did you grab any other shots of that Dodge L series that you could post up? I've never seen one before.

A bunch of nice rides! Gotta love the Ivo rig.

My work project...

mountie · 07-26-2018, 05:46 PM

A pair of D 700's.....

Both same year.... but the Goo$e put the next - year grill on his.

( I helped restore the white 'Cuda, some years ago in Orange County, Ca.)

Not the truck..... it was found later.

mountie · 07-26-2018, 05:52 PM

The yellow truck was originally painted in STP colors & used by Richard Petty before it was sold to the Snake.

From what I heard ( I won't divulge the source )..... Even though the trucks are history, ....the interior cab had at least as much..... "history"....

**special-K** · 07-26-2018, 07:32 PM

Very cool. The real trucks! Must be '67s and the one has a '68 grille. I had a '69 W200, which was first year for new hood but same grille as '68. Mine ended up with '68 sheet metal (cab and hood). My first frame-off truck

Next time someone says the 67-72 GM Trucks had rust issue you need to point out how old they are and rust happens to everything. That '69 Dodge cab was rusted out in '77 when I bought it. It was originally a 7up green color and had already had a repaint in '77 when I bought it. It was only 11 years old when I restored it, including a cab swap. Fords rusted before the GMs, too. The 67-72 GMs held up better than the 73-78s around here. dodge did built the badass 4wds back in the '69s though

KQQL IT · 07-29-2018, 05:46 PM

600 in El Mirage.

Forgot to mention the powers that be gave me another awesome bit of iron.

Last count I heard was 240
In 9 terminals on the west coast

**special-K** · 08-01-2018, 09:39 AM

Funny how all the way over here I would have no idea of them. That sounds like a solid company, I'd say.

I found more of my friend's C-series Ford "Hangman" in pictures of his place. We just finished putting a new roof on his shop and time for the ventilator

jumpsoffrock · 08-01-2018, 08:08 PM

^^^His wife is probably like, "He'll find any excuse to play with his toys....;I told him that roof needed to be done in 2007."

Girlfriend now and she has her own place. Not too shabby

Hey man, all the better for moving more stuff in. I remember when I was a kid I wanted a trash truck more than anything. With the hydraulic side arm........yeah,

**special-K** · 08-09-2018, 08:02 AM

Using The Hangman on a honey-do job. Chuck had plans to build a half-pipe for his son out of this cut-up fiberglass tank. Never happened and now Kate needed some shelter for her firewood she keeps in this old outbuilding foundation

**special-K** · 08-09-2018, 08:07 AM

We did both sides. I want them to do a real post and beam frame on the high side so we can do a roof across the middle. Have it all dry in there with room to split if need be.

RDrancher · 08-18-2018, 09:54 AM

The Hangman gives me the willies just a tad. I won't go into the details of the story and clutter up this thread, but lets just say that not remembering to latch the cab down can make for a very thrilling ride in the hills.

Back when I was searching for a dump truck I found this '64 Pete with a Cummins big cam transplant for sale. Out of immediate necessity (2 days to job start) I ended up buying a Western Star locally, but man...I really wanted to head to Montana and check this baby out.

**special-K** · 08-18-2018, 07:40 PM

So fine. Reality sucks! Western Stars aren't a bad thing though.

69 Big Block · 08-22-2018, 12:50 PM

This monster pulls oil well drilling rigs in the Kuwait desert! They have two of them. Jack and Jill!!! And yes, it was hot as heck that day. Was ready to get back into the shade for sure!!!

Those KW 953 are cool as hell. I'd love to see one of the new 963s in person, one of these days I should email them and see if they're building any...their Renton plant isn't far from me, but I don't know if those come out of there.
