Rad Rides by TROY (1972)

In case no one has checked lately, there are some updated pics of this truck at the website:
http://www.radrides.com/projects.php?cursec=10&timg=1

In checking it out this last time, I'd not orginally noticed the smooth (no bolts) rear bumper. I've seen these for the front before. Anyone know who makes them?

Maybe one day we'll see this one and Copperhead featured together.

I LOVE the fact that they did a long bed. The truck looks great....very clean, smooth, shaved, but not too hacked up like too many customs are.

It was at Goodguys Texas show. I got to see it pulling out for a photo shoot and it never returned while I was there. I was disapointed not to get to check it out.I admired that smooth rear bumper as it was leaving.

what material did he use for this?

This looks like it might be pretty easy, any thoughts or suggestions on these...., Is that just foam insulation?

i worked at a boat factory for a few years and we made alot of stuff like that. it`s just basically "great stuff" foam sanded/contoured to shape and coated with resin/catalyst. the best way is to lay some woven fiberglass over it and a layer of mat fiberglass soaked in resin and let it cure. when resin and catalyst "kick" or cures it tends to get really hot, but you will get awesome results and it is really easy.

I have pics here somewhere of a purple truck from Arizona/Texas and it had smooth bumpers front and back. Maybe they are each custom made. Yeah, nice that this one is a longbed for sure!

Hell, I know a poor fireman (me) in Weatherford Texas that does that. It's not just for the gold chainer type of guys.
