Grizz1963 · 10-03-2017, 02:31 PM

Otto gets the vote.

**clemdaddy** · 10-10-2017, 06:38 AM

Thanks fellas...
Here we go again, the cruise-in/toy drive is this Saturday. Hope all our local friends as well as any willing to make the drive can join us for our 7th annual party.

scdude37 · 10-17-2017, 08:08 PM

Well this is an awesome page to follow. Glad to see someone remotely close to memphis tn where I'm located! Love all the work your shop does! Hope the turn out for the Toy drive went well.

jimmythompson1964 · 12-02-2017, 11:32 PM

I will be driving by your shop tomorrow, if I see you I will stop. You will most likely not be there on Sunday though.

You were right he was there getting it done... I got to see some of his work first hand

**clemdaddy** · 01-13-2018, 09:36 PM

A short update on the '52 3100 with a stake-bed. Currently running and driving, not on the street just around the place here. The running boards and hood are very close to paint and a few details on the interior still need attention but all in all, getting there.

Grizz1963 · 01-14-2018, 06:52 AM

Morning Clem.

That really is rather gorgeous.

Love the last photo.

uk54 · 01-14-2018, 08:07 AM

Hi Clem

That looks to be another beauty from Tuba Trucks

Thanks Grizz, I like the maroon color on this one and those directional turn signals are very hard to find. We hope to have the B52 finished this spring and take it to a few shows before letting her go.

Hi, Michael
Long time. I hope Tina is doing good and you are enjoying the ride. PM me when you can I would like to hear the details.

Here is an update on the Heirloom 64. The frame and control arms were powder coated and the finish is great. I will probably never spend the time or money cleaning, blasting and painting a frame again. It took only a week from dropping off a dirty greasy frame to picking up a beauty plus it was half the cost.
This SWB big window was originally a six with a manual 3 speed but we upgraded to a V8 and turbo 350. Also added power disc brakes and power steering. At this time all the metal work has been done on the cab and doors we just need to get the bodywork and priming done.

**Palf70Step** · 01-14-2018, 08:47 AM

Very Nice!

northern 85 · 01-14-2018, 09:53 AM

Yes, very nice work!!

Grizz1963 · 01-28-2018, 06:50 AM

Just checking in.

Stunning as always Clem.

**clemdaddy** · 05-03-2018, 02:24 PM

It has been a while since the last update and I want to catchup soon, just haven't had a break to do so. But for now here is a snapshot of the line up out front.

Thanks guys. We are running out of real estate over here. Just hope the city doesn't get in my face about having too many trucks in plain sight. Me personally, I like looking at them.

Thanks man, mostly the engines and trans are squirted with Duplicolor.

I appreciate all the comments guys and I hope to get out a more detailed posting soon.

**clemdaddy** · 07-24-2018, 10:30 AM

Sorry that its been so long but we had a few distractions recently but now, we're back at it...

Maude is very close with only a few electrical issues and some dialing in on the mechanics and that girl will be outahere.

B52 has only the bed boards to finish and she will be gone also. The bed will be quarter-sawn oak with walnut posts. Should be beautiful.

Also a forester green 50 model is well underway. Chassis built, engine built and now we're into paint. Huge amount of metal work and bodywork just to get to this point but the paint laid down good so we is happy, just rolled out of the booth today.

uk54 · 07-24-2018, 02:31 PM

Hi Clem, as usual all looking great, love those tailgate latches.

Michael
