Haha, ya the ol Roadliner would look great behind Jackalope.

Well we got some help from Ol mother nature with putting some patina on Sams wonderful work on the bed wood. The shops roof leaks where the hoist is when it rains hard. Needless to say the water isnt the cleanest by the time it finds its way to the ground. Well Jackalpoe was parked right under the leak and the bed wood got some treatment. At first I was like " oh ****balls" then the more I looked at it I realized I liked it more this way. Hahaha. Got the thumbs up from Sam and crew so it was a load off my mind and a nice addition to what has turned out to be an awesome truck.

650/15 and 670 15 I believe. I'll have to double check that one.

Dan, no problem. No limit engineering in SanBernadino, great stuff. It's not a direct bolt up deal but if you have some minor fab skills it's a breeaze. Look them up, good prices too.
My 1/4- 3/8 bender is snap-on and my 3/16 bender is from speedway motors. It has the tighest radius I could find.

Yezzi, oh ya boyeee. Should be good times.

Delmo:

Thanks for checking it out. I am using the same suspension and want to make sure that I get the stance right for the diameter of tire that I am going to use. I am not sure that I understand your tire nomenclature though.

I have half a mind to mozy down to Burbank and check it out. I was not sure about a patina truck in the past, but I really like them now and a part of me wishes that I went that way. Oh well, next one.

[Delmo]

Come down anytime, just give me a heads up. 818-472-7692

They are Bias ply so they use a different measurment on the tire. The fronts are 26" and the rear are 28" I think. Goto Coker tire and check out the firestones.

Thanks for the info Del. I can't wait to see what your next project is? Keep the photos coming. I'm sure it applies to a lot of guys here but I am learning a ton just from studying small details of what you do. Thanks again Dan

Hey Delmo: Who is Dino, where is the party, and where are our invites?

[Dan in Pasadena]

Delmo,
I went back through your thread looking at photos and I have a couple questions, I hope you don't mind. You said something about using No Limit stuff, can you elaborate?

What type tubing bender do you use for your brake lines and what kind/where are you getting the line clamps you're using? I hope you don't mind the rookie questions.

[Slowtruk]

This one has a little bit too much rust for me. Still turned out good though. Good work

[Yezzi]

Looks perfect see you next Friday night!

[72BlckButy]

Lookin' good Del!

Love your work Delmo.
Nice to see what a professional would do with these trucks.
Specially someone that's into nostalgia and the whole classic auto culture.
It seems like builders are on top of current trends, for instance: patina, engine choices, brakes and suspension.



I'd like to go next friday, but it will be a stretch.
Gotta wire the fan, plumb the rear brakes, bleed all the brakes, get the driveshaft cut, modify the trans crossmember, wire up the overdrive, jury rig the exhaust, add all the fluids. Check for leaks and sort out the emergency brake cable, Cross my fingers.
once that's done it will be driveable.
And if it doesn't rain.........don't drive it in the rain or let it get wet

The Goodguys show is in Scottsdale while you're here, are you guys going to put Jackalope in the show?

When Dino pats you on the back you include it on your resume.

[Dinos63]

wow this all true!!! go on

[Yezzi]

If your lucky enough for him to call you Kat your life will never be the same.

[disturbinglykool]

He is the life of parties he has never attended.


Yezzi's back!

[Delmo]

Ya exactly, and if he says that your ride is "legit" then you know you've made it.

He was the featured man at a bachelorette auction he brought in over 13 million euro, under the table.

He once dyed his hair gray just to see what it felt like.
