I love it! Such a cool time capsule.

darkhorse970 · 11-19-2017, 06:17 PM

Awesome ride, i love it!

**jimer1964** · 11-19-2017, 06:42 PM

Joe, Another nice one to add to your amazing collection!

CG · 11-19-2017, 06:46 PM

Wow, super cool! So is this a keeper, or are you going to move it down the road?

I'm going to move it down the road. I was able to save it, bring it back to to life, and hope to pass it on to someone that will appreciate it.

Should be an easy sale. I hope whoever gets it keeps is as is.

I hope so to. It need to just be preserved as is I think.

That looks awesome. I always loved the panel trucks. Started fir me when watching gravedigger doing jumps and racing when I was a kid.

I am truly envious! That panel looks as if it is only ten years old.

**rustytruck50** · 11-19-2017, 11:40 PM

That turned out great! I'd have a bit of difficulty cutting that one loose from the stable, too!

**3757chevy** · 11-20-2017, 12:20 AM

Thanks. Looks good.

**cericd** · 11-20-2017, 12:39 AM

Joe, that sure is a looker!

I noticed you painted the wheels yourself. Do you have any recommendations on that process? Like what type of blasting media, primer & paint process gives the best results?

Nothing special really, they were blasted, primed and painted with single stage paint. My good friend that's a painter told me what kind of paint to get.

jhama78 · 11-20-2017, 12:40 PM

Great truck, Love what you 'havent' done to it. Thanks for keeping it a time capsule!

**Dustmaker65** · 11-20-2017, 02:51 PM

Not much time reading the forum lately.... This truck is beautiful! And it's ORANGE to boot! Can not believe you are going to let loose of it

Great job as always Joe!

cypressbog · 11-20-2017, 03:45 PM

Very nice end result! Someone's going to get a special truck.

Thanks, Well it's actually 514 Red 😉 But it does look a little orange. Next to my hugger orange truck it looks red

**68jewel** · 11-20-2017, 11:39 PM

As previously stated, this thing is beautiful.

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-20-2017, 05:02 PM

Joe, that has to be one of the nicest original panels in the nation. That department must not have used it much, or whom ever did took exceptional care of it. That is an awesome rig. Did you want to relive old memories with those bias plies? They sure have a driving style of their own. :Lol:

These tires were a must for the look on this one. I think they are perfect on it. I drove it yesterday and those tires don't really drive too bad. And they don't make noise like I thought they would. Now I wouldn't want them for everyday driving though lol

**DeadheadNM** · 11-23-2017, 12:04 AM

Great buy Joe. Hats off to you for keeping it correct. Enjoy!

**Ol Blue K20** · 11-23-2017, 11:26 AM

Wish I could afford to give it it's next home....it's very nice. Great job Joe.

What would it take to buy that Beast ?
