We have outgrown our facility as it stands now. We have increased our inventory to better serve our customers, so we are running out of room!! We have started a 16' X 48' expantion off the back of our shop to make room for our increased inventory. WES www.ClassicHeartberat.com

tomatocity · 07-19-2005, 02:53 PM

heck WES you probably are going to make that garage parking for your fleet. let me see, you can put four rollup doors on the back and one on each side. yep we can cram them in there.

shifty · 07-19-2005, 02:57 PM

Congratulations Wes! Say.........does that back door lock?

Bob Moore · 07-19-2005, 08:29 PM

Congrats Wes but where is the open house going to be? Looks like the addition will take up the Bar-B-Que and picnic area(just kidding). Couldn't be happening to a nicer guy.

Rod · 07-19-2005, 10:05 PM

I'll take that backhoe out of your way if you need it gone. Congrats on the expansion. Rod

Glad to see you are growing also.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 07-20-2005, 01:00 AM

Thanks everyone.. Things are realy hectic right now and the stress level went up 10 octives... I also added another 6 trucks to our inventory... I will have lots of used parts for sale soon. 2 67 chev long beds, 1 68 BB camper special, 1 68 GMC nearly rust free project A/C truck, 1 68 Short bed fleet V-8 truck, and 1 69 1/2 ton long bed chevy. My parking area is cramed almost full and no place to put them all!! Nice projects here and nice cabs too.. I may get some pictures tomoro. Now it's time to go watch the news...lol WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

**Classic Heartbeat** · 07-20-2005, 01:05 AM

By the way, does anyone know anything about the Borg Warner T-10 4 speed? Are they any good? I somehow got one of those with aluminum bell housing in the mix..lol WES

86swb · 07-20-2005, 07:25 AM

Wes, I have had many of these in past years and always had good luck with them. So seems like good transmissions to me. By the way, do you have insurance on all these trucks you have and tags? I have a hard enough time with the three I have and the Jeep Liberty my wife has. Man, do you ever have an understanding wife. My wife was OK up to the three I have. If I got another classic truck or car I would have to build me one of them "dog houses".

**Classic Heartbeat** · 07-20-2005, 11:46 AM

I don't drive them all. Most are projects and a couple of parts trucks. I just tag and insure the 3 or 4 that I drive on a regular basis. The way that my insurance is set up is that it follows me to which ever truck that I drive. Just the Garden Truck has additional insurance to cover the value. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

Richard Dobson · 07-20-2005, 12:12 PM

I had a 59 vette when I was 19 yrs old with a T-10, not to date my age but it was before I was drafted into the Army. I as you would imagine flogged the heck out of it, and it survived quite a use-test.

67ChevyRedneck · 07-20-2005, 12:20 PM

Congrats on your expansion Wes! I was curious if you hit up any of the shows on the east side! I doubt it, that's a long haul. I know shipping parts is killer, and if your gonna be at a show nearby (especially carlisle) I could use some of yer new fancy zinc 67 front fenders

**Classic Heartbeat** · 07-20-2005, 12:30 PM

Thanks for the info on the tranny.. Sounds like it might be a good one to hang onto for a future project..lol
67ChevyRedneck, Yes that is kind of a real long haul... Although I have always thought that I would like to see the show at Carlile.. I could have your fenders drop shipped from New Jersey to save you a bunch on shipping. WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

67ChevyRedneck · 07-20-2005, 01:55 PM

I'm actually located in greenville SC (about 2 hrs from either columbia SC or charlotte NC), my pops and I are going to try to meet at carlisle this year (he lives in southwestern NY, or do you mean they would come from NJ to me? If you could bring a big enough trailer, I'm sure you could do very well at carlisle

I did not know you could do that. Guess I never asked. Hmmm. Sounds like the right way for you to go.

**Classic Heartbeat** · 07-20-2005, 02:34 PM

67ChevyRedneck, Yes they wiuld ship strait from New Jersey to you. The gas alone would eat up all the proffits... Then the motel bill and lost sales because I had to be so far from my shop.. I would love to go and meet up with some of you east coast truck guys, but it just isn't feasible at this time..
68swb, A couple of my freinds and myself have insurance that does that. It was just too expencive the other way..lol WES www.ClassicHeartbeat.com

Wes, I am sure you ment 86swb. You just have the 60's and '70's in your mine most of the time. I would like to have a 68swb. But my wifie is not like yours, she says three is enought.

Is there really enought? I am not really sure.

By the way. I love the pictures and I really love your "playground". (all the trucks, boats est.)

**Classic Heartbeat** · 07-20-2005, 06:37 PM

oops, your right, sorry about that 86swb. I need to ust the ole copy and past a little more..lol. The yard is kind of fun to look around in also.. The problem is, I am running out of space for our customers....
