Re: My 63 farm truck build thread
I'm building it strictly for swap meet duty. They won't let you ride it during the day, but I camp at the swaps so after hours it's game on.

Re: My 63 farm truck build thread
Saw one of these today. At first I thought the guy had built it from scratch. Turns out it's a kit.

Re: My 63 farm truck build thread
that's looking great man! i love how u put so much detail into everything you do...and even though it's technically not the same, i vote that you pose for a Dumb & Dumber picture for us...."I get 70 miles to the gallon on this hog."

Re: My 63 farm truck build thread
That scooter is going to look great. When/Where is the next big swap meet you're heading to?

Re: My 63 farm truck build thread

Re: My 63 farm truck build thread
I haven't been on the board in a couple of months so I figured I'd log in to update a little.
I actually traded the truck off for a Dodge truck yesterday. The new owner is a lurker on here. He seems to be very excited about having the farm truck. Before letting it go, I did knock my shop logos off the doors though. I got burned once selling a truck with my name on it. The guy said he'd remove it when he got it home but Shane saw it at a swap meet a year later with my name still on the truck.

Re: My 63 farm truck build thread
It's quite a truck for sure. It's going to be nice to shift gears and work on something non GM for awhile.

Re: My 63 farm truck build thread
Sorry to hear about you selling the farm truck man. However, I know you like to mix things up quite a bit. Now that you sold the truck, doesn't mean you can't still come hang out though.

Re: My 63 farm truck build thread
I've been away from here for months. I kind of looked around but didn't see the new owner on here anyway. Some of my buddies have seen the old truck around and they said it looks exactly the same as it did when I traded it off.
I've been driving the Dodge that I traded it for everyday. It's been a good truck. My wife calls it "Truck Norris" because it's so tall and crude. I've been enjoying the power and 20 miles per gallon a lot. ![]()
