That would be great I forgot to ask Ronnie for it in all the excitement yesterday.

Nice color, but the bed on it is a little small. Whats the towing capacity?

Jeff La · 05-04-2013, 08:20 AM

Congrats guys, looks like its a win win for both of you

likaroc13 · 06-12-2013, 03:44 PM

Looking good, & thanks for keeping us up-to-date!

Strodder · 06-12-2013, 09:23 PM

Looks awesome

aggie91 · 06-13-2013, 11:04 AM

Wow, looks great!

Low Elco · 06-13-2013, 12:49 PM

Man, that's turned out pretty. Love the color, and what a story. Good Luck with it Tom, but it's lookin' like you won't need it.

tshaw · 06-13-2013, 02:41 PM

Thanks guys, it's kind of like eating a big plate of spaghetti. It seems like you just keep eating and you don't see much of it going away.

FetchMeAPepsi · 09-12-2013, 12:08 PM

Looks great. You're a little behind on updates LOL!

I got my window glass from Brothers Trucks. Fit like a glove. But you can also go to a glass place and have some cut just for you and it's about the same price. Just pattern it off the other side.

likaroc13 · 09-12-2013, 12:09 PM

Glad to see you post! I literally just asked Ronnie on Facebook the other day if he'd heard anything new. Truck is looking great!

Thanks much, I know I'm a little behind on updates it's been a crazy summer. Daughter off to college this year and 4 others keeping me busy. I have to work on the truck when I should be working on my business.

It's a lot more fun though.

theastronaut · 09-12-2013, 12:26 PM

Might no be local enough, but we're in Anderson SC and can cut a couple door glasses. We have the equipment to polish the edges of the glass as well, no rough edges or sanding marks.

Thanks for the offer, someone told me about a place not too far from me that should be able to do it. If not I will definitely contact you.

Hi guys a couple updates. We got the steering column in, would have the steering wheel on as well but the adapter did not work. Waiting for a new one. Got the new grill on and most of the wiring completed. Started it up Friday for the first time using the ignition switch. (Sounds great) Found a few leaks and tightened those up.

A special thanks to Mark from Washington. He sent me a hard to find wiper switch bezel to put in the truck.

tshaw · 10-15-2013, 03:58 PM

Hi there, I had a question about glass. I have the back window and some of the edges are a bit rough. (Another quality product) It is tempered glass. Is it ok to use a belt sander to smooth the edges?

shortbed70 · 10-21-2013, 07:15 AM

I've tried on some tempered before. Be very careful because it explodes when to much static is applied to it...

tshaw · 09-12-2013, 12:11 PM

Good idea on the local thing, may save some freight too. Thanks much

Modges'66 · 10-24-2013, 08:29 PM

Wow!
The truck looks awesome!
It looks as though your progress is only slightly ahead of mine!
...By only about 5 years at the rate that I am moving!
I cannot wait to be at that stage in my build!
Great work!

Thanks very much, it helps when it had a great start to begin with. If I had to work alone I'd be on the 5 year plan. Fortunately I have a local guy that knows his stuff and works very reasonably. If nothing else he gets me motivated when I know he's coming over to help.

tshaw · 08-28-2014, 09:45 AM

Yes a guy flew down from Toronto and hauled it back to Canada.
