This weekend at the 17th Good Guys PPG nationals we got to debut the old truck finally! We were right up against getting it wrapped up Thursday night before we left Friday morning.
I had 0 expectations for the weekend and was just glad to have it there, I entered it Saturday morning in the Trick Truck class to see what would happen. Just so happens at noon on Saturday I was awarded with the 2014 Truck of the Year Late Finalist! I could not and still can't believe that happened! I am very thankful for all the support on here!

widewhite70 · 07-13-2014, 08:57 PM

Here are couple FINALLY!!! hahaha
Sikkens Mediterranean Blue Metallic would be the color

widewhite70 · 07-13-2014, 09:01 PM

How about a little curly maple bed wood and tilt bed floor

widewhite70 · 07-13-2014, 09:04 PM

The leather and suede upholstery by DJ's turned out great!

widewhite70 · 07-13-2014, 09:07 PM

Wow stunning truck. What did you use for the exhaust tips on your side exhaust, I love the look of it and have been trying to come up with the best way to run side exhaust on my dropmembered 68.

smbrouss70 · 07-14-2014, 12:25 AM

Looks great!

Thank you! Those are actually made out of 7/8'' aluminum. We made a set originally out of stainless sheet and welded it together, they weren't quite perfect so I know a guy who ran a water jet table. Took the stainless to him and he cut the aluminum ones out.
You could check out some companies that sell boat parts though, they sell exhaust tips that mount to a boat hull that would work about the same.

mikeleeshields · 07-14-2014, 07:18 AM

Again like I said on Facebook absolutely stunning in person. The suspension was killer not to mention everything else. Hopefully you won can award yesterday. Unfortunately I didn't see you around your truck when I was there to see it. Maybe we will meet up sometime only about 2 hours from each other. Good luck the test of the show season.

Thanks for the info Calvin, I started looking at some boat exhaust tips too, just trying to figure out what I want to do. I really like the way yours looks. If you don't mind, if you get a chance can you take a close up pic of the tip for me?

Thank you! I wish I had been around, I appreciate the kinds words. We will have to try to meet up at some point for sure.
I did end up winning the Truck of the Year Finalist award Saturday so that was awesome news!

Not a problem at all, I'm glad to help whenever I can. It's still in the trailer but we should get it unloaded this week and I will get a couple of good ones for you.
