Re: Vintage picture thread

A truck smoothed & painted at a shop I worked at back in 1987. Broken Arrow, OK. This was from a 1990 Truckin' Magazine feature. Matt Clarke & Al Calvert were the main team. It was sold and sits in a nice garage in Amarillo TX to this day, same owner. Not Fer Sale (one will try every once in awhile). Ace Hardgraves tubbed the rear by moving leaf sprinks mounts inboard. 9 inch Ford rear. This is the build I based my later truck on.

Yes, if your weather strip & door gap are perfect, it will not leak. BUT.........if there is a sleet/freezing..........ya need some very warm water to open that door. AND....if the door is shaved of handles & mirrors opening is hindered even more. Smoothed out a few like this & only one was a true daily and had this happen a few times.
