I like the fact that you don't mind working it too
I've hauled engines, sheet metal and all kinds of stuff with my 37 like many others on here have done theirs.

Putting it to work like an actual truck

I really miss having a truck! Yours turned out really nice!!!

After 1 1/2 months in Arizona, it's time to bring the Herc back home before it snows... Going to make a few changes for better cruising next summer, poly suspension bushings to replace the heims - they are positive but transmit too much road noise - 2.75 rear gear to make the granny low 1st gear usable and lower RPMs on the highway - and most likely upgrading to a 390 with the Thumper cam I have. The old 360 gets it around but having sat in a field for 20 yrs before I revived it has given it a thirst for oil...
Pics from Arizona and on the road thru Washington, finally back home in B.C. just in time, it snowed last night!

Following along with your builds and travels is like a mini series. So much fun.

I look at Herc and can't believe it was flat sheet metal just a few short months ago.

How long is the box?

 

[zzrodder]

Thanks Bob, it's been a lot of fun putting around in Arizona with it, put on about 2500 miles just driving around Yuma. The box is 64" long, don't ask me why, it just ended up that way...

Nice! did you build the others ZZ?

 

[zzrodder]

Thanks! The Hennway pickup I built 17 yrs ago, the Hercules is kind of its hillbilly brother
The T bucket golf cart I built in 2017 or so, the other cart is JoAnn's lifted Club Car.

Very Cool ZZ....figured so!

 

[DozerII]

Looking good ZZ, sounds like a solid plan for the upgrades.[P[P

 

[Rockable]

Looking good but I KNOW you're going back to AZ. Right?

 

[zzrodder]

Looking good but I KNOW you're going back to AZ. Right?

Oh yeah I am! Have to spread out my time in the US being only allowed 6 months there a year. Heading back after Christmas, gives some time to wet sand the clear on the Packard in between snow shovelling.....

 

[lowbudget50]

Looks good!!!!

We still have no snow on the ground here, just an increasing layer of frost. Funny that you have snow before we do here.

I bet Herc will be happy with his upgrades!

 

[zzrodder]

The snow went away, the sun almost made an appearance and the roads were sorta dry, time to take Hercules out for a putt around its home town before the weather really gets ugly...
Pics in front of Gray Monk Winery and by Okanagan Lake in Okanagan Centre B.C. just a couple miles from my place.

Great pics!
