tuba trucks

[Grizz1963]

Interior is hitting it out the park.

Get Pete to do a video of engine and upload to my or anyones Toutube to enjoy.

Still going to have many days n nights of regret for not buying this truck first.

I guess the only consolation is that I have one already that needs finishing.


Looking great Clem and team.

The boat ride will end up in massive smiles.

This truck is amazing, love the seat and the 327 looks really sharp. Michaels going to love it (lucky man!)

Thanks Donnie, I am retired but only from the corporate world... having fun now.

That is exactly right... though its hard to think of body work as much fun, it is rewarding.

Thank you sir, still a few things to do on the interior but it is coming together.

Thanks for the chit chat the other night, I agree about my metal skills getting better but they're way short of "killing it" like the way you knock'em out.

Thanks Greg, it was good to talk to you. I think your metal skills are off the charts and anytime you want you can help us knock'em out...

You have a very fine truck ahead of you and when done... you'll be tearing up the roads over there, even from the wrong side of the street.

I agree, Michael should be very happy. Hope to get Tina on the boat soon.

Thanks guys for the support and motivation. Best truck place on the planet.
Be back soon...

Looking at the pics of the master cylinder, Did you wind those brake lines and how did you do it? Looks great.

I roughed in what I wanted in soft tubing and sent it to Finelines. They made them in stainless and I got 4 sets. I think they charged $35 per set. No way could we bend them that nice in stainless. I've used all 4 sets on other trucks and need to order more. After the coil they drop straight down 3 feet, we then made the simple bends to the proportioning valve.

Want a set for steiner?

Those brake lines are not the pre wound stainless lines. I actually wrapped those myself. I think I used a paint can for one and my travel mug for the other.

Last weekend was the annual trek to Austin. The absolute best car (and truck) show we get to go to. Great pre 63 event with the best music, food and rides as well as a killer swap meet. 4 days of big fun...

Took lots of pics but it will take a few days to get them loaded up. The coolest truck thing happening is all the big trucks. Pete and I are gathering parts to build a 58 big window COE Viking and this show had a bunch of COEs. Pics...

A couple more...
There were also a few blg rig conventionals but thats another post...

[Ta2Don]

[Bomp]

Looks really good. What bumper brackets did you use?

[Grizz1963]

Real neat Clem.

As mentioned on FB, I LOVE that Tuba Trucks tailgate plate too.

Kind of signs off the project in a way.

Very impressed.

[Johnny_Lamebridge]

Wow, that looks great Clem!

[mjh1965]

Looks great Clem . The 67-72 rear bumper finishes the look off really well . That's why I have gone that route as well . Like I said on FB the badge looks nice and subtle . I guess you painted the badge to match the colour , or was it made to match the colour.
