Too redneck to be a lowrider.

That's alright rednecks are cool too.

Trucks cool ether way.

65Custom · 01-10-2013, 02:08 PM

I think it looks the way you did it is the best, and the photo shop pic looks good too

Agreed! I wouldn't change a thing except maybe a set of aftermarket wheels.

Thanks Jeff.

Not much progress, but I did change out the sand in the blast cabinet with black diamond media, and what a difference. Sand isn't a good idea anyways for several reasons. Other than health reasons, it turns to powder and I can't see anything inside the cabinet. I'd have to stop and let the dust clear. Now I can blast for a while.

I blasted my bumper fillers, that's the only progress on the truck so far.

For those that might have noticed, I'm not a mod any more per my request. During the past few months I have not been able to dedicate the time to be an effective moderator. Liz stated I can be a mod again when time permits.

Since your cab is still on my trailer I can pull you around in your cab.

greg65 · 02-04-2013, 11:35 PM

Good enough. I can lean back and leave the driving to you.

I would like too drive the truck out your way one day if I ever get the time. Then head to tallapoosa to cruise where I cruised in high school.

greg65 · 02-04-2013, 11:53 PM

I want to do the same but I would be driving back in Alabama. It will be a long time before I am to that point.

I got to play a little with a small TIG welder today. Shannon brought it over to see if I like it or not. We will try some sheet metal tomorrow. I am by no means a TIG welder, but it doesn't look too bad.

Inverter · 02-28-2013, 02:30 AM

Alan,
You are an inspiration to all. This truck is an incredible example of clean & precise skill and experience. Im glad I got to see it come together.

Its beautiful.

Strodder · 02-28-2013, 10:30 AM

I could really use a Tig Welder at times. Will you be buying one soon?

aggie91 · 02-28-2013, 11:45 AM

I would love to get a TIG welder. I had looked at one of these and almost bought one. I held off for now to finish other items that are more important than getting a new welder now.

https://www.thermadyne.com/Thermal%2...3in1/index.php

These machines can do DC TIG, MIG and Stick. If you are not going to do any Aluminum TIG welding, this is a great machine. I think you can add a spool gun for the MIG to do Aluminum. You would need an AC TIG to do Aluminum correctly.

I've been eyeing one a buddy has that has a lot of the bells and whistles. Shannon brought this one home for me to try. I really don't need one right now, but if it's a deal.

Thanks for the link and info. I'll check it out. You are correct as far as aluminum goes.

aspiringthomas · 03-04-2013, 03:58 PM

I like that tailgate. You have a lot of good ideas that I may try on my 65 C10.

I couldn't remember for sure if I've seen it before. Since you posted your pix I remember now going thru your thread. Thanks for the pix. Nice work.

There seems to be alot of room for the linkage. There is a big cavity all the way across the top.
