I love that semi wheel conversion. Very well done. I would love to set an old tow truck up like that one day. Just flat out cool!!! Or a fire truck like Dan's.

Like this one.

**special-K** · 02-21-2010, 05:44 AM

ME TOO! How cool would the early iron hauling cars be?Just a canvas for cool door art,too.There`s something super nostalgic about an old wrecker from any year.That`s why I wanted my`71.Nice pickups are great,but to roll in with a wrecker...now that`s just too cool.
That`s a sweet one there.

Here`s a different twist you don`t see .It was built this way in the day.I believe it`s Austrailian:

If that touring car was 3/8" longer it would fall off that flatbed

Oh well, here's a nice '35 I found online today, enjoy:

**tnblazerk5** · 02-21-2010, 11:05 PM

i really like that alot !!!!!!!
makes want to sale every car/truck/parts i own to build one of those

and still not sure i could afford it then

**Dan in Pasadena** · 02-22-2010, 12:46 AM

You know, making one look EXACTLY like that can be super costly but if you watch out there are some good deals out there on partially completed projects (like mine was), then with some judicious parts buying and plenty of DIY you can make a truck that compares very nicely with a show truck like that....at least I think so.

**special-K** · 02-26-2010, 08:24 PM

You`re right.Besides,how cheap is it to do a total build of a`72 or any truck?

Driveway Dreams · 02-27-2010, 12:20 AM

Some more gorgeous trucks there guys. This thread has me excited to take some more pics this summer once the shows start back up around here.

Oh, BTW, did you see that my buddy Jason (THE UGLY) chimed in on his truck build?!?! Finally huh?

**special-K** · 02-27-2010, 01:06 PM

Yeah,finally got the lead out.Is your boot print still on his arse?

Hey,me too on the pictures.Come to think of it,I still have some pictures of trucks in some shows I`ve been to to dig up once I deplete my Pre-47 folder here.
Variety,the spice of life:

**Dan in Pasadena** · 02-27-2010, 01:58 PM

The red COE is almost comical in its proportions

**special-K** · 02-27-2010, 11:57 PM

Looks like a Hot Wheels or other toy.Imagine driving it,though.How cool from that perspective it must be.Especially with the power and sound of a V8.

Yeah they are.You almost have to look past them now to what they were.They`ve been overused ,but I feel still have their place on anything that once did run them way back before all these other wheels.Chrome reverses were the first custom wheel.Smoothies came right along.You go through all this effort for the wide steel wheels color,and a cool set of hubcaps.It`s expensive.It`s a great "hybrid" stockish look,very tasteful.Smoothies are so simple,are caps too,and are old school.

Not a truck but this '36 2 door coupe is OUTRAGEOUSLY beautiful to me. I haven't really been that big a fan of Chevys of this era but I would be proud to own a car like this.

**Dan in Pasadena** · 03-02-2010, 10:12 PM

...And another. Not a Chevy, a 35 Ford but just trying to keep us all in the mindset of the pre-'47 trucks. There are some really great examples of what we can do with our trucks. I saved this picture thinking about black over red for mine. Still haven't decided; I'm leaning toward the dark olive of the '40 Chevy COE I am also posting if anyone knows what color it is I'd really appreciate it. The olive has a touch of brown in the green...I think.

That is a nice color. I believe it is Brewster Green, code 267. PPG match may be 43845 or 44621.

**Dan in Pasadena** · 03-03-2010, 05:57 PM

Hi Ron,
Thanks for the info. I thought of Brewster too but have only seen the color online, never in person. I thought Brewster was more of a true green than this brownish-dark green that the COE truck is.

**GruntMoanCough** · 03-03-2010, 06:14 PM

Yeah, I see what you're saying. Found it here, http://www.customclassictrucks.com/f.../photo_07.html, seems to be a one off mix.

**Dan in Pasadena** · 03-03-2010, 06:46 PM

Awesome that you found it. I've saved every picture. Thanks a LOT.

**Dan in Pasadena** · 03-03-2010, 06:49 PM

Just because I freakin' LOVE this color for my truck, I am direct posting the color here:

**special-K** · 03-04-2010, 05:56 PM

i don`t know the color,it`s truly classic.It seems an awful lot like an IH color I`ve seen.What I like is it`s dark,but has a milky nature to it that allows t to pick up on foreign light and color.Some darks just "stop" other colors and are just a blank.I`m not sure if I`m explaining what I see.I don`t just mean flats,I mean the shiniest darks can just look blunt,like it`s the end,nothing bounces off it.(maybe I`m revealing how messed up my mind is...lol)
