Re: tuba trucks
That's the trouble with repo panels , but a good panel guy can make them fit with time and patients . The picture of the truck says it all

In a word.... Amazing Clem. Your builds really do speak for the quality of Tuba Trucks' work. I am so gutted that I could not make it to you this year, and a broken down car and dealership that has not touched it since it got there on Wednesday late, does not help either.

I remember seeing the alignment issues, I may be the 'Doc' but you Sir are a Wizard. A Kick A$$ Wizard at that. Lets not forget the Killer interior too.

Thanks, progress is slow but steady. We have 5 active projects and juggling a little time for each is the hard part, seems nothing ever gets finished. Quote:

OK… here's the sweet heirloom 64. Completely blown apart. The cab has minimal rust and we should drop kick that next week. The chassis has been taken to a commercial powder-coater for blasting and gloss black color, first time to do it this way but if it saves a bunch of time and doesn't cost too much, well good then. All the other parts were stashed out back awaiting their turn. We got a new friend. A baby black and white is living in the bamboo. He's wild but starting to trust us. It took a week before we even saw him but his cries let us know he needed us. Now he comes up to get pets as well as the milk. Cool little kitten, Kim named him Barney. |

Re: tuba trucks
It'll be nice getting back the frame & components back ready to bolt on. Only issues I've seen is threading/fitment.
In time will Barney be joining the others at the house? |

Re: tuba trucks
Barney (insert middle mae here) Johnson ?
Pretty guy. Just got home today and my two are around me nonstop. They were fed while I was gone, but not loved. Cars do need that too.

Re: tuba trucks
This last Saturday, a buddy and I went to Waxahatchie TX to the biggest truck show ever. "C10's in the Park" the last count I heard was 660 Chevy and GMC trucks but they were still coming in. Didn't get a pic of her but Boasted Bertha was there and drawing quite a crowd. This was by far the most variety of building styles I have experienced in one place. If you can, you've got to go to this one next year… see ya there.

Re: tuba trucks
Thanks Clem.
Dang, I live in the wrong country. Like the Esso, as it was a brand I grew up with.

Re: tuba trucks
I will be driving by your shop tomorrow, if I see you I will stop. You will most likely not be there on Sunday though.
