J/K, of course

I started a Coulter's Album because of the Fabrication, Photographic, Artistic Skillz, Inventiveness, and Awesomeness that are found within this Build… When do we vote for Truck of the Year!!!

[coulter]

thanx guys glad you all are diggin the pics!!!

i took a road trip today to go help my buddy work on his f100. i know its a ford but its pretty badass!!! his plans are to drop in his 408 stroker, accuair, full resto on the interior, and get some steelies with wide whites!!!



i helped him cut his bed floor out and raise it!! actually turned out to be a fairly easy job.






also later that night i saw a cool bagged c10 with a 6.0 in it!!
not the best pic... low light and no tripod

If you took that low light shot by hand (not resting the camera on something) then you are either pretty steady fellow, or you got dang lucky !!
Nice shot !! ~again~ LoL

[JJ's Sierra Grande]

I agree with Ta2Don
creativity, ambition, fabrication and artistic skill put you and this truck at the top of the list for truck of the year. There are big money shops out there that don't put as much effort and thought into the details as you do.
and the Ford, its old an cool so I don't think we'll hold it against him.lol

well i had the iso setting all the way up so i didnt have to have a long shutter speed. thats why the pic came out real grainy though

thanx guys it means alot

ive been slacking bigtime on updating lately. ive got a few new things done to the truck and have been driving it around alot. a few weeks ago i went to a local carshow and got to meet some members of the forum (Ta2Don Clemdaddy Kieth and sigshooter)
it was really cool to talk with all of them and check out their trucks
here are some pics from the show




















after that show i drove to a different town for a cruise night and met up with some buddys









thats only about half of the update. i have a lot more photos to upload so stay tuned

[1963c-10]

Some great looking trucks....thanks for sharing the pictures!!

[96Indyram]

Great pictures! Good looking trucks! That picture #10 ... the old truck with "rat" on the door.... that thing is slick! pretty creative.

If I can ever get my old trucks on the road I have to come down to Oklahoma for some of your shows. Last time I was at a show down there was at Mustang Ok. during their "hot rod holiday" weekend about...oh...1993. LOL.

[rusty76]

As always....AWESOME!

[likaroc13]

Cool pics! I really dig the teal/green patina '66 from the cruise-in. I've seen pics of it on Facebook before. Glad you got to hang with some of the board members as well.

[Ta2Don]

PICS, PICS, PICS...

ok here is the rest of the update. last weekend i went to the stray kat 500 car show in dewey Oklahoma and i must say i was really impressed!!! there was a crazy amount of badass cars and trucks.. I only slept about 2 hours the night before so i got lazy and didnt take many pics but here are the few i got.
i left friday night to meet up with maggie and jason but my truck slung the belt off due to an alt bracket issue. so i limped it home and took about a 2 hour nap then woke up in the middle of the night so i could fix it and hit the road early. this was after 3 days of thrashing trying to get some new stuff put on the truck..









i finally got to meet Jason and maggie and check out her badass shortwide they were both really cool and lookin forward to hanging out again
















there were about 600 more badass rides that i didnt get a pic of. sorry for being so lazy.. lol

i made a cool little sign to put on my robot!!!!


after the show we cruised together till we had to go separate ways. we stopped to get a few pics together. the lighting was really harsh and couldnt find a cool location so i wasnt real happy with the pics but it was still awsome to get some pics with jason and maggie











you can see the rest of the pics in maggies build thread. super cool truck!! if you havent seen it go check it out

since i didnt take any pics of my new goodies at the show i went for a lil cruise today and snapped a few new pics. i think the shots on the bridge are my favorite so far

i couldnt decide which i liked better so im going to post this one twice.






ok here are a few of the new things.. didnt really take any pics while i was working on these updates but you get the idea

i added some air cylinders to open my bed floor for me. it also holds it down to and i figured out a really sweet way to make it latch and it is totally hidden. I didnt quite have all this lined out at the show but ive got it working pretty good now.. i will try to make a video soon

also installed a 32 gallon fuel cell to get rid of the stock tank in the cab. just had to cut a hole and install my sending unit. only thing that wasnt cool was i had to give up one of my tanks. they were too long to mount them on the side of the frame like i wanted. o well maybe i will chop it down later.

not the greatest pic

[coulter]

btw keith i took your advice on my swaybar problem. Adding a clevis instead of using a heimjoint is keeping my sway bar centered like it is supposed to be

[jdoisher]

We had a blast hanging out and will have to do it again for sure!! And I'll say it again, this is my favorite build on this forum!!
Jason

[Ta2Don]

Diggin' the newest changes!

...and that pic or those pics on the Iron Bridge...

[rusty76]

Man you just keep killin it. And the bloomin robot sign holder out of this world.....Way kool.

[clemdaddy]

cool hanging out with you in tahlequah. good show and a really big time.
i think your truck should have been best of show but the judges must have been shiney paint guys... engineering alone, and you got the winner. hope to catch up with you at another show soon.

[creep]

Nice to see it FINALLY on the road Insane work, man.

[chad64chevy]

i wish i would have not had to work and went to the car show!! I like the second pic of truck on the bridge, or atleast that angle!!

man you an jdoisher, both have the struts holding the hoods up, that's one mod. I have been thinking of doing if I don't do the flip forward cowl inducted hood!!

let me know whenever you come up this way, would like to hang out again and check the truck out!!

[low_life96]

Thought I would stop buy an check out your thread an I didn't realize you was from Muskogee I'm just down the road a few miles in stigler down here with the Ballard boys, your truck looks good I just picked up a swb 66 a few months ago

I thank you came to there cruze last year an it was a rain out I thank I saw your truck at sonic

[truckswede]

DAMN, you got one of the coolest longbeds on here! Great fab skills and a ace photografer to boot. And your shop, wow, i wish my shop looked like that.
You got it all, and i'm jeleaous as hell...now if you'll excuse me, i gotta go sell my kidneys or something...

Thanx man!!! Ive been doing some rustic remodeling in my shop. you guys are gonna dig it. still got a little work to do on it then i will get some good pics. also new parts for the truck too so stay tuned

[rusty76]

We can't wait you know that.

[Lowl!f3]

I like the second one on the bridge. It shows a little more 3D with partial in the bed shot.
I swear when you do those shots of the truck. They look like out of a magazine or fake. They are so clear it just doesn't seem like a real photo.

Did you come to Texas? Or did Jason and Maggie go to Oklahoma?
