super sweet build been following forever but never found it on here till now lol

RANDY COX · 01-02-2013, 03:55 PM

Can't wait to see some more progress,it's a Killer Build,good to see it's a Father & Son Build together,My Son just turned 16 and he's taking Auto-body and Auto Mechanics in High School,I Think he might help me with my truck,I just got a 64 3/4 ton 4x4 it's sitting on a 70's chassis,

Here's a few pixs,PO has already replaced all new hardware in frame so we just have to concentrate on body.I want the original dark blue body with white top and steel wheels & caps,I want the retro look....O BTW it has 350 4spd..So keep the progress coming cuz it makes me want to get started on mine..Randy

C@rnut001 · 01-02-2013, 06:58 PM

Randy,
You have an excellent looking start there. You should begin working on it and start your own build thread with the help of your son. It is great to see these father/son projects. Thanks for sharing your pictures with us...makes me want one like yours and the one in this build!

RockTonka · 01-03-2013, 03:13 AM

Hey ya'll, thanks for the cool comments.

We've been out of the loop for a bit with a recent move out to the country (few acres/couple shops)

Been in the new place for a few weeks now and still trying to organize it all...we're not done, but making progress. We did make settling in to one of the shops a priority and actually moved the cab over on to the chassis just last night. I think my son has some pics to post up

We still need to clearance the firewall a bit before moving the cab into where it needs to be (an inch or two forward) but he's been goofing around with the bed parts to get an idea of how it's going to look.

RockTonka · 01-03-2013, 03:25 AM

Alright, chased down some pics...not the greatest, but it's the best we've got of the cab on the chassis.

88Lt1wagon · 01-03-2013, 10:45 AM

66-PMD-GMC · 01-03-2013, 10:51 AM

Thanks for taking the time to comment...always cool!

We're anxious to get back in the middle of these projects, having space will let us work back and forth on them at the same time...no more more stacking/unstacking to make room to work.

The first few weekends were spent getting the shop "office" whipped in to shape...trim, paint, carpet, and guy stuff.

The Texaco can lamp/table (collection of broke parts) was our first project in this place

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-05-2013, 08:31 AM

Looks like you guys have broke a few outter axle shafts by the way that lamp is built..

Cool window stuff, same here where did you get them?

My son and I have been talking that it would be cool to have a meet and greet here...maybe after we get settled in a bit.

Dinos63 · 01-06-2013, 12:19 PM

killer job!!

RockTonka · 01-14-2013, 02:28 AM

Thanks Dino!!

My boy and I worked a bit on fitting the front clip into place to help position the cab before jumping into making cab mounts. We still have a bit of tuning, but it's pretty close. Hope to have the cab locked down next weekend.

Jmorales3181 · 01-14-2013, 07:33 AM

That thing looks mean! It's coming out really nice!
