Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
First off, and I think everyone agrees, that is an amazing build. I was searching google for body swaps from 60's pickups to '99 and up chassis when I found yours. It took me almost three days but I read through the whole thing, just crazy, especially the quadrasteer.
I have far lower expectations for my project, I just want to put my rusty '66 C10 on a new chassis and drivetrain, kind of a daily driver rat rod if you will, with a focus on comfort like yours. Just beautiful, Drew, congratulations |

Drew, you did an incredible job on the house! The patio and ceilings are awesome! I love it. The hammocks, bother a fat guy.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I saw your truck driving across the Kroger parking lot today. I was hoping to see your beautiful truck in person and meet you, but couldn't catch up with you. Maybe some other time.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Wow, your house is amazing. I know we shouldn't second-guess our gifts, but I really do wish I was half the craftsman you are.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
WOW, we just hit 500,000 views!
Sorry I have no news to report other than a new steering shaft to replace the one I had made earlier with a weak joint that was causing some slop in the steering wheel.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Slop in the steering with quadrasteer... how did that feel on the freeway?

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
hello Drew and Renshaw family. I have browsed through this entire thread, and I have thoroughly enjoyed it. I love the truck. I think your home is beautiful. It's very nice to see everything that has gone on throughout the course of this build over the last couple of years. I am excited to get started on my truck. My kids are pretty young, but very excited about helping. My 5 yr old son said we "were going to build our truck, because I am going to help you, Right Daddy?" as we were looking through a parts catalog. I just wanted you to know I appreciate you letting me have a glimpse into your life and the amazing transformation of your super sweet truck.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
I made it sound worse than it really was, the steering wheel just had a little movement on center that resulted in no direction change, much like the old truck steering system. I wanted it to be precise like the new truck setup that it was.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Putting Young Frankie to work towing!
It was a perfectly uneventful 6 hour tow from Baton Rouge. Plenty enough power and brakes, smooth as silk. At 75 to 80 it was amazing and I nearly forgot that I was towing 4000+ pounds.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
it's hilarious that my co-worker and I were just talking today about making my 40 year old truck into the shops "tow"- truck to bring back the cars we put wheels on such as beemers and range rovers I couldn't stop smiling about our old vehicles pulling nearly brand new cars the sight of this is perfect

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.
Sorry I didn't even think about my fans. I was so concerned about the tow and getting back in daylight that I didn't even consider I was driving through towns that had members that knew me.

Yes, using the snot out of it. It's been my only vehicle for the past 3 months. It"s so fun everyday to have people staring, honking, waving me down, confused looks, you name it. Nobody has said " My grandpa used to have one just like that " though!!!!
