Re: Shucks First Build

I have followed this since the beginning and just went back to the first post. I must say I am very impressed with the finished truck. I have been doing body work for 45 years and am very impressed with the fact that you have first of all stuck with it to the finish and then finished it with such high end results. You should be very proud of yourself. You have learned a hobby and a trade. If you need a job you have rolling proof of your talent. A rolling resume.

Thanks! And thanks for the kind words cape, means a lot!

Pretty much all buttoned up besides fun stuff I want in the cab. But I'm happy with it the way it is!

Re: Shucks First Build

Now I wonder how the tailgate would look with the letters painted to match the wheels? You know they are never really finished.

Exactly my thought. Except I wondered about pin stripe around the letters that color.

Re: Shucks First Build

It's looking great! One question though, where did you get the grill with the emblem?

Re: Shucks First Build

So photobucket decided to make me pay for photos and unfortunately I'm not paying so, all the pictures are gone from this point on.... bummer.

Re: Shucks First Build

You did a great job on this truck. You should be proud! Those of us that followed along remember all the work you put in. But hopefully you still have access to the pictures and you can do your own "photo" album for this project.

I feel you pain on what photosuckit did, all of my builds in my signature are nearly worthless now. My "Henry" build is my first one that I am doing differently with pictures loaded directly from my PC to the thread.

You should be able to download the albums from Photobucket and then re-host them however you choose, that's what I did.

Unfortunately this forum doesn't allow older post editing.

Re: Shucks First Build

I have an LED strip between the tailgate and roll pan.

I still have all my photos but they just want me to pay to share them on a website. And I have all the photos printed and in an album, that's what I really wanted.

But thanks for the complements. It's a ton of fun to have!!!

Re: Shucks First Build

Here's some more pictures, noting really has changed except me fixing things that I kinda threw together to get it going. I absolutely love this truck and it sure has people looking as it drives by and the people love to come over and talk to me at the gas stations. It's just a blast to have. Here's some pictures I had stored up on my phone.

Re: Shucks First Build

Very nice work! Not enough built stepsides out there and your's looks great. I'm really liking the rim/tire combo. Did you end up with the size rims and tires you mentioned a few pages back?
