There's no brand name on the paperwork, just M&M Motors. That's the used car lot that sold it. I'll look at the carport itself tomorrow and see if I see a name.

I agree, some of those fiberglass wave panels that were used for roofs back in the day would be easy to screw to the uprights and give you some side protection. Some use tarps but one good storm and they are shredded. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Popular Post tjc transport Posted August 10 Popular Post Share Posted August 10 the fiberglass panels are about 4 times the cost of metal panels. i did roofs on lean too sheds for equipment at the yard last fall. i was going to buy the fiberglass panels until i saw price. $43 each for fiberglass compared to $11 each for painted steel. i needed 50 panels, 10 12 footers and 40 16 footers. $550 compared to $2150 is a no brainer to go with metal. 5 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Freightrain Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 Wow...never priced them. I'm just now trying to justify $2000 for replacing 12 PCs of privacy fence. Geesh. Fence, 4x4s and concrete. Let alone renting a bobcat with hole drill(I'm not doing it by hand). 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

I would stay with that and move thinking to the hubs Brocky mentioned. Dark green is expected to suit the general style. But these red hubs make a sort of especiallity. That small red B67 truck parked in Gladys (or in that area) with green hubs looked starnge by the first view but kept attractiveness. 2 Quote Никогда не бывает слишком много грузовиков! leversole 11.2012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They’re selling the house. All we got is a chicken wire fence in between these days. You never know what you’re gonna get so I’m just going to put up 6 foot redwood pickets and not have to worry about anything Not sure it’s probably not gonna be cheap but we do know a guy… hopefully he’s still doing it … he … was very reasonable… bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We got turned on to a Mexican handyman around here. The guy works real cheap and does great work as I mentioned. I’m hoping he still does it. Last thing he did was about 60 feet for six grand.

Mean Green Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 OD I kinda like the look of your truck with the bumper off almost like they go too much going on with the grille and fender guards Maby just a black bumper and a small guard like a b model has for the rad just my 2 cents . keep up the good work truck is looking great ! 2 Quote If your going to be a bear be a grizzly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brocky Posted August 27 Share Posted August 27 I am going to suggest just a plain steel bumper painted the same light green.. That way it would match the light green visor and the light green across the back of the cab?????? 1 Quote Brocky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that's a thought🤔! Zina wanted to take the grill guard off from the start, but it's all welded together, so it's one piece. Heavy too- very heavy! I just got back from dropping the radiator off at a shop in Danville. Real nice guy there, said he was 77 years old and has been there since he was 13. Only works until noon, but he said he would have it done this week. 11 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Freightrain Posted September 9 Share Posted September 9 Ya, hate to pay too cheap and have it fall over in 5 yrs. This fence has been there 25 yrs. The poles aren't hateful,but the fence panels are weak and falling apart. I don't want to try using the old post at this point. Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................

Popular Post Joey Mack Posted September 12 Popular Post Share Posted September 12 I just scored a great deal in my mind...

Joey Mack Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 nothing now, I was going to separate it and put it in a tote, and set it out back with my other engines and tranny's. It has a gear reduction starter and a new fan clutch, so I will pull those for my '77 C-30... I'm buying any good deal and hoarding. I dont have another Chevy to put it in yet.. I have a 400 SB in a tote and a TH-350 that I rebuilt, and a Saganaw 3spd, from a '59 corvette.. Why do you ask? just curious.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
