Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed

Thanks very much for checking me out!

Had a great weekend at the Drive In Barn, a Rockabilly weekender with market and carshow, all 40’s, 50’s and 60’s style.
Selling my art went better then I expected, have to make new art now
Due to my brainproblems I now have to relax to get rid of all the body pains, should be better in a few days. So time to check all of you out

My daughter has arranged a 10 day vacation to Crete in Greece, leaving next Friday, so I get my rest
Going there with my family and my sister in law with her two daughters, looking forward to that!

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed

Thank you All!!

Feeling better already, tomorrow we’re off to Crete.
Just wanted you to know, somebody wants to buy my truck...I said, only for a Trifive Chevy Nomad....
What do you think? He knows one
It’s a sort of a project, stands still around 25 years, complete Dutch registration.
So I told him, give me pics and a VIN of that car, then we will talk...

We will see what happens.
When you search for a Nomad, you know it’s out of my reach
I’ll keep you updated on this....

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed

Someone asked if I wanted to sell my truck (I don't) I said you can't afford it. One day someone might surprise me.

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed

Hi guys!
Few updates...

Had a great vacation in Crete

Nomad was sold just before me, the woman that sold it went right away off to the UK..
Was too good to be true...

Also, I’ve have a “new” Hot Rod shed, I’m moving. Remember my truck just didn’t fit in the shed?
Now I have some more space
I can fit my truck easily and my buddy’s ‘72 Suburban. And my sons ‘77 Mustang.
And my motorcycles
Plus have place to put in a large workbench and my lathe which is still at my home. Then I have everything in one place, better
I am busy with cleaning there and building my workspace.
There are three cars that should move out in the next week and a car ramp that I don’t want.
Where the car ramp is now it’s high enough to put your car in the air, the back space is much larger but only 7,5 foot high. High enough for me.
The whole space is a L-shape and about 100m2 (or about 1075 sq.foot)
Pictures are comming in the next week I hope.

Oh and healthwise I’m doing fine

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed

So, been slowly busy in my new Hot Rod Shed, we got it empty last Friday, all the things of other Owners are gone, cars are out, except for some windows.

I have build a new workbench at my working height (100cm, 3ft), installed 220V electrics and installed 380V electrics for the lathe. This we have to get from my house yet.

My buddy’s Suburban is already in it, so we can slowly get to work on that one.
My son’s Mustang is also in, for new radiator and rear shocks.
Already repaired a Harley in there, good to have some extra space!!

I also have to build a small motorcycle for a friends sister, no deadline on that one
Gonna be good wrenching in my new shed

Pic #1 as I got into the shed and cleaned a bit, this is a Wall of 23 fit long
Pic #2 the same wall, now workbench area
Pic #3 backcorner, made a storage wall for small parts out of old pallets
Pic #4 buddy’s ‘72 Sub inside for repairs
Pic #5 my son’s Mustang II, also for repair

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed

Hey Kees.
Your work bench and tool wall looks real good. Nice to have everything where you can get to them easily.
Is your truck going into the space where the suburban is now after it gets done?
Enjoy your new shop. It will be fun.

Earl

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed

Thanks for the kind words guys!

Earl, the Sub will stay for a while, the Mustang is my son’s car, that will be repaired and hit the road again.
My truck will fit in also, from where the last picture is taken, is some 20 feet by almost 10 feet, say a 1 car garage. But when I have to do things to my truck it must stand where the Mustang is, then I can get around with no problem (when the Sub is still in).

For me this is really a very nice space, only “bad” point, is that it isn’t high.
Where you come in, the 1 car garage so to speak, has a high roof tho..
If the body and brain allows I will be here often

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed

Thank you Doug! There are coming a few cool projects in the near future

Today I got the upper radiator brackets done of the Mustang. It barely fits in there had to modify the front slightly and the radiator to get it in.
It is not an original radiator, I only could buy one from the states, costs me a whopping €600 to my door...so we opted for an universal race radiator, slightly bigger overall. Also we put in two 10” electric fans and a new transmission cooler.
Pic #1 the old and new. You can hardly see that the new one is a bit bigger/wider
Pic #2 and 3 how it fits in the car
Pic #4 homemade upper bracket
Pic #5 where you enter, through the one car garage, picture taken from the front of the Mustang, so you have an idea how the place is (I hope)

Re: Dutch '59 Fleetside Longbed

Been busy cleaning the shed between work
Lathe is finally in, so now we have everything in one place.
A few things to do, such as extra electrical sockets and a few extra lights on the ceiling.

All parts for the mustang are here now, we can slowly get to work...
Let the fun begin!!
