SANFORD build thread

[Bigru]

Nice build!! One of my favorites, sorry to here about your back and good luck. Where did you buy your backend stuff from? Like notch, blocks, bag plates etc or did you fab everything?

[jhrusk]

Thanks everyone for the comments, Bigru I bought the blocks from Boris, his screen name is way 2 lo2. Street machinery in Ohio is his business. Everything else I fabbed up, I made my notches but porterbuilt makes them as well.

Hey JHRUSK, just discovered your build, awesome fabrication work! Would you happen to have any 15x8 6 lug wheels or even 16" left over from your build? I too live in central Georgia thanks Mike.

Sick truck! Yours makes me want to tear down mine and start phase II.

[Johnny_Lamebridge]

Cool truck, really nice workmanship!

Just finished your thread, your fab skills are something else. Great build, take care of that back, I know from experience.

I just found this thread....Love to see more..great looking truck..I just got a set of those same 285-70-15 TA's for the rear of my 1966 but i have not tried them on the truck yet. you think they will clear bagged with 15x8 steelie rimes without widening the wheel wells?...

[jhrusk]

Not much going on with the truck, bed is at paint shop. I'm not sure on the tires rubbing, it will probably depend on wheel offset and how low u go.

lots of really nice work going on here!!!

[Dinos63]

you sir are a craftsman... congrats nailed it

[jhrusk]

Thanks Dino. Hopefully getting the bed back from paint Fri. I was promised the rest of it by Christmas. We will see.

[clemdaddy]

that will be a great christmas present...

how did the surgery go? is your back better? sometimes it takes a while to get back on your feet, but you seemed to be back pretty fast...

[jhrusk]

Thanks Clem. Yes the surgery went good had to take things a little slow but I am good now. I haven't posted much cause there hadn't been anything to show but hopefully Friday will go as planned.

Just read your whole thread. Hope your back is doing okay. Love the work you've done and the color is perfect.

[jhrusk]

Thanks

[clemdaddy]

that bed is killer... and a mighty fine choice of color.

[flips72]

absolutely beautiful, and my favorite color, congrats

[jhrusk]

Thanks guys. It has been a long time coming. Flips72 I chose victory red because of how well yours looked. The truck was originally red so I wanted to keep it somewhat factory. Painter told me the first of Nov. on the cab and doors and Christmas on the rest so I am hopeful by next spring I will have it on the road.

Been a while since I updated. Truck ended up in paint jail so I went and got it in March. The guy did a good job on they bed but would not work on the rest of it so I put up a make shift booth in my shop and painted it myself. I'm going to do the hood and fenders this weekend. I hope to have it pretty close to being finished by the end of the year. [quote][attach]1560173

Glad you got it back and glad you can finish the job yourself. Why didn't the shop finish what they started?
