It was featured on the Spike TV show, "Trucks"/"Powerblock" on December 26,2010! The last show of the year! What an honor to it's late owner! I added a couple of pics, it's an awesome ride! |
Re: "All Out Original 72"
Very very sad about Tommy's passing. He was way too young. Never got to tell him in person how much I loved his Truck. Probably my favorite Classic Truck ever. Didn't know it got featured on Powerblock. That's great!

They are 8 or 10 inch, on a Chevy Colorado rear end with a 4 link and coilovers.
I wanted to Armorall the tire treads in that pic, and they said it wouldn't show...I did get to play with Courtney's ruby red shoes from Paris, she's more than meets the eye for sure, she's not reading from a monitor, she reads the lines for a few minutes before the take, and has it memorized that quick! Amazing, I've never met anyone with that kinda memory. |
Re: "All Out Original 72"
She could ride in my truck anyday! :lol:
BTW. Did I hear ya say you are working on another 72? |

Yes, I am building one like this for someone. Medium green, and white, but with a wood floor this time. It should be as nice, or better than the last I hope! Already have most everything for it, so it should go pretty fast, the weather isn't cooperating very well right now! I need to get the frame home from the blaster...

Re: "All Out Original 72"
You got another build thread for the other 72 you are building?
Got my 68 in Dad's garage right now. Been putting the wood floor back in it. |
Re: "All Out Original 72"
That was the coolest thread I have ever seen. Your build was truly outstanding. I love they way these trucks look when they are all original. Great job and god bless.

This truck will have a wood floor, Cypress, I'm still debating on painting it, the wood was supposed to be painted either black, or the color of the truck. I'm building this one to compete for an AACA Senior title, so it needs to be painted... |

Re: "All Out Original 72"
Well, it is pretty easy to pickout the finest details on your '72. It starts at the front bumper and ends at the rear bumper, then start at the ground and go upt o the roof. See? Simple! ;)

Re: "All Out Original 72"
I picked up some old weathered barnwood on a job in Georgia and had a family member that owns a cabinet shop over in Cottontown to plane it down, cut it to length, and cut the grooves in it. Turned out great for my build. Just letting you know in case you decide to do your own wood instead of buying it.

Re: "All Out Original 72"
Hey Roadracer where are you I am in Pulaski, TN, there is a member here on the board with an NOS wood floor I will find his info and PM you.
What town are you in I would love to stop by and get some ideas I am in a debate with myself about the metal work my local guy here is saying give him a day and I have stoped in and talked with another forum member about doing the work but he is a couple hundred miles away. Nothing beats good prep work. Any ideas where a man can find good NOS parts I am always looking. West |
