I needed one of those saturday..will they let you ride one at the swap meets etc? I saw some cool slammed wagons..but that was it

Tx Firefighter · 05-23-2010, 09:34 PM

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.

daverod · 05-23-2010, 11:22 PM

Saw one of these today. At first I thought the guy had built it from scratch. Turns out it's a kit.

150mpg 40mph.

Bikes looking good Kevin.

likaroc13 · 05-24-2010, 12:02 AM

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."

JohnC · 05-24-2010, 11:34 AM

Very cool Kevin!

aggie91 · 05-24-2010, 12:53 PM

That scooter is going to look great. When/Where is the next big swap meet you're heading to?

rahatawa · 05-24-2010, 01:22 PM

just a thought. but chrome cable clamps might clean up the scoot a bit if you don't mind springing for them

We're going to set up at the fall La Grave swap meet. After last year's poor showing, we decided to skip the summer La Grave. It was 110 and no one was shopping for stuff so we didn't make any money.

Actually, since I posted the pictures, I have installed chrome cable clamps on the frame for both throttle and brake cables. Thank you though.

Earning it's keep today. There's a front half of a 73-87 Blazer and 800 pounds of short iron in the bed and 1100 pounds on the trailer. Total right at 2300 pounds of scrap metal loaded onto the thing...

dougminton · 06-01-2010, 12:50 PM

subscibed (for the truck and the bike)

Tx Firefighter · 08-22-2010, 09:07 AM

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.

**DPowers** · 08-22-2010, 09:11 AM

I was wondering where you had gotten off to... must be a heckuva Dodge for you to trade.

It's quite a truck for sure. It's going to be nice to shift gears and work on something non GM for awhile.

Whaaa? Heresy! It's heresy I tell you!

Burn the heretic!

Seriously, I respect your new truck but man, I couldn't have traded the old one for it.

joe231 · 08-22-2010, 09:54 AM

What the heck man?
You gotta post pics of the dodge so we can see if you need an intervention....

Tx Firefighter · 08-22-2010, 10:36 AM

Big Joe, pics are on Facebook. Josh and Liz were looking at it yesterday and gave it thumbs up.

joe231 · 08-22-2010, 11:10 AM

I must admit, that is a pretty cool dodge, and a cummins to boot!

JohnC · 08-23-2010, 09:53 AM

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.

my67chevytruck · 08-23-2010, 03:34 PM

Kev, I was getting concernced as you have not been on in awhile. Gald to see all is good.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 08-28-2010, 05:43 PM

Damn I just spent all morning reading this thread and ya traded off the truck... Bummer but Im sure the dodge must be worth it.

oldblue1968chevy · 08-28-2010, 06:51 PM

sweet truck wasnt it?

has the new owner signed up yet?

daverod · 10-31-2010, 11:21 PM

I miss the old truck.

Tx Firefighter · 11-02-2010, 10:14 AM

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.

JohnC · 11-02-2010, 11:00 AM

You don't drive "Truck Norris" it drives you!

Glad to hear the new truck is treating you well. Also glad to see ya pop back in.

ERASER5 · 11-02-2010, 12:30 PM

Truck Norris dosn't drive down the road. It pulls the road under it.
