The Snortin' bull

[62stepside longbox]

That's a great idea, I think I'm gonna have to get myself a classic looking cup holder

[namloc]

Got the truck at local long standing shop in the Seattle area.They have been there since 1933. Gettin' the Bull tune dialed in. Aligned and checked over.

[namloc]

Even though the cab is tight and rust free.The corner supports had a thud sound to them.They where packed solid with dirt.It bugged for sometime .Both side's now have extra drain's.

[namloc]

Having time to rack the truck up in the air has been a relief the whole build had been on the ground.

[namloc]

The truck got aligned and preliminary tuned for the break in period. Than will retune the engine after around 500 miles, Got about 65 miles on the clock this week and The Snortin bull had it's first event today.An NSRA inspection day.

[namloc]

Got 250 miles on it this past weeks. Doing so tuning and running a wide band to watch tune.,The Snortin' Bull has ball's flat out hual's. Moved the front license plate up, it looked like a tongue hanging out and cuaght the ground often.Parked next to my S-Duty it makes ford's look ugly.

It may not be no LS engine though it is a project that did need one.As much as possible was all day's gone by in thought.

I meant to say not a project for an LS style engine as this was all done with old style thought,

Got a spare tailgate from a buddy today.I got a plan for it.Not sure what the previous owner was doing with it.Check out the bracket's bolted to it.No pivot's or chain lock tab's.

Wonder if he was attempting to make a porch couch out of it?

Possibly i found it at a buddie's scrap yard in where alot of crafty artsy people live near out in the woods. Thought about all week i dont know what it could of been for?

Been on the road driving for the most part of two week's. Truck is parked out back in the alley behind our shop. Guy's keep seeing it and asking if it's for sale.It make's me fell good to know these rig's we are building are publically liked.

This is always good news.

Both financially and more importantly..... Emotionally, to know what you have and are doing is noticed.

I think these trucks are definitely getting more attention now.

The tailgate idea is great for your style truck.

I want to find the letters off a Stepside tailgate for the same reason.

Thank's Grizz, I have put a lot of different vehicle's together and this truck on the street's grab's eye's and discussion .I had a fella and his wife block an intersection just to talk about The Snortin' bull.

Looks great!
Someone asking if your trucks for sale is an ego stroke for sure!

[namloc]

The right door relay to latch was a problem.It kept jambing.In the past if you look hard a sheet metal screw was used to hold the pivot together.This flexed and trapped everbody as it would not release latch. Had to get a new one. At the same putting a lock cylinder in rh o/s handle.

That spare tailgate, was it an idea similar to this perhaps?
I saw this and thought it was kind of cool.
Would one way to utilize a bad tailgate.

Ronzo . That is it's future. I was going to use some louver's though this tailgate came along.
