Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build
Parts are starting to show up for the next iteration of Gumby. I have been collecting up little things here and there that are going to be installed soon. things like a serpentine system, some radio parts, Ipod hook up etc. Here is a look at the tires, 20's in front and 22s in back. Porterbuilt stuff is on order so once it arrives, things will progress quickly!
Hope you guys are enjoying the build as much as I am!

Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build
Thanks guys! I met up with Delmo yesterday to iron out the next phase of this build and everything is looking great!! I can't wait to share with you guys the build part 2. Today its really nice outside so I took Gumby out for a drive and stopped to snap a few photos of how it looks now. Things are going to change soon, but this is how it sits today. 5.5 and 7 static drop on 15 inch torq thrust wheels. Rides excellent!!
I like how its looking now with the paint polished and all the lights new and fresh. The tailgate lettering painted white again, and the proper rear bumper on it too. What do you guys think?

Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build
Wow, I have been slacking on here for a while, but things have been going on behind the scenes! All my Accuair parts came in, and its a lot of boxes!
Also should have my Porterbuilt stuff in 2 weeks. The truck is leaving for Delmo's this weekend, and good things will start happening quickly. More pics soon!

Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build
HAHA, not all of that is my stuff, some of it is for other trucks too. Wheels are going to be 20 and 22 smoothies with off white centers and chevy truck center caps. Those are being cut up right now.

Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build
well its official, Gumby is sitting at Delmos Speed shop and I hear that tear down starts pretty soon. I will have to get Del to post updates in here along with the pics I plan to take too. I hope to show a step by step frame build on the Porterbuilt stuff as well.

Re: Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build
Well since I have some garage space back finally, I have a chance now to finish a project that I have needed to take on for months. My daily driver, still on the original trans has been making very angry sounds for a long time. Split case trannys don't like to be forced to drive around with so much camber... This nice new trans is going to finally get installed so I can put the split case out of its misery and also keep up with freeway traffic for once.
Trust me, with only 36HP you will take every advantage you can get to move with the flow of traffic, even if its only in the slow lane...
