Re: tuba trucks

This sweet 54 deluxe got a complete make-over in 2 and a half months time. Engine overhaul, clutch, bed boards, wheels and tires, grill, interior, stereo… the list goes on. All for a great guy who has owned it since high school many years ago. The deadline was based on driving her in a St. Patricks Day parade on Friday up in northern Missouri. Made it… but just barely, rolled out yesterday afternoon. Very happy customer…

Re: tuba trucks

Morning Clem !!

That is one spectacular finish to the truck.

I love the last photo you posted.

Kind of summarises the whole Tuba Trucks experience.

Well done.

Re: tuba trucks

WOW, what a truck!

It may not have looked that good new. Completed in two and half months sounds like a record of some kind too.

Will look great in any parade but being green it is very fitting for a St. Patrick's Day parade.

Re: tuba trucks

Back a few pages ago a 65 standard cab, one time Texaco fleet truck, came to us for a redo. A cool older lady owned and was in love with her truck named 'Maude'. There were a few bumps in the road and progress got delayed some but slowly and steadily Maude came back. Now sporting a fresh repaint the cab is bolted to the frame, doors were hung and the inners were installed. Maude is starting to look like a truck again.

Thanks Rian… damn we miss you buddy.


The shop has been working on a few 50's models for a while now and we have one of our own in the works. It' been redubbed 'B-52'. A 6' flat bed cut down from 10' with all the running lights, spot light, giant stop light, 3:55 rear gear, dual brake cylinder and whatever else we can find out back. It should be a fun shop truck though driving one is like steering a boat while sitting on a park bench…

Here's the second episode of 'B-52'

Re: tuba trucks

Bomp… Rian, you guys are crazy. Kindred stuff right there.

Aprils report.
Nothing big happened this month, just a bunch of seemingly slow production on some cool new shop projects. First off, we've been working on a 63 roadster for a nice ol' guy who just wants it brought sorta back and drivable for his grandkids. We overhauled the 327 added a new clutch pack plus a few other requested safety features, like a major brake upgrade and fresh interior. More on this as it continues…
We also undertook a much later model Chev., a 79 Scottsdale, which is in for paint and interior but after sitting for 20 years, it doesn't seem to be running right. Hopefully we can figure out the mechanics while the bodywork happens.

Re: tuba trucks

April report part 2.
A guy came to us about a year ago with a 66 Ford custom that he wanted a complete frame-up restoration. He requested a motor and the under hood to be restored plus a complete interior like original but he wanted a patina exterior. OK, we can do it. He has come over almost every Sunday since and worked on his truck and he is the main reason that this build had become so enjoyable, an involved customer, gotta love it.
Also this month… Maude got her fenders and the hood is next… And Mark's 50 got blown apart for a resto.

Re: tuba trucks

April report part 3
This month we added to the herd a 60 stepper with a great grill and hood and a perfect windshield. Also we got a big window and high hump cab from our favorite salvage guy, thanks Eddie, and no, we didn't even ask about Ford stuff.
