Dinos63 · 05-28-2011, 09:14 PM

I am not sure how many of these 60-66 trucks i have bought ,sold,traded or owned but i do know this is my first complete custom truck . i have had tons of cabs , beds or parts trucks but never a complete running driving truck and thanks to delmo i have a very nice one!! check this out i sold my lil heard off on wednesday. delmo sent me some pics thursday of this truck he bought for a guy and he was going to 'delmotize' it(my new werd ) and the duude switched plans or something sooo the truck came up for grabs. friday around 9:05 am CA time i called del and we made the deal ( killer deal thanks again del)I told del we could work it out in the next month or so to meet up and get the truck, I hung up the phone and called my buddy mike (also a member "newagecustoms")mike has a transport biz and asked what he was doing.He tells me hes in LA dropping off a car. the time 9:10 (wow) i asked mike if he could call delmo and see how close he was and if he could pick up my truck. mike was 9 miles from del and within 1/2 hour or so my new c/10 custom was heading to phoenix !! car karma

That is a sexy little truck and what a cool story!

**lolife99** · 05-28-2011, 09:42 PM

That is a vision of beauty!
What's the "big picture" plan?

72BlckButy · 05-28-2011, 09:49 PM

Awesome... subscribed for this one!

Here it was 30 min after he called me at Delmos place. The Roadrunner got dropped off at the LA docks and is getting shipped to New Zealand.

Dinos63 · 05-29-2011, 02:12 AM

and aline lock for sure for now i will leave it patina but i want to pant this one maybe the same color or white maybe black , this was the rear of my 63 nova i loved it going for the over kill for sure

**lolife99** · 05-29-2011, 02:17 AM

How about 22x8.5's and 24x15's layin flat?
A set of 405/25-24's would look killer under those rear bedsides!!!

Hey joedoh, you can get one like it. If you find one it's only a phone call away and it would be on a trailer heading your way.

greg65 · 05-29-2011, 08:08 AM

Dino, this is the color combo I picked out for my truck so can't wait to see how it turns out. The 383 will be nice but how about a small block 427 or 434? Bigger is always better.

LeftCoast32 · 05-29-2011, 09:30 AM

That is a clean truck! Seems Delmo has a habit of finding some nice original trucks up there. Look forward to watching the build.
