Re: US Tom

I have to install a c notch to get the back farther down. The front goes down until the inner fenders hit the tires. Here's the only pics I have handy of the front aired out.

Re: US Tom

Took Tom out for a photo session today.












































Spent the afternoon buttoning things down on the chassis. Replaced the e3 display cable and also checked the fuse for the compressor. It was fine, but I thought it might have blown because I've only heard it come on once since we finished up for GOODGUYS. Because the display cable was out of order I didn't cycle the system much because I wanted to be able to drive. Well, all that worry was for not. The compressor didn't come on because there was still 155 psi in the tank.

Re: US Tom

Thanks everyone!

It's always fun to see something that was just an idea come to reality. I had a bunch of spare parts and decided to get Tom to put them on. Next thing you know, it kinda snowballed. Now I still have a few parts left over that will find a home on another project -



Start on it in Fall sometime most likely. I plan to keep it as a shop truck of sorts, and he won't be anywhere near as nice - just a fun driver.

Dang.. It is like a never ending source of classic trucks in your world.. Looking forward to the shop truck build.

It is an illness, no denying that. I enjoy the build process more than driving the completed truck.

You aren't the only one, I've been dragging my feet because I'm so close to being done that I'm sad and don't want it to end.

That's exactly what it is - postpartum blues.

Re: US Tom

What a read. Awesome truck. Did you end up selling all the other toys? Did you guys put the vintage air setup in?

Haven't sold a thing yet, but something has to go! Haven't done the air yet, but probably will. Thanks for chiming in, I appreciate it!
