Shop Truck Heaven is born!
As a lot of you know, I have been flipping back and forth between what shop truck door logo to use on my '69 C/10 and I thought why not build a website dedicated to shop trucks, and make it the official shop truck for the website dedicated to shop trucks! So I guess that's the plan. I have lot of 67-72 shop trucks on file, but I want any that I can get, especially other year models. I know a lot of you are pic hounds like I am, so if you have any post 'em here or shoot them to shoptruckheaven@yahoo.com
The website is very basic and cheesy at this point, but at least it is up. I am just using one of the templates, but I am working on logos, headers and graphics for the site. I just thought about this today at my in-laws for Memorial Day lunch, so if it seems rushed and thrown together, well, it is! Any ideas, thoughts, and suggestions ae welcomed. I'm planning on covering the patina trucks and rat rods to some extent as well, but I want the main focus to door logo'd trucks. www.shoptruckheaven.com

Re: Shop Truck Heaven is born!
Here's an idea of the page layout as well. I'm going to start with pictures pages catagorized as 20's - 30's, 40's - 50's, and 60's - 70's and probably a Rat page. If I get enough pics and response to the site, I may break them down to Chevy, Ford, etc.

Re: Shop Truck Heaven is born!
Here's a couple pics of an old Dodge truck I ran across. Check out the three digit phone number on the door.
P.S. The offer still stands about hosting the site for you. You will just need to host the pictures on photobucket or something like that.

Re: Shop Truck Heaven is born!
Yes, GoDaddy webhosting sucks out loud!
I am going to tranfer it to another hosting service, just been real busy. I own a pool business along with my regular job, and up to the 4th weekend, the pool business is very hectic! It tapers off after all the July 4th parties, so hopefully I can jump back on it soon. I have been steadily collecting pics though (your's included) I have over 100 so far. I have also been trying to decide how I want my door logo to look on my blue '69 C-10. I'm open for suggestions and/or photoshops if anybody feels froggy! I still want more pics though, so post 'em, if you got 'em!

Re: Shop Truck Heaven is born!
I have been practicing though! The second door (Uncle's) turned out much better than the first.
