I bet her Uncle's name is Robert. We lived next door to Sweet Aroma. My back yard was next to their parking lot.

I didn't learn about your truck until I saw it in the "underhauling" workday pictures. It was then that I acquired about its owner because I had some questions about your suspension setup. I'm sad to say that I only found your thread tonight and had all my questions answered. I admire how close the central TN crew of C10 owners are! It's amazing how you all work together to accomplish each others goals with your trucks. You all really seem to be a nice and fun group of brothers. I wish I could find something like that in west central Alabama, but I digress. Going through your thread is an inspiration. I am starting a build and it can be overwhelming at times. Thank you for taking the time to post your hardships and victories. It's nice to see I'm not the only one who goes through it.

Thanks, man. It has been a great ride, and it's not over yet. Once I clear the hurdles of all of this moving stuff, I'll be able to get back to the business of truck projects. I've got some plans, too!

Can't wait to see those plans. I'm subscribed.

Yeah that's him! I will have to holler at y'all next time I'm in Shelbyville. I think we are going to some Christian fundraising car show there soon. I will prolly post a link on the Tennessee page. I definitely want to see Rusbuilt's dually in person.

[5150]

It's been sneaking up on me for 2 months now.

[Rusbuilt]

I got to talk with Matt this morning. I believe he's gonna make it Bryan.

[gdavis]

Hey man long time since I have been here. I guess you haven't made a trip to st. Pete, Fl. lately. But if you do stop by and see old patches. she is close to driving.

[cubber]

Thanks, Guys! I plan to be at the show next week.

Well, fellas, the truck is gone. It left Tuesday for it's new home in Alabama. I sure was sad to see it go, but sometimes life puts ya in a situation, and you just have to handle it the best way you can. With the new house and all it's renovation projects, long work hours, and looming medical bills, letting the truck go was the best option. I have to admit that I couldn't even watch it drive away. It's ok , though. I'm not out. I'll be able to build another one some day. When I do, I'll have all the things I learned building this one to help along the way. Better than that, though, I'll always have the friends I met through this site. Some of you are my brothers. Rus, Chuck, Jeff, and all the Tennessee crew were such a help on this project. I could never have completed it without y'all. I love every one of y'all. I won't ever forget the cold nights laying on the concrete in my shop at the old house, cussing the exhaust fitment, drilling 1000 holes, and drilling more holes. I also won't forget all the laughs we had as we built my dream truck piece by piece. This has truly been one of the best and most memorable experiences of my life. Thank you all.

Well, I guess I'll have some extra time now....might have to go up to Clarksville or Knoxvegas to find something to work on. Looking forward to it!

[JRANGER]

Well im sorry to hear that you had to let her go but glad you were able get her sold. Once you get another project let us know, be glad to help on the next one. Hope you get all the house hold projects in order brother.

[thelonerife]

all my rowdy truck friends have settled down.



I hope you get another truck soon. But your still my brother! Like it or not! lol

[rusty76]

At least we got this build in the low buck build threads! You've been a big supporter and for that I'm greatful. I can't wait to see another build one day. Keep us on the up and up.!

[flashed]

Sorry to hear you sold your truck ,I never got to see it in person but it was still one of my favorites .I will wait for the next one you build ,best of luck on the home projects .

[gdavis]

Matt I am sorry you sold the truck and it seems that you got what you wanted for the old girl. Keep in touch with me when ever you are in Fl. George

[cubber]

Been reading back through this build. I had so much fun and made some great friends. Man, I feel sick when I realize the truck isn't out in my garage anymore, and all I have is the 1969 original tag. I regret selling it. I miss working on it. I miss hanging out with the Three Amigos. This sucks. Don't ever sell your truck, if you can find any other option!
