Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?

On my 46 I used a late 70s floorshift column They have a linkage hookup but no shifter I hooked up the linkage and now have a truck with no shifter To shift you just turn the collar Any one who gets in it cannot figure how to put in gear Great theft deterrent

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?

I better clarify this; that's just a joke about having to kick my girlfriend to start her, I don't kick my dog either. My bike is an old Shovelhead and it does have to be kicked to start... Sometimes it takes lots of kicks.

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?

Made my own fender emblems. Surfaced them on the computer, then had the CNC guys machine them.


And I too have a shovelhead.

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?

Mine is a diesel short box 1/2 ton with bucket seats, all factory. Aftermarket wise it has a gear venders overdrive. I get 23 MPG. That's how I'm unique.

And I'm probably the only active member on this board running an Olds diesel.

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?

A CUCV actually running on the road around here is unique in itself, but we also put our shop logo on the side.

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?

Since I started the thread, I should probably add something.

I haven't added any personal touches to my truck yet to make it mine, but I will when I will when I get it going down the road!

One thing that I haven't seen a lot of is my conversion to 5 x 4.75" wheel bolt pattern.

As for mine.. I think the interior seat setup. I haven't really seen any like it yet since I've been here on the forum and looking at everyone else's trucks.


What brand is that folding bench/seat setup? Mine is similar it's from Classic truck of texas or something. I did modify it by painting the wood with 2K paint after smoothing it all and have custom leather seats w embroidery (also on doors and dash)

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?

Cummins engine with NV5600 6 speed transmission behind it. On top of that is a Gear Vendors.



Custom paint job.



Full power Italian leather Cadillac 60 Series seats. Only a handful of these seats were ever produced. And yes, they're extremely comfortable..

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?

What makes mine unique is the fact that I have more parts for it in my house then on the truck. But I love it

Re: What Makes Your Truck Unique?

I think mine being made into a roadster, the custom interior and many other small custom items, make it unique....Jim
