Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build
Finally! A big step in the progress on Gumby! The body is on!!! Im really excited about the build at this point and its starting to look like a truck again. Firewall where the heater used to be and all unneeded holes are all welded up, metal finished and painted. Cab bottom was cleaned up and undercoated before it went on.
Del also got the trans hump out and the high hump is ready to go in next. As soon as the wheels get here, it will be a roller again! Its getting very very close. What do you guys think?

Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build
Great looking truck and awesome progress!
I have two questions, which wheels are you going with? And any particular reason you left the drums out back?

Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build
Thanks guys! Wheels will be the new Intro built Delmo specials, you just have to hold tight to see them. As for the drums, the brakes work great as is, and you won't really see them through the wheels so I stuck with what works.

Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build
Are you planning on running AC on this? If so which compressor are you going to use? Original and keep the OE look or upgraded Sanden type (maybe body color to blend in better)? Also, whats the paint code on this truck? Is it a factory color?

Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build
Nah, no AC for me. I like the basic stripped down look of the engine as is. Honestly it stays really cool here so windows down is really all I will ever need. I don't know if Im going to do the rockers... I have been thinking about it but Im still on the fence. The truck is all original paint, no blends on it, and I really don't know how I feel about cutting those out and blending paint. Maybe.... maybe, we will see.

Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build
Awesome, thanks for following along. More good stuff is just around the corner. I have been playing with the 65 in my free time, enjoying it until the very last moment, when I finally list it for sale... I changed it up a bit. I will post up some photos later today.

Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build
I just love these color of green trucks. I had one and I hated it until the day I sold it. Now when I see them I miss it. your build is looking great!
