Re: tuba trucks
it was a fun drive and a little bit scary. with all the rain, there was a bunch of missing road and washouts to avoid but fortunately no banjo music. so that was good.
the guy had 2 really nice trucks but not for sale. one a jacked up K-10 and the other a big window 65. he was selling just the dregs. Quote:

Re: tuba trucks
Just noticed spell checker turned atmospheric in to something including heroic
I think that has to be good, looking at the forensic story a truck tells. May give you a ring later on.

Re: tuba trucks
Looking forward to "helping" but more importantly, learning from your boss Clem.
Feeling privileged, even before landing there.

Re: tuba trucks
Really looking forward to this. Even though it must be the furthest I have traveled to a show 4500 miles in fact I am sure it'll be worth it though . Best of all will be getting to meet the guys who's build threads we've been following for the inspiration for our builds,and to top it all off what way to celebrate my 50th birthday

Re: tuba trucks
its been awhile but we got back on the 65 short bed patina truck. patched the rust and there was quite a bunch and i will patina match the paint. also used a bed from another truck so it will need some paint work to look right. installed a grill surround from a green truck which will also need some matching. the plan was to build a hotrod truck with a nice interior and engine compartment but have a patina baby blue exterior.
heres where it is as of today... |

Re: tuba trucks
thanks to all the members who showed up for our cruise-in/toy drive. it was big fun and we collected tons of toys for kids this Christmas (mostly toy trucks). the total turnout was roughly 100 people, 45 cars and trucks, 60 lbs of jumbo shrimp with a big table of fantastic food (ala potluck), 2 kickin' bands and a campfire sit-in that lasted till the wee hours. big big fun.
any that missed but wished they hadn't... there's always next year. 2 guys that for some reason didn't make the group photo were Don (da2don) and Robert (sigshooter). |

Re: tuba trucks
Words cannot express how great of time everyone had.
Thank you very much for the great hospitality. The only question left is are you open to adopting a 48 yr old kid from Oregon and can I bring Steiner? |

Re: tuba trucks
I am not sure how many ways we can say thank you to you, Kim and your team of contributors Clem.
But you guys really turned out an awesome party. I just hope that I can return the favour one day.
