That is one beautiful truck, one of the best on the board IMO... I may be a little biased though.

Hopefully mine can look half that good by the time it gets on the road.

This particular picture does not really do this truck any justice at all.

Looks to me like it was taken at the Super Chevy Show in San Antonio last September. This is one Gorgeous truck. That Cameo parked next to Jesse's was real sharp too. I was at this Show with my 59 Elky and was parked directly behind Jesse. He won a killer arward at that show. He also just finished the truck days before. nice guy. My son wants that color on the 64 short/wide I just acquired. Next time I see him, I gotta ask him what color it is.

The Detail inside and out is just incredible-----It is NOT a trailered truck. He has driven it to every show that he (and I) have attended.

Re: Lets sEEEEEE those swEEt six thrEEE'S

Those are 17's. I have lowered it a few more inches since that pic. The reason for the trailer is that the cruise was about 60 miles away and 3 mpg just doesnt cut it.

Re: Lets sEEEEEE those swEEt six thrEEE'S

No problem...I had a set on a juiced 65 one time that cracked @ the stock spring location....It had a very mild hydro set-up too. Actually an old man owned the truck, and just dumped it in the weeds at shows.

Anyway....boxing would be good, as well as new ones. Let me know how high the lock-up is in the rear. I plan to run my bags way 'up-stream' too.

Looking good man

John

Re: Lets sEEEEEE those swEEt six thrEEE'S

Will do, I will measure it with it laid out and aired up when I have a chance. I belive it is getting around 12 inches of travel if I remember correctly.

Re: Lets sEEEEEE those swEEt six thrEEE'S

You mean me?

That's just a stock, '63-issue stock truck column with a Deluxe truck steering wheel. Nothing too special.

Glad you like it, though.
