Re: tuba trucks
Just Do It !!! You will never regret it. Those Fayetteville people, or to broaden it, Arkansans, will always make you feel like family. Heck, if they were able to welcome Martin and I in 2015 from England, and then this year myself and Craig, both originally from South Africa, imagine how good you would feel joining this very worthy cause. PS. I am sure Clem would happily receive toys, gifts contributions by courier, mail, on foot, or tossed over the fence too..... It’s all for the kids.

Re: tuba trucks
Just trying to get a head count on forum members that are planning to head to Northwest Arkansas for the truck show and toy drive.
If you're planning on coming please reply to this post or pm me. We want to make sure we have premium parking and plenty of food. Thanks, Clem & Kim |

Re: tuba trucks
Last entry......
Christmas last year. Thought I would post this here for those interested Right......... Associated Charity time. On our 2019 Road Trip Dennis, Craig and I will be visiting Clem and Kim Johnson in Fayetteville Arkansas again this year. Trip reporting thread will be here: http://forum.retro-rides.org/thread/...ennis-reloaded Unfortunately we are traveling too early by a month this year. I have mode two of these amazing charity events in the past. HOWEVER..... I would still like to appeal to anyone who has the financial ability or inclination, to support Clem’s attempt to support for the Toys for Tots campaign in Fayetteville where he has yearly shindig with food, trucks and music at the Tuba Trucks workshop www.tubatrucks.com Clem arranges and Sponsors a large part of it himself. Toy Drive is described by Wikipedia as: Toys for Tots is a program run by the United States Marine Corps Reserve which distributes toys to children whose parents cannot afford to buy them gifts for Christmas. The program was founded in 1947 by reservist Major Bill Hendricks. More info here. https://www.toysfortots.org/ So if you feel compelled to contribute a toy or support to the drive please contact Clem via Tuba Trucks website and email or call to establish how you can help. Poster lifted from FB. ![]() I do hope that those who can attend and bring a toy in October will do so and get to meet some amazing people in the deal.

Re: tuba trucks
It has been a while since the last post and a bunch of stuff has happened here at Tuba. Four projects were finished and 6 more started. A new body shop was built and the paint booth got some improvements, thanks Dennis. The Sinclair Service Station where my wife and I lived for 15 years has become a B&B and we moved up to a rent house we owned downtown. The B&B part is separate from the Tuba shops but still part of it. Seems that most folks that stay here like the idea that truck restoration is going on all around them and they walk around and see what's up. The following pics are of the trucks we have finished...
Hope all you guys are staying safe. It's not over yet but hopefully close. |

Re: tuba trucks
Mighty fine looking trucks coming out of your shop. They are in better shape now than when they were new.

About this time last year a 65 custom shortbed showed up and we began the process of making the owners dream truck. Static drop, disc brakes, stroker motor, 5-speed tremac, original color with a complete frame up, nut and bolt rebuild. The pics show where we are now with bed coming soon... |

Re: tuba trucks
Another current project in the shop is this 58 Cameo. It's been here for a few years but the time had come to get it underway. When we got it it already had a 1964 327 motor and a 4-speed hydro automatic. After the tear down we sent the frame out to the powder coaters and rebuilt the 327 to a 300 horse Corvette motor. The hydro was a lost cause since the rebuild was very costly and parts were next to impossible to find so we opted for a 700R. We also changed the rear end to a 65 12 bolt to get posi and more gear ratio options.

Re: tuba trucks
I didn't realize they still made the Cameo in 58, but I just checked Google and indeed they did during the early part of the year. The steel fleetside was also available in 58.

Re: tuba trucks
The Cameo project is awesome, Clem. I hope you will share some more progress on it even if it is kinda out of the 60-66 group.
