Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds

That's cool that you know about spudnuts! That place hasn't been open for years! My brother worked there when we were in hign school. I still get back that way a couple of time a year. When we came through the weekend of the 4th of July there was a nice '66 short fleet on the side of 84 in Littlefield.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds

Here is my new truck: Red Rocker. Built by Hills Hot Rods for Travis Noack of Streettrucks (Truckin at the time). Travis had sold the truck, and I just picked it up from the guy he sold it to.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds

Travis got the truck built 5 years ago, and it was featured at SEMA 04. He kept the truck until early 07 i believe, then it was sold to an audio shop in Virginia. February 09 I decided to start looking for the truck thinking i might be able to "steal it" (price wise not literally) due to the economy. I found the owner thanks to a reply on mautofied. The owner was quite shocked at me looking for the truck. I asked if he wanted to sell it and he replied "sure for $35,000." I was 18 and that just wouldnt work. I told him to let me know if he ever actually needed to sell the truck to please let me know.
About a month ago now, he called again with a lower price. I told him the most i could pay and he took it! I talked to my boss at the GM dealer i work for and he approved buying it and in house financing it. 2 weeks later i was at the US Canadian border picking up my dream truck.
I know this truck has been a dream for alot of square body guys, and i know im very lucky to own it especially at my age. This is the truck that got me into the truck scene. I followed the build and read every article about it. I even went to visit Hills Hot Rods when i was 14 with my dad (drives long haul truck) because i had seen this truck in the magazines. You can ask CHEESE, he was there. I never thought i would own it, but now i do.
I can assure you all that Red Rocker will be taken care of. It gets parked inside everynight in a heated alarmed shop with about 20 other show cars. The plan is to drive it and show it up here where nobody has seen it yet, atleast not in person. I will not be taking any of the credit for it. Hills Hot Rods built this truck; their name is on the back window once again. It was Travis Noacks project, and it will always be that way.

Re: How about some pics of '73-'87 Short Beds

Oh ya. Im not going to tell you what i paid, but i didnt pay enough. Travis probably didnt pay enough to have it built either considering his position and all the sponsers. For an average joe to walk in and have it built, i would assume the bill would be in the $70,000 range.

It's great to hear your background, and plans for the truck. Now on to the info on all those cars in the pics. Glad RedRokr went to a great home, and I really dig the license plate!
