Crushing Gumby 71 Shortbed Patina build - Page 7 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jasonvw · 05-31-2013, 08:57 AM

Yeh us VW guys have a big show coming up on the 9th called the Classic where all the cool cars make their debuts. Im bringing a new car but its not a VW, it starts with a "P" and I will post up some pics after the show. As far as Gumby goes, I am going up next week to Delmo's and I will start posting progress pics after that. I also picked up another C10 to play with while mine is away... Pics of that coming soon too.

You're not alone! I've already done my 3.5/5 swap though.

Peugeot???

jasonvw · 05-31-2013, 10:21 AM

Hahaha not a chance, and its not a Pontiac either...

knomadd · 05-31-2013, 10:28 AM

VW...P...I bet it's a Porsche

jasonvw · 05-31-2013, 10:36 AM

good guess... If any of you guys in So cal want to see a great VW show, and trust me, you do, then come out on the 9th to the Classic. Its held in Anaheim. Good show for sure. Back to C10 content, I picked up a 65 SWB over the weekend in original paint with patina. Very cool truck. Hoping to swap over some parts off Gumby's suspension to the 65 and sell the rest of the stuff. Should I list the parts in the classifieds section here on the site? things like the CPP tubular control arms and spindles. I figure someone here will want that stuff right?

Delmo builds usually happen so fast that the build threads cant keep up lol

jasonvw · 06-04-2013, 02:22 PM

I know right! Im dying to drive it, but Im also really interested in getting photos of the build to share with everyone so anyone wanting to see how its done in the future can refer to the thread and see whats involved.

Low Elco · 06-04-2013, 03:19 PM

It's Delmo, so 4 days, give or take.

That would be great because at that pace, I would be cruising it this weekend!!!

jasonvw · 06-07-2013, 03:19 PM

Progress!! Del got the cab and bed off and the frame all stripped down and taken apart. Digging the look of the cab all torn down! Im also really happy to see that Gumby is as solid all over as I hoped it would be. The bed looks mint! Here are some pics I got from Del. As you can imagine, Im excited to see the changes happen.
