Re: tuba trucks
Maude's chassis was one area where we did a lot of work. All new steering, suspension and disc brakes were done. We freshened up the 305 V8 and had the tranny shop rebuild a 700R.
Today the bottom of the cab will be solvent washed and sprayed with bedliner. The bodywork on the doors is well underway so the progress on Maude keeps the owner happy and us busy. |

Re: tuba trucks
Maude's chassis is clean.
You're giving Coulter a run for his money with that million dollar pic, the Patina truck reflection in the window behind Maude's frame. Yup, new screen saver pic on this guys Computer. |

Re: tuba trucks
Ta2Don and I often share our trips around America and England with photos, or if we see interesting trucks and cars, via Whatsapp or iPhone messages.

Re: tuba trucks
These update photos just make me smile widely Clem.
Now we just need Kim to make a small video on her iPhone and then to send the video over to me, and I will upload it for you onto YouTube. Unless Pete has a YouTube account already. That will surely make the rest of us spectators smile madly. I believe the new owner will be wayyyy over the moon.
