klink, its the same rubber stuff on the ends of your wrenches and pliers but it comes in a spray can. Basically spray on rubber. Yep - a bunch of guys in the BMW Mini world plasti-dip all kinds of exterior parts. Somebody even did their entire car. It was done so heavily a few years ago that...

Haha :D

Proauctioneer, is there a name for that bull bar piece you fabbed up? Clever idea to work with the thick framing. Beginner question, please feel free to PM me so I don't derail this thread but performance wise are the thicker beefier S-10 components an advantage or disadvantage than say a...

I didn't win... It was a shock. :p

$4.05 93 Premium Lived in Europe for quite a few years. This is peanuts guys. ;)

Riiiiiight, because that engine lift and welder are each great for so many other things. [cl

Wow. Thanks guys! Quite a few more responses than I was expecting. [cl I'm collecting quite a few images in order to pair down to what I like - I want to be able to hear myself think and not give my dog an aneurism due to cabin noise. I take him everywhere. A bit of comfort would be nice too -...

1 ticket here! A whole dollar. Some 70-75 cents around here goes to the local school system. I'm cool with that. :cool:

I am back. Was on this site end of 2010 soaking up the information and trying to figure out how to/what to acquire in fulfilling the dream of having an old pick'em up truck. Met a heck of a lot of cool people here - wonder if they are still around. What happened? Well, we had a car die on us...

Love the proportions of both!!!!! the smithies build (lower) has been on my damn cool look list for a few years -first time seeing the other. Now that you guys have drawn my eye to it I can't help but stare at the huge frame rails out front. [S Thanks :D

I'm not a fan of the 'bay but its helped me out as a type of catalog to see what styles are out there. There is a nice almost complete '49 project for sale out here - nice to my beginner eyes anyway. Sits on an s-10 frame. Price seems a little low tho for what you are getting which makes we...

Good advice, really appreciate it. I'm looking around. Noticing more and more cars hitting the classifieds as we get closer to warm weather. I have a weak spot for 40's pickups - but am keeping my options open. I'll find something and keep you guys updated. There is a swap meet here in April...

Hey adam - Here's ours. http://www.facebook.com/editalbum.php?new#!/photo.php?pid=35024&id=100000773765268 I learned how to post a photo on facebook because of this post. [cl

Damn impressive work Ole Blue. [;)

Oh boy - sitting at home showing my awesome wife several possible pickups I like which are for sale and she hits me with, "is that big enough for Jones?" Jones is our husky/lab mix dog. We take him everywhere. We're very active outdoor types and he's got the life. He is our kid before we have...

Nice, I was hoping this subject would pull all of the truckers out of their hiding places. I had been eyeing this truck on ebay out in CA (naturally other side of the continent from me). With some sanding work and a nice darker stain this bed would look really nice. I'd also slam the stance...

who says I would get rid of it? :D Just curious if I'd be buying myself into a hole of hardship and $$$ in order to put on a proper bed if I want to - have seen some beautiful wood beds around - I like yours. Just keeping my options open.

ain't that the truth. [cl

Hey Sam - thank you, this is what I've been picking up around here. Originally I was thinking only IFS for obvious steering/draveability reasons but I understand that since these simpler, pickups in my case, are so much lighter do to the [;) chopped cab, shortened frame & bed etc, there isn't...

Question for all of you guys - how much of a pain in the a** is it to remove steal flat beds from 40's pickups and replace with a standard bed? Crazy money for someone to do it or a couple cases of beer? ;)
