Maude's chassis was one area where we did a lot of work. All new steering, suspension and disc brakes were done. We freshened up the 305 V8 and had the tranny shop rebuild a 700R.

Today the bottom of the cab will be solvent washed and sprayed with bedliner. The bodywork on the doors is well underway so the progress on Maude keeps the owner happy and us busy.

but this morning a few old truck parts were delivered. A buddy in Little Rock and I struck a deal on them and he brought up a trailer load. This load was 50's stuff and there is 2 more loads coming. Then a couple of loads of 60's stuff... geez, I need a bigger place. So soon, when its all separated and organized I will figure out what to do with it all... Bomp, I need your help, please...
HOLY SMOKES !!! I have got to come see this !

With that load of parts you can expand your empire and open a Man Cave gift shop at the end of the guide tour of the soon to become the World famous Tuba Trucks.

Ta2Don and I often share our trips around America and England with photos, or if we see interesting trucks and cars, via Whatsapp or iPhone messages.

Man that is going to be one lucky guy to be able to cruise that fine rig whenever he wants. Very nicely done my friend.

Looks fantastic Clem, Michael made a wise choice. I'll post some pictures (if Michael doesn't first) once it arrives on this side of the "pond"

These update photos just make me smile widely Clem.

Now we just need Kim to make a small video on her iPhone and then to send the video over to me, and I will upload it for you onto YouTube. Unless Pete has a YouTube account already.

That will surely make the rest of us spectators smile madly.

I believe the new owner will be wayyyy over the moon.
