  3. This one just went flat around 15 years ago and just slowly just fell apart
  4. I noticed that right away they looked unusually good
  5. Like the last photo Matt … bob
  6. Haha … you got us all beat Bubba have a ball with it and good luck. Yes, I’m sure most of us would like to have it if nothing else $$$$$$$$$ bob
  7. Yes, it’s amazing. It just turned out to be a small crack until I tried to get rid of the old repair yes I didn’t expect anything to be that big. I’m going to try to tape a chunk of plastic bottles underneath for a template.so to speak I’m done with it for this weekend thanks for the peptalk, Matt
  8. Excellent I didn’t think there was anything wrong with the paint!!!!! Like the chick man …. Bob
  9. Vlad should be able to tell you… better. He has one … I haven’t seen one around here in years…. .bob
  10. That thing looks pretty perfect from where I sit
  11. Not sure if a patch would do a whole lot thanks for your input Paul
  12. Definitely gonna have to do something with these things real soon every time I move the truck I’m dropping chunks of rubber all over
  13. dont usually pay much attention to these tires,,,actually just noticed yesterday just how bad a couple of them are getting,had to just start laughing,and thought my god,i dont think ive ever seen a tire that shedded in my life,,,, even the steel belts are breaking apart acually drove this truck home 30 years ago when i bought it,,buddy of mine followed me home in my 64 ford pickup bob
  14. Good luck hopefully you get a response but Stewart Warner still makes similar versions… bob
  15. Wow pretty cool shelf decoration like duck says 150 from what I’ve seen for similar items… bob
  16. Well, I woke up too late and no energy. Going to get out there and prepare the hole for the fiberglass I think that’s probably all I’ll do with it today but every little bit helps. I could beat the sun. if that’s possible I’ll go ahead and put the first coat on, but I don’t wanna rush anything as I mentioned. I slept a little later. Besides the truck had been neglected for many years. Glad to be out there at all spending a few minutes here and there there certainly better than nothing …Sunday your day of rest so I don’t feel guilty. Anyway I got quite a bit accomplished yesterday to make up for. It… bob
  17. Oh hell, I must’ve missed something. I thought it was already done. and yes, I’m right on the same page with the overdoing or underdoing. I do like the idea of the green and yellow combo stripes. Good luck, Matt.
  18. I really like the green one over here. The younger generation just buys plain white,Volvo and freight liner Nobody really does anything interesting except for cattle and hay wagons at least around here…. Bob
  19. Excellent thanks for that dean !!!!!! Looks like you found some pretty decent fenders let’s get going… bob
  20. Yes, I’m trying to get all that old shit out the last time. I think I rushed through the preparation and they initial first coat didn’t come out right … was was trying to beat the sun. .. all this extra work I did not expect still beats trying to hunt down sheet metal parts that are extinct and if you do find them a fortune and then the shipping is more than the price of the parts.. thanks for that and I appreciate the flowers ha ha that used to be an old CB line duck but I’m sure you’re too young to remember it… bob
  21. Hell, it took me an hour and a half just to prepare that one area of grinding…. Bob
  22. I’m going to plan my route a little bit more. Careful with this one spend more time with the backing before attempting to spread fiberglass… bob
  23. ok,,,here we go fellas,,digging myself another nice big hole,,,,doesnt matter,the more this old turkey,fights with me the stronger i get,and one more step ahead,,,when i first started working on this truck,i was only 38...and i swear this thing used to argue with me,about everything i did to it,,,,you might think this is crazy,,but i always imagined some old black guy,from the south,,,telling me,,,what are you trying to do to me,,,young fella,,im retired now,and just want to sit out here,and listen to birds chirp....bob
