. I´m wondering how many people were checking it when I was restoring it.
One of these days I will get to updating it with all the crap I went through last year. That will be page 9.

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations Sean,

It must have been a great feeling when he told you that won third place, makes it worth every hour spent on the truck. Your truck really turned out nice.

I am hoping something like that will happend to me when I go to the Power Big Meet in Vasteras, Sweden next weekend.

Re: 3rd Place
 

Long time no hear Mats!

Thanks for the congratulations.
We were planning on going up to Västerås too but we didn´t get enough people together. The long drive scared a couple of them away.
We were going to go up in a VW bus and check it out and maybe take our cars and truck up there next year.
I wish you luck if you enter your truck up there!

Take lots of pictures! I love pictures.

@ estig70 - Thanks for the congrats!

Re: 3rd Place
 

I hope you will make it to Västerås sometime, it would be cool to meet some board members there.

Re: 3rd Place
 

Nice going, congrats!
