Hi, New to post here. Just posted a few pics of two of my four trucks with another one on the way. So I guess I mean two of my five trucks. Years of poorness, Hard labor, No parol. Sure is worth the end product IMO. Chris
I know what you mean on the poor part. It only took about 5 seconds to spend $1000.00 on my 4-link that I ordered today. But I can't wait until the middle of next week when I turn the corner and see that big brown box there knowing I have parts here for the old truck.
Welcome to the group! Just checked out your pics. Love the dump truck! The Apache ain't bad either. Looking forward to having some fun (sometimes at your expense!) We kid around with each other, but we git-r-done! Let me apoligize in advance if I say anything that offends you in the future! (Watch out for Zig, he's certifiable!)
I just pulled my head out of my @$$ and found the pics you were talking about. Cool old dump truck man. How about that 1/2 ton in the back ground. What's the story on that. Original or the better way like me STREET ROD. (Just kiddin guys calm down ) I'd like to see more pics of it. Oh BTW welcome to our crazy little world of old trucks. We have a blast here.
The truck under the carport is a 54 GMC that im doing a ground up on. It has the deluxe cab with all the stainless. Was an original Hydromatic truck but that was all gone when I bought it. Had a 283 and 4 spd. The 283 is now in the fleetside replacing the tired old 235(sorry Nate!) I like the 292 sixes so it has one of them and a TH350, PS,PB. Also upgraded to an 4:10 pumkin. The 53 in the background of the pic is the next "hot rod". I'm trying to stay focused on one at a time.. Chris
411- That's a beauty! The colors remind me of my 64 that I had. (It turned into my 52 GMChevy) Awesome job, and welcome to the site! We'll do everything we can to delay your answers with off the wall banter! Enjoy! Have a cup of coffee!
Welcome Chris to the group Like Ken said we sometimes are not laughing at ya but with ya. Trucks look neat Some day's wish I had more then one But most days the one is enough
Late Welcome Wow Chris, that is a beaut... the old dump truck is classy. I ended up with 6 trucks ranging from 48 -53, don't know why I wanted more than one except I thought if one is this much fun, 6 would be hilarious . Welcome to the support group, never thought to call it that before but then you can see that I'm slow, it took me a few days to say HOWDY and WELCOME. I havent been on here long but these fellows recognized a real nutcase and pitched right in to help out. I guess it was out of the kindness of there heart or they are just plain crazy one. Anyway, keep us posted on what ya got and what ya doin,,, we love to druel Mine and the Boops (that's my daughter) trucks came from old farmers around this part of the country. I started out to do a few minor repairs on the Boops and it was down hill from there. Only been working on it for a little over a year and she's been patienly waiting. She's teaching me lots, she's my partner in crime. Welcome TBsD (The Boops Dad)
