Sweet, can't wait to see some updates. Love the color combo your going with, can't go wrong with black with red interior.

Mr Chevorlet · 11-19-2013, 10:27 AM

Very nice build, great fab work.

Not sure what you saw on FB, I don't do that new fangled stuff.

Tom will be going to auction at some point, probably Spring.

It has been in the same family up till now. Started out in Nebraska then moved to Colorado for 30 years then was in Kansas the last two. It's been a work truck, she's got some bumps and bruises. Thankfully not much in the way of rust despite being in snow country for so long. The owner claims the 60,000 miles are all there is, but who knows? The spiral shocks surviving for more than 160,000 would be a surprise.

The cab is pretty clean, but one rocker has some rust holes in it. The floor boards and supports all look like they are in good shape.

Thanks, Keith - I agree on the colors - makes anything look good!

I couldn't agree more!

Thanks to Kyle, Short Changed got side tracked.

Well, I say thanks to him - it was my fault actually. Sent Ruth in for a simple respray and things mushroomed from there, and that took a lot of resource from SC.

On top of that, I'm rethinking the direction I want to go on it. Better to get that settled now, you know?

What direction would that be?

Zoomin · 04-16-2014, 03:19 PM

Was going for something similar to this (style-wise):

But now am considering something like Kyle's project.

I need to figure out which of my 3 trucks I want to keep, and what I really want to do with it.

Looking forward to see where this one goes next.

Post up a pic of all 3 trucks and we will help you decide!

Hey Karl, great idea!

Archbennett · 12-10-2014, 02:47 AM

What hapened with your project
Here is a little shamrock luck of the Irish for you
I am a backyard shop and just making a driver not so much a museam build like yours but I can defanentaly appreciate what u r doing

Zoomin · 12-10-2014, 10:17 AM

The front end that I purchased from Scott's will not work to my satisfaction. The steering column would've required too many universal joints as the motor mount is right in the way. So that derailed the project and I moved on to other things.

That pretty much dampened any enthusiasm I have for the project right now.

knomadd · 12-10-2014, 10:45 AM

Sorry to hear about that... Maybe when you get Ruth back, you can enjoy her some and get your enthusiasm back.

Zoomin · 12-10-2014, 12:15 PM

Thanks Duane. I'm sure I'll get back on it at some point.

Sorry to hear about that... always disheartening when you spend big money like that to have it not work out...

Zoomin · 12-12-2014, 01:31 AM

Bit of an update here. I guess someone called Justin and tipped him off about the thread. Let me say right up front I never told Justin I wasnt happy. I just sidelined the project. Kyle and I got all wrapped up doing Ruth and a few other projects and honestly Short Changed was put at the back of the line.

About two seconds in the phone conversation with Justin, he told me flat out he would do whatever it takes to make this work to my satisfaction. He runs a first rate business with top notch parts - I'm really not worried about getting this resolved at all.

If there's any reason for the delay, it's been me. I'll get back on this in a while, stay tuned.

**screaminchevypickup** · 12-12-2014, 05:06 PM

Good reason to get side tracked..

**GAc10boy** · 12-12-2014, 10:56 PM

Good grief! Ruth is flat out sexy!

aggie91 · 06-01-2016, 08:44 AM

This is a bit of an old thread, but I was wondering what has happened with this project?

Zoomin · 06-01-2016, 09:09 AM

The truck was sold after I received an offer I couldn't refuse.

**screaminchevypickup** · 06-01-2016, 10:04 AM

I think you need another project!!
