NICE Look!!!! Welcome to the site!!!

CodyHicks · 12-22-2014, 07:27 AM

Thanks everyone, I had the truck 7 months, it already had the front clip and LS motor in it. I work out of state 14 days+\- then I'm home the same so my spare time is limited. He wasn't in a hurry for it so I took my time. Mine will be very similar.
Here are all my rides.

I dig what you did with the thunderheader ... it de-modernizes it on the bike. I've since moved south from Weirs Beach but the tag on my "Hydraglide" softail was "SLED" - had it for MANY YEARS.

Truck looks great too.

Thank you. May be headed your way for the warmth in the winter.

Thanks Jim.

I used a French headlight kit from Hagen. You can find them at several different hot rod part retailers.

Cody,

I have a '51 3600...throw a build thread up so we can follow your progress! The Jimmy was incredible!!

solidaxel · 12-28-2014, 07:32 PM

Welcome from So. Arizona
It looks like you will fit right in here with your "new" truck and your wonderful skills, are you looking for a 5.3 for your new truck!!!!

CodyHicks · 12-31-2014, 12:55 AM

I'll have a build thread. Finally got caught up from the holidays and got my truck unloaded and n the shop. Pick up my S10 frame tomorrow. Just gonna use the front clip and rear end. Scrap the rest.

mud.man.rj · 12-31-2014, 01:20 AM

Another cool build begins, oh ya.

oldnslow · 01-03-2015, 12:24 PM

I found this picture of my truck on a local cruise night website, much better than any I have taken!

**oldman3** · 01-03-2015, 12:51 PM

Cool pic and truck...Jim

The next time we will see it, will it be red??

oldnslow · 01-03-2015, 05:09 PM

Oh yeah, it's at the paint shop now, the painter, Jason Ohl, is getting help from Ken Kennedy with panel fit. My buddy Terry Memmel and I built the truck and assembled it in his garage. We didn't take much time with panel fit, as evidenced by the hood opening on the way to Columbus! I am sending my best set of grill bars as well as some other small parts to chrome, and making a couple changes in the interior. This truck has taken a long time and I can't wait to see it finished, rather than a bunch of ideas rattling around in my head!

ChuckDriver · 01-03-2015, 08:03 PM

Can't wait to see her in red!

Bob -

Your being too hard on yourself. I saw the truck in person and the gaps and panel fitment looks better than most.

Looking forward to seeing it shinny.
