Old Tile truck on the road

This is a new truck a friend of mine who just got it on the road after almost a year of hard work.. The truck came from someone in the family out of Nev. so it was pretty much rust free. His father was a tile setter when he was a young kid and so he made it like his father's truck (only nicer) with the same sign on the door. About the only thing i had to do with this one was to give him the front seat as the truck didn't come with one..

Re: Old Tile truck on the road

Looks great. Is it just me or does the bed wood picture make it look like the wood warps up in the front left? Is this just a bad angle of the picture?

Do you know if he is going to try and and the grill guard like his dad's truck had? I love those grill guards, actually just got myself one a few weeks back.

That is just flat nice all the way around. Well done Parkwood, that one is a winner.

Like the others said, nice!

Do you know if the door panels are custom to that truck or if they're something that is commercially available?

It's just the shadow from the cab.

I saw that too after i posted the pictures and no the wood was ok, it was just the way the light was hitting it.. the pictures came out a little darker than i would have liked.

Re: Old Tile truck on the road

Please share my congrats with your friend! Like his, mine (in my case it was my granddad, Carl) and others, it's fun to have a little something special that keeps the family history alive. Well done. -Doug

I'll be sure to pass this along to him.. I would love to have one of my dads trucks that he had when i was a kid but he was a ford guy then.. I remember him having a '49 and '52 which i drove when i first started to drive...
You have a nice truck and like you said nice to keep the family history alive..

Re: Old Tile truck on the road

Wayne-

About time you get back to working AD trucks...ha ha
This one looks nice. It was hard to tell in the pics, but is the color dark green? I really like this truck.

I like the interior. The exterior and interior was a good balance of old and new.

Thanks for sharing
Marc
