It was a great show with lots of very cool trucks.

Spblack · 05-25-2014, 10:25 PM

how was the show? got anymore pics?

pbeguy · 06-02-2014, 10:36 PM

A couple of pics I am proud of.
1. In my garage for the first time ever.
2. Here is my front cross member at full drop on the rockers.

Kim57 · 06-03-2014, 10:26 AM

Looks good in there.
Kim

pbeguy · 06-05-2014, 11:28 PM

My Buddy Wes stopped by to help me out today. I love his truck. It is simple and has a great look. Static drop with a 350/350 combo on 22" steelies. Just right.

Kim57 · 06-06-2014, 09:12 AM

Nice looking truck.
Kim

ChuckDriver · 06-06-2014, 04:39 PM

Very cool!

pbeguy · 06-10-2014, 11:04 PM

Goofing off today. Trying to set my proportioning valve.

Sounds great.
Kim

pbeguy · 07-05-2014, 04:38 PM

I found another project to go with my truck. I am keeping both.
It is a rust free 1959 El Camino that needs a lot of finish work.
I have always wanted a 2 door 59 Impala and this is close enough.
I did get the complete front end and lots more. Does this qualify as a truck...?

The front end has already been nosed like the black one, and the rear is welded up.
The guy threw in tons of parts and trim (and a rotisserie) . I am so happy.

Kim57 · 07-05-2014, 07:43 PM

That is one slick El Camino.
Kim

sqrlnts · 07-06-2014, 12:54 AM

Does it qualify, DOES IT QUALIFY? Are you kidding me? Its the pinnacle ELCO!!! congrats on your find. Is the last picture picture what your aiming for?

Yes, the black one is close to the goal. All the work was performed by others up to now. I have a few ideas that I want to incorporate.

Great build, really like your buddy's steelies and can't wait to see the build thread for the '59 El Camino.

Rednek13x · 07-26-2014, 08:51 AM

what brand steel wheels is your buddy running? And any updates on your truck? love the elky!

-hooch- · 10-01-2014, 12:40 PM

killer build thread. just read through the whole thing.

Two questions: with all those trucks you found with the bed trim, do you have any for sale? And, are you going to goodguys this weekend?

pbeguy · 10-01-2014, 10:03 PM

Thanks -hooch-.
I sold all the trim. I have not touched my truck in a while. I bought a house (with a freakin 3 car garage) and have been working solidly to get it ready to move in while getting my old house ready to sell. I am going to move it to my new house very soon.
