Well after almost 4 months of restoring someone elses mistakes and goofs, mismatched parts, faulty mechanics, and poorly executed attempt at making a road hugging hotrod.................I got it all finished!!
Enjoy the first round of pics.

That 2 tone "dreamcycle" like paint looks damn good !

buckskins4ever · 04-08-2013, 11:55 PM

Thanks guys..it has been a lot of money and long hours working on it to get it just right.
I had to take pics for the new Haggerty policy...so went to the High School to get permission to do the photo shoot behind the center field wall of the baseball field.........and it they turned out perfect. So good I think I had over 60 kids stopping to watch me take pics of it.

We are trying to find a place to start a new truck night here in town. Hopefully somewhere in Altoona, Pleasant Hill, or Ankeny

Scott>72-GMC · 04-09-2013, 12:38 AM

Ankeny is a heck of a lot closer to me. Would love to throw a grill out here but I'm in the middle of nowhere lol probly have two or three show up

LOl....If you grill it, they will come!!

**Hart_Rod** · 04-09-2013, 08:52 AM

Great job! I love the cab lights!

72smoker · 04-09-2013, 09:31 AM

Great looking truck, love the interior! I don't think we are ever truly "finished" with these trucks though. I got mine done less than six month ago and still am changing things.

luvbowties · 04-09-2013, 09:36 AM

Great job, 'buck'. Unbelievable, and for just 4 months too! ...and yours has a distinction most of our trucks lack: it's the 1st one I've heard of that was actually f-i-n-i-s-h-e-d! Until now, I have always thought all our trucks were perpetual-modding projects, regardless.

Keep up the good work; and when you get tired of those seats, put me in line: they look as comfy as any I've seen.

doubleb's69 · 04-09-2013, 11:58 AM

Looking awesome! The coolest part about it is that this is a true "driver". I see this thing all over the place no matter what the weather. Hats off.

Husker_Fan · 04-09-2013, 01:20 PM

Awesome work done in such a short time.

Husker · 04-09-2013, 01:51 PM
