Re: tuba trucks
Thanks for posting up Clem.
I think we are all multi dimensional and very few of us would not be interested in some of the other stuff that happens at Tuba Trucks. Think back to when you introduced the puppy....... Everyone went GAGA. And of course........ Breakfast being prepared by Clem and Kim. ![]() Remember all the reactions? So please do post away, we are your willing and waiting audience. I am absolutely take. With your new daily driver.

OK guys, don't dish out the hate... this 66 custom Ford is going to be a nice one. FE motor, C6 trans, power disc late model twin I-beams, detailed out engine compartment and interior... but leave the real patina. oh yeah, cool retro wheels and tires. The owner is a good dude with good taste... got nice Mustangs and several old Ford trucks. |

This 55 Custom is in the category of basket case... Pete has got it running pretty good but there is a ton of stuff to fix on this one. |

Re: tuba trucks
This 66 longbed came to us about a month ago for some much needed repairs. We rebuilt the front suspension, completely redid the brakes, replaced taillights and backups, installed new windshield and backglass, resealed the top half and oil pan of the motor, installed left and right door mirrors and redid the bed.
The owner left very happy and promised to return for some cosmetic work but he'll have to get tired of driving her first. Might not happen... ![]() |

Re: tuba trucks
Pete's Truck (unnamed)...
I pulled into the driveway in this cool 64 jimmy while Pete was working on some brakes for a customer. When he looked up and saw that GMC, I knew who would claim this one. His dad had a 64 GMC long bed the same color. The fact that Pete is an off-roader and the Jimmy was a K-1500 with a PTO front mount winch didn't help my cause either. So we worked out a deal... Its his. I hope he will start a build thread but this truck is nice enough to be a driver, fix-it-upper and the look on his face made the deal just that much sweeter. pics... |

We've been working on a few different trucks which I will post-up about soon but for now, you guys that follow will remember the old truck parts that we were inheriting. here is load 2 and load 3 & 4. These parts are scattered and unorganized so it is my task to condense and re-warehouse. There's over 50 heaters from all different years. Earlier we got several 58-61 grills but zero bezels or eyebrows. Found them... box of each... OMG, this is going to take a while. |
