Finally SOME progress? Looks like a ton of progress! Good job! Oh and a side question... Do you really own all those trucks in your sig? DANG! PM me some pics of that 57. Those are like truck porn to me.

mud.man.rj · 06-23-2013, 12:12 PM

If he does own that many trucks it is no wonder he has no time to work on all of them, man one is hard enough.

Wildstreak · 06-23-2013, 01:05 PM

Theres actually a few more Im hiding as well, my sig would be too long with them all in there. The 57 is in the same state the 70 was for the last 4 years but longer. Its my next project i think, looking for a 454 locally then find a nv4500 and np205 to stuff in it. I have like three tri fives trucks and one 58 apache as well as what I think is a two ton 55-57 GMC, you cant see the frame or rear end but they are massive. And right after I took this pic I grabbed the weed eater and cleaned around the truck so the grass doesnt grow into it. Yes I feel bad for it being outside but Im building a lean too this summer for most of my vehicles.

jjzepplin · 06-23-2013, 02:11 PM

So freakin jealous! Maybe you should send me the 57 postage paid so I could finish that which has been started...

That's a nice piece of steel you have there V. Any progress?

mud.man.rj · 06-23-2013, 06:02 PM

Looks like you will need an extra large lean too for all your projects, hope your fairly young.

Wildstreak · 06-23-2013, 07:36 PM

30 so young enough to collect more and finish the rest lol, If I can start finishing them once a year Ill be done by 40 lol. I live in a small town where most spend their time drinking beer and doing nothing, while I dont mind beer, Id rather spend my hard earned cash on my truck/cars/toys. Once a few are restored I can sell one or two to fund others. I hope to build two lean too`s, one will be a 4 car the other maybe 6. But thats all hopes right now lol.

mud.man.rj · 06-23-2013, 09:00 PM

Well young enough and with a good plan too, some cool stuff for builds. I only do one at a time, your probably thinking of a few at a time and collecting parts for most, kind of an advantage for you.

ColoradoK5 · 06-24-2013, 02:57 PM

Just recently picked this one up. Check out my build thread for progress. I need all the help I can get.

fattyarbuckle · 07-03-2013, 04:01 PM

did you get it wet?
We were there and were almost drowned while trying to get to our car! Pretty good rain for a while and traffic getting home was bad.

Nice looking truck!

this morning I did the jambs, hood sides and hit a spot or two I missed under one quarter...all with a small foam roller...worked like a charm...minimal tape necessary...

May is good weather...no bugs(well a few) nice temps and no humidity yet...this is something I did 40 years ago ...and decided to do it again for oldd time sake...also saved a bundle...275 dollars in paint, hardner and some reducer and tape...

it was fun...started at 8 in themorning after wet sanding w/ 400 the night before...only a few runs, nothing a little 600 and some wax wont fix...I do need to get the letter decals for the tailgate...also I lost one of the cab light bezels on the first test ride...I must have un hooked it when I pulled the tape of...that will probbably be harder to fix than anything else...

...and I think its running a bit better too...LOL...

1967 K-20 CST 4 wd 327 ci 4 speed...

all the best...ted

three rools of tape later...boy is tape $$ now...

the letters cleaned up nice...

almost ready...

Awesome truck you got there i would give my arm and leg for it.

fp1967 · 08-31-2013, 11:35 PM

Here is one that I've had since 1987. The first pic was taken in 1996, the second pic was taken last summer.

mud.man.rj · 09-01-2013, 02:29 AM

Truck looks so much clean without the Duke's of Hazzard turbines, the factory Ralleys look much better.
