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.

joe231 · 05-14-2010, 10:34 PM

Holy cow Kevin!!
that looks amazing!!
I can't wait to see the finished product!!!

(and seeing you riding it around the swap meets

)

Tx Firefighter · 05-14-2010, 10:45 PM

Joe, did you notice the little minibike under my table at the Pate swap meet ? It's been a very fun project so far.

joe231 · 05-14-2010, 10:58 PM

yeah, we talked about it, and putting ape hangers on it, remember

Primered_69 · 05-15-2010, 02:11 PM

Man finally some supremes...your turning southside on me?

Tx Firefighter · 05-15-2010, 02:20 PM

It's definitely going to be Southside. Wait till you see the powdercoat color and the seat.

Funny thing is I was fixing this thing up to be a beater for the swap meets so anyone could use it. I've kind of gotten project scope creep though and it's looking like it's going to be a bit fancy and I'm going to be afraid to loan it out.

watahyahknow · 05-15-2010, 10:27 PM

that truck looks awesome im suprized it took me so long to come across it the only idea that might help the roofrack a bit might be a pipe with rollerbearings on the rear so its eazier to load long pieces ontoo it without screaching noizes

on the tires , a small white line on the sidewall might break it enough to prevent it from looking too big on the truck they did those tires in that era too

the dash looks realy nice maibe the big truck ones have the extra guages in them you need (oilpressure temp that sortah stuff ) i think you can replace the blockout plates with them in the dash you have (not sure if you allready had those gauges in there allready )

too bad you allready done the little briggs up you mightve been able to hook a little generator to it and make a stickwelder from it in the back of the truck
the state it was in wouldve been perfect in the bed

rallies with policecar hubcaps would been my choice on the truck but im verry curious to what you came up with

daverod · 05-15-2010, 10:32 PM

He has little bears.

Care bears

With polkadots

I like the little bike. The engine looks better than new. You going to drop it and put bags on it?

watahyahknow · 05-15-2010, 11:06 PM

those beartype wheelcaps where actually mounted on a small mazda from the showroomfloor here in the netherlands .............dont ask why

VA72C10 · 05-15-2010, 11:09 PM

amazing work on that B&S engine!!!

Tx Firefighter · 05-17-2010, 04:47 PM

This is what I've been keeping busy with lately. I needed a break from the truck for awhile.

YouTube- First start up of my rebuilt Briggs and...

VA72C10 · 05-17-2010, 04:51 PM

very cool!

JohnC · 05-17-2010, 04:56 PM

That little B&S turned out sweet man. Looks better than new!

joe231 · 05-17-2010, 05:54 PM

Hell yeah!

*LILRED66* · 05-18-2010, 10:34 AM

Kevin:

You have a true talent with bringing the old back to new. I loved the video of the 3 h.p. Briggs!

Tx Firefighter · 05-18-2010, 10:57 AM

That's very nice of you to say Tony. One thing's for sure though, I have no talent for video production.

Alvin, I got them from an ebay seller named "bladesmithbendor" . He's the go to guy for all decals in the small engine restoration hobby.

Here is his store... http://stores.ebay.com/ENGINE-DECALS?_rdc=1
