Mike this thread needs more pictures! Where are the scenic shots of her on the road? :)

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

I will get some soon. I'm thinking about doing a fall cruise through the hills. :)

My wife and I drove ole red to the city the other day. Here is some pictures I shot while I was there.

We stopped for lunch and parked next to this old classic Suburban.

Talamena Drive! Man, that would be an awesome little drive with that beautiful truck

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

That's what I was thinking too. Just have to get the free time in my schedule.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Nice pics Mike! I can't believe you didn't offer to buy the wheels from the burb? :lol:

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Scenic pics of downtown/skyscraper? What, no old barn out there in OK :mm:

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Thanks Ryan. I was hoping to see the owner. It pretty rare to see our vintage trucks around here.

Re: 1969 Short Wide

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Thanks Jason. Glad you like them, even if they aren't the same old barn background pics seen everywhere. ;)
Thanks Dean
Thanks jlansborn, I will keep taking them. I really like driving the old truck so I can see more in the near future. :chevy:

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Loved the Pics on your Web Site Mike!! Real Real Awesome Work!!!

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Mike your truck really is amazing! Do you ever go out to your truck and just smile real big? I would if it was mine. You did a awesome job!

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Thanks Chris for the complement and thanks for checking out my build.

Thanks Scott, yeah I grin every time I go out to the shop and look at it. It's pretty hard not to do look backs when I park it anywhere :)
I have some plans to make it a little cooler in the future. Just going to have to save up my pennys to get it done.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Truck, shmuck. ;) What's happenin with the shop? Gotta get my case of shop envy all revved up!

(Still love the truck, too.)

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Well, I didn't make my goal of Oct. ground breaking. I am still working out the logistics. Not 100% sure of where I'm building it either. I have a few options but the place I really want it, the land is really sloped. So I will need to bring in fill. It will happen, but like everything I do not the quickest.....

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Great to see you finally driving this bad boy mike looks outstanding

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Thanks Al, appreciate the kind words,..

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

What's next on the to-do list, Mike?

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Hey Joey, Not a whole lot on my truck and I haven't started on the new building yet. Lot of setbacks on that project.

I installed new upper and lower radiator hoses last week. I didn't get any pics. For the record both hoses were new when I originally installed them but, I nicked the upper hose when I was test running the engine and the I had to build an adapter for the lower hose to go from the LS size to the big block radiator on the lower hose.
I am going to be installing the headliner this month. Other than the occasional fun drive I haven't got to drive it as much as I would like. Crappy weather here every time I make plans for a good long drive.....

Here is a pic of my truck at work last Wednesday:

This rear bumper is what my good friend Crash_OK and I have been working on the last month or so:

This will get some work in the shop soon, My nephew Member (Harley guy) new project. We will be installing a full Porterbuilt suspension.:

Re: 1969 Short Wide
 

Very cool.
Do you already have a headliner? I have a brand new one and have decided not to run one. Also have new trim to go around it.
Love your truck and had to look around to find your thread so I just wanted to bump it to the top. =)
