ahhhhh too bad you are not coming up for the Spokane Show the 16-18th of August.
Wife and I put in for leave for August and if it goes thru, I will enter our Pontiacs in the show. It would be awesome to see yours and meet you.

In the next couple years, after we both retire, we plan on making as many of the PNW shows as possible (we bought a 1955 two ton flat bed and a 20' trailer to haul our cars with mostly for this purpose).

Last year her 1972 LeMans was not ready so we only showed my '66 Tempest.

Your bed looks awesome, would sure like to see how you did that !!

Re: Farmers big block

Three years ago yesterday I started these thread besides a few little things she's DONE .

In the last week I have built new rear bumper brackets, built brackets to mount seat belts, fix leaks, mounted the new wheels and tires, trimmed the rear fender lips needed more tire room and a whole lot of little things and they take the longest to do.

The last three years on these site has been great. I have learned a lot and got a lot of great help.

I will post the final pictures as soon as the wife shows me how to do it. The site will not let me do it like I have in the past.

Are first show will be The GoodGuy's in Puyallup WA if your there come by and let's talk trucks

Thanks for the help
Keith

Re: Farmers big block

That's a beautiful "farm truck" you've got there, the final product is worth all the time and things to overcome. I've been to that show in Puyallup a couple times. My poor brain was overheating the whole time, and a big grin on my face the whole time. Never been to any show that big or that good. The fairgrounds are beautiful throughout, and I met a lot of cool people there. Even the diner across the street from the front gate for breakfast was good. Next time I go, I think I will go the week previous and go on the shop and collection tours. Enjoy your new ride, and the start of a long love affair with it.

Re: Farmers big block

Congrats!
Your build thread was one of my "go to" threads whenever I logged on to the site, hoping that posted up anything new.

The truck turned out beautiful, and you are deserving of the award! The feeling of finally getting one done is victory enough, and getting an award at a show as prestigious as Goodguys makes it even better.

Are you a Goodguys member? If so, you'll be seeing a color picture of your truck in next month's Goodguys Gazette. The Gazette is a great "Members Only" magazine that I look forward to each month.

Re: Farmers big block

I thought I would post some final pictures of my build. It's been almost 4 years from the day I pulled her into the shop. She's been on the road for the last month or so. We have been to (3) show's and have received (3) awards.

This web site has been a great source for info. This site has been invaluable for me not only saving money, but also time. I want to thank all of you for responding to my numerous inquiries and maybe I can help someone with their project.

I might be going to a new project which will take me to a different year category on this website. My wife's grandfather has a 1942 Chevy 1 1/2 ton that maybe I can make it my next build and make it really cool!
