Re: 75 Dually build
I have the same feelings as you about car shows. I ran the long haul on the Power Tour in 2015, it was a bucket list thing and the first time I had a vehicle to do it in reliably. I'm glad I did it, but probably won't do another long haul. We have been going to Cruisin' the Coast in Mississippi for the last 10 years, there are no trophy's, just cruising up and down the beach highway that stretches 33 miles from one end to the other. It has gotten really big and the traffic gets pretty bad for the last weekend, but if you go down on the first Sunday and stay til about Thursday, you can still get around. I'll be there every year until it gets so crowded that I can't cruise at all anymore. https://cruisinthecoast.com/

Re: 75 Dually build
I have high hopes of taking my 40 Ford on power tour, but it'll likely not happen. I like shows, but i like to go to the bigger ones and drive more than set. The drive between them was the fun part for me. I drove/drive mine daily and not just to shows. I plan to drive the wheels off all of them this summer.
I doubt I get as far south as you this year though. I'd like to get to Austin for the rod show there some day. My car would not fit in there so IDK if I will or not.

Re: 75 Dually build
Although mine seems like it may never get done, I am of the same mentality. I want most everything I build to be able to go on long trips. My biggest motivation for getting the diesel was definitely the mileage boost over the 454.
Build it right, build it reliable and there is no reason to keep it locked up at home never to see the road between lawn chair shows. Roadkill has made me more likely to drive some of the stuff I have further than I normally would before being finished as well haha. The wrap is killer! A little brighter than I would go but the grey really brings it back in to the perfect balance or colors.

Re: 75 Dually build
I would be up for an extended C10 cruise. I would need (want) OD before heading out to AZ though. ~3k @ 65 gets old beyond 30min across town runs.

I think it would be super fun to take a bunch of my car/truck nut friends and go find a hulk somewhere and do the very same thing. Hmmm I know where a couple 50's Chevy trucks are sitting right now... That gives me an idea... Yeah I've been thinking about getting an overdrive or maybe finding a 4L80 or 85E and making life a lot easier. Your right 3K at 65 is no good! Rather buzzy and hard to hold a conversation! Or maybe we should just do that trip a bit slower and save our pennies... |

Re: 75 Dually build
I would LOVE to do a trip like roadkill does. Fly in to a place, buy a car, fix/build it, then drive to where ever. They're living the dream IMO.
Yeah, I hope to burn some gas for sure. The 40 is the only thing I have that doesn't take diesel besides a leaf blower and a weed eater.

Re: 75 Dually build
So I finally got back on the truck tonight. Yeah, yeah, yeah... More bed work. I got the end cap completed on the passenger wheel tub. What looks easy rarely is... I also have a cool design for both of the access doors. I hope to share that fairly soon.
There is a small show at our local mall this weekend and I would like to have the bed at least mostly done. If I could have the bed liner on it before then that would be a major plus. Stay tuned! |

Re: 75 Dually build
There's a chance I might make a run to Lubbock for that shop. If so I'll come say hello.

Re: 75 Dually build
I have had this surf board for a couple of years now and it has just hung around in the shop for all that time. I got it on a trip we took to Florida a couple of years back. Because I am not ready with a new window for the Dually right now I made this display board for my club logo. Get it display board!
I am going to make a surf board mount for the bed at some point with a sign that is going to say "Surf West Texas!" Stay tuned! |

Re: 75 Dually build
Was not feeling well today so I stayed home from our local mall show. Later in the day I made some skaggs for the surfboard. They came out pretty good! Now I just need to make a rack in the bed to mount it.

Re: 75 Dually build
I'm just kidding. I didn't make it either. By the time I was done with kid activities I would've got there just as it was ending. Can't make it to blue ribbon. Wife informed me because that is prom weekend and since my oldest son is going I'd better not make any plans.

Re: 75 Dually build
While out on business this week I picked up the below grille for my 68 GMC project. A good friend on Facebook had it and was willing to let it go. Actually I should now say 68 Chevy. I have always liked the 67/68 Chevy front ends. Still have to collect a lot more parts for that project. However I can't wait to get started!
