That truck is ridiculous, the craftsmanship that went into that thing is first class it's only a matter of time before we see it on the cover of classic trucks and a show winner it's that good.

smokedat · 02-07-2010, 02:26 PM

no doubt about it one hot damm truck

Driveway Dreams · 02-07-2010, 02:31 PM

I love watching this truck come along. It really makes me miss working in the street rod shop though. Have you considered painting the switches tan to match and help them blend in a little better?

OJOE · 02-07-2010, 04:19 PM

this is one nice a$$ truck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hot trux · 02-08-2010, 07:49 PM

Thanks for the comments!! Still trying to come up with a name for it , something tha has six letters (personalized plate) TRUKN-A

Driveway Dreams · 02-08-2010, 07:57 PM

Maybe you could do Red Rocket and shorten it for a plate to ROKET. Just the first thing that came to mind. Or you could do 85STEP or STPOFF

72BlckButy · 02-08-2010, 09:32 PM

I like TRKN-A.

SQRBDY

STLTRPN

Of course there's always - HOTTRUX or HOT TRX

**lolife99** · 03-14-2010, 06:11 PM

I stopped by to see Jeff today and took a few more pics.
Jeff removed the aliuminum panels on the doors and dash and sent them off to be polished.
Also the tailgate is now on.
(It was hard to get a good picture due to the light reflection of the opened garage door)
The only piece left to paint is the hood. And it will have a cool mod done to it also.
The air ride is complete and I actually got to hear it run.
Jeffs truck should debut this year at the Magic Dragon Street Meet at Lake Ozark, MO the first weekend in May.
It's really, REALLY, nice.

Ger · 03-15-2010, 08:03 PM
