My 63 farm truck build thread - Page 15 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

SCOTI · 04-27-2010, 05:04 PM

Done any PC-ing lately?

Tx Firefighter · 04-27-2010, 07:26 PM

I coated four days in the last week full time.

Tx Firefighter · 04-27-2010, 07:43 PM

Well, I got tired of the big truck grille real quick for some reason so I swapped back to the 63 one. I'm all loaded up and leaving for the big Pate swap meet. I'm going to be out there from Wednesday through Sunday trying to hawk some powdercoated parts off for tire money so I can get the Ronal Teddy Bear wheels on.

Yes, those are tables and grilles on top of the rack headed for the swap. It may be ugly but that rack does the job...

SCOTI · 04-27-2010, 07:58 PM

Hhmmm.... I like both grilles. The correct one does fit the truck 'better' IMO.
Maybe that big truck grille would work on a 64

?

Tx Firefighter · 04-27-2010, 08:02 PM

Scoti, I will have it for you at the swap meet if you want it for your truck.

I really did like the big truck grill on there, but you can't hardly beat a '63 grill....I think it is my favorite!

You gonna be at the swap meet all weekend? I think the family and I might come check it out.

Tx Firefighter · 04-28-2010, 05:35 AM

Big Joe, I'm gonna be setting up this morning and camping there until Sunday about noon.

joe231 · 04-28-2010, 07:34 AM

Right on Kevin!
Hopefully we will see you there.

McC_65_91 · 04-29-2010, 01:11 AM

i like the big truck grille too, its unique, i agree it would look cool if you could put the CHEVROLET sign from the top in the midddle of it. I do like th 63s as well, my favorite is the GMCs tho, i got a 65

72BlckButy · 04-29-2010, 02:34 PM

Looks good all loaded up and ready to roll Kevin... good luck selling over the weekend!

ruffrida2005 · 04-29-2010, 07:41 PM

Ft.Worth @ Tx Motor Speedway.

cool cool, i'm only 2 hours away, but i'm running 104 fever so I dont think i'll be there.

**N2TRUX** · 04-30-2010, 09:37 AM

Looks like its ready to work Kevin. Y'all got rain in the forecast, so travel safe and stay dry.

Bazooka · 04-30-2010, 01:33 PM

Hard to beat that 63 grill. The big truck grill looks good too but would probably be best on a 4-5-6 truck.

SCOTI · 05-01-2010, 01:18 PM

I finally got to see TX's farm-truck in person.

Very straight body w/the exception of the hood. He started working the dent out but ran out of time (so far, so good though). He's done quality work & it shows. I can't wait to see the 'new' stuff he's working on. He also gave some good info for some of the interior stuff I want to do on mine (complete door window re-vamps).

Tx Firefighter · 05-02-2010, 01:59 PM

Yep, I suspect you will see the commercial grille used in another board member's build thread soon.

Primered_69 · 05-03-2010, 06:22 PM

Wheels? Pics?

Tx Firefighter · 05-03-2010, 08:02 PM

No wheel progress yet. I'm waiting on money for front tires. It might be a couple of weeks.

joe231 · 05-03-2010, 08:50 PM

Aw come on!!
those care bear wheels are gonna look bangin'!!!
can't wait to see them, and the pink polka dots are going to set it off.......oops, sorry Kevin! I let the cat out of the bag

bubba327 · 05-14-2010, 10:17 PM

I bet he spent all the tire money on the pimpstar neon rims. Your truck is looking good.

joe231 · 05-14-2010, 10:22 PM

Tx Firefighter · 05-14-2010, 10:23 PM

Naw, I've been working on something else lately to take a break from the truck. It's a smaller project.

Started with this.

Rebuilt it completely and fully using all NOS Briggs parts, powdercoat and stainless hardware.
