This hobby is a sickness... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

...You just can't stop going. Thanks to help here with wheels and whatnot, i got this whole setup together. The truck, trailer, and bike really do make a great rolling piece of art.

Just need to get that A/C fixed. And the front end lowered some. And i wanted a new shifter boot....It never does end i guess.

cortcomp · 04-20-2016, 08:06 PM

Couple more.

But, it's a good sickness that allows you to sleep well at night. Very nice work. You need to bring her to the Truck Nationals at Carlisle in August. I would love to see her in person.

Everything in those pics is just beautiful!

sampsmit000 · 04-20-2016, 10:47 PM

That is the coolest thing I think I have ever Seen!

**TJ's Chevy** · 04-20-2016, 11:52 PM

mark 66 · 04-21-2016, 05:56 AM

Nice rig

BFoley · 04-21-2016, 06:56 AM

That trailer is really cool. Is it a newer one with some older-style fenders and different/more wood added?

HotRod Junkie · 04-21-2016, 12:04 PM

Man that's nice! Great Work!!

ChrisDollins · 04-21-2016, 01:17 PM

Holy cow that setup is awesome!

A guy I knew in El Cajon, CA who built street rods named Norm Francis said that very same thing twenty some odd years ago to me - This is a sickness.

XLCOR_65 · 04-21-2016, 02:18 PM

Gorgeous.

canadian_diesel1964 · 04-21-2016, 03:23 PM

amazing!

RANDY COX · 04-21-2016, 05:11 PM

I saw that on FB yesterday...

cortcomp · 04-21-2016, 07:55 PM

Thanks everyone! I'm very pleased with out it all came together.

Randy: I'm amazed how many guys in that FB group aren't members here. So many questions are things that are stickied here. A google search would have lead them right to the door.

Bfoley: Yes, it was a landscaping trailer someone gave to me. Below is how she started when i got her, and when i was putting a better spring/axle setup under her.

**Palf70Step** · 04-21-2016, 08:48 PM

Beautiful truck and trailer!

'63GENIII · 04-21-2016, 10:02 PM

Hehe, whatcha got under the plastic?? You got the bad sickness! No chance of rehabilitation for you! LOL.

Slow Build · 04-22-2016, 01:15 AM

I agree it's a sickness but, as much as I've tried, I can't get a doctor to give me prescription for medical auto parts.

Beautiful combo.

duallyjams · 04-22-2016, 07:45 AM

Let me know if you find the cure. I just keep looking at more trucks or more details to perfect.

the only cure is more parts or a new project.

jbgroby · 04-22-2016, 07:45 PM

Not too sure if this is a long term care, but it does the trick most of the time.

cortcomp · 04-22-2016, 08:18 PM

Hah! For some reason that eats up a bunch of cash and time too...
