jakebrake86 Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I thought I heard that the man restoring Waylon's truck passed away? Quote Jake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAD DOG Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 I was down to Charlie's Place in the spring for a visit and he was working on one of the sleepers and he told me a bit of history on the B77. The truck was totally dismantled and he had RM Restorations making some pieces for the cab that you couldn't buy, he had a want ad on the forum around that time looking for rubber stoppers for the brake pedal I don't know if he found any or not. I was talking to another member of Great Lakes Truck Club at a club event before Christmas who stops at his shop frequently and he told me it's coming together. The truck is being done about 45 min away from where I live I should take a trip down for a visit and see how it's coming. I know one thing when Charlie gets done with it it will be better than it was new. Him and his crew do awesome work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superdog Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 According to what I saw on Facebook,the Evel Mack is now in Kansas . They had several posts looking for a better cab. I tried to find out what happened to the short bunk Western F they had found to cannibalize but musta been a sore subject,never got a response. I'd love to have it.

BAD DOG Posted January 18, 2014 Share Posted January 18, 2014 No Jakebreak 86 he didn't pass away. His son Waylon passed away the end of nov. 2012. Waylon is the one sitting in the truck in the photo. Charlie is standing along side the truck. He was only 32. But he left a big legacy behind.

57 bcr Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Cool story,Mark. Got to see him myself at the Puyallup Fair (Washington State) while I was in the ARMY (1985). Great concert!

gearhead204 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I hope shooter gets that truck to some truck shows I think it would be a real conversation piece and a great tribute to both waylons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddog13407 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 shooter doesn't deserve that truck. saw him on youtube in a sing along with Hank Jr and one of m favorites Jamie Johnson. shooter didn't even know the words to his fathers song. what a joke. Waylon is one of my favorites of all time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
