keep us posted thanks

Sicklajoie · 01-22-2011, 12:09 PM

Finally arrived this morning...

dan42 · 01-22-2011, 12:32 PM

Very nice purchase. I love those orange trucks. Kinda makes me miss my old C20. You better heat that garage, she's probably not used to the cold!

Most of the bandwagon fans in the upper midwest are gone too! There's always next year. It can only get better.

I really like that truck. Congrats on your purchase.

You guys on the coasts need to broaden your horizons. There's a lot more to see between Sacramento and Connecticut than corn.

Good looking ride. Enjoy!

For sure!
She's got a pretty good oil leak right now. I'm sure it's because the gaskets are shrinking from the cold.

Sicklajoie · 01-23-2011, 09:19 AM

The Alcoa rims are kind of growing on me, but I still got the Ford van 16" rims this week and brought them to the powder coater to get them nice and white.

Will mount some Michelin 235/85/16 tires on them when I get them back.

rick0312 · 01-23-2011, 11:46 AM

nice truck! yeah if I had to do it over again I find a CA truck. slim pickins here in the northeast.

Sicklajoie · 01-23-2011, 08:24 PM

This is the way my hubcaps looked that I won on Ebay a few days ago. No dents whatsover but needed a serious cleaning. I used S100 Polishing Soap.

After a few hours of elbow grease they look like this. Now I just have to take them to my local sign painter so he can repaint the black and paint the bowtie blue.

VA72C10 · 01-23-2011, 08:52 PM

Nice! Those came out looking GREAT! Can't wait to see them painted up!

project7206082 · 01-24-2011, 07:24 PM

awesome truck cant wait to see it around town if the snow ever melts. Nice to see a local guy im from enfield

Sicklajoie · 01-29-2011, 05:27 PM

dan42 · 01-29-2011, 05:49 PM

Nice to see you here!

It's been a challenging winter, especially for a delivery driver like me.
It was almost 40 today so I just had to take her out and to the car wash.

**72 Super** · 01-29-2011, 08:11 PM

That is a beautiful truck and I think I would leave the wheels, they look great on there. I love these trucks in Hugger Orange. I know you made out a head even including the air fare and transporting versus restoring a rusty truck by a long shot.

Enjoy it !

Sicklajoie · 02-03-2011, 07:20 PM

Just got the hubcaps back from the sign painter. Big thumbs up!

Not bad for an $81 set of hubcaps!

463 · 02-03-2011, 08:00 PM

to nice to put on the truck so you will have to make room in the "man cave wall"

looks real nice

VA72C10 · 02-03-2011, 08:19 PM

Wondering how much you have totally invested? Since the NOS set of those just went for BIG $$$ on ebay...

Those look just as nice!

**Nobby** · 02-03-2011, 08:29 PM

Beautiful truck! Can't wait to see it with the steelies and caps. Whats that white stuff in your yard

Hubcaps - $81
S100 Polishing Soap - $11.00
Sign painter - $105
So $197 total.
