^How Clean is That!

markeb01 · 09-18-2011, 11:25 AM

That is one of the most amazingly detailed trucks I've ever seen.

**chevy_man5** · 09-18-2011, 01:29 PM

WOW, that is a beautiful truck!!!

markeb01 · 01-23-2012, 09:51 PM

Here’s my truck a long time ago with a 1950 Plymouth bumper guard grille bar:

59 Caddy tail light bullets. The mounting brackets replicate the profile of the rear fenders and look pretty cool at night:

Here’s a very cool looking solid glass bed cover. :

And here’s one with a lot of work invested:

If I'm not mistaken....he got it home....unloaded it....let it sit 'till he had time to tear into it....and that was the first thing he did....ripped off the bed and scrapped it.
I think the world of Jolly....but that's where him and I part ways....I'd have spent the 1/2 million hours to restore that bed.
I love the way it looks with the LCF.
As far as I can tell....that set-up was designed for delivering modular buildings...The short W/B with the heavy hydraulic lift hitch coupled with a spot on both sides for stowing all of the tires once the building is set.

Getting away from the trailer light look on my 1960 Apache I used to own. Used trailer light bucket's with 63 Impala lenses.

Thanks!

We had some fun and feedback with the 62 grill - once people figured out what was going on there.

The 60 treatment was my first serious attempt at a "custom" grill.

I saved the drawer pull screen to bring another 62 grill out the same way just for old times sake!

**LostMy65** · 06-09-2012, 02:57 AM

That interior is unreal!

**LostMy65** · 07-10-2012, 10:57 AM

I've been searching and haven't found a pic.
I'm looking for a pic of a stepside with a rear tube bumper like LakeRoadster has in front.
I'm thinking of it only being about 4' long and chrome.
