wow, I am sorry...

If you want me to delete the thread for you I will. Just keep in mind if you do sell it that the thread will most likely help you with the value you sell it for.

Let me know if you want my help deleting it. Again, sorry for what you're going through

sgtusmc · 02-25-2011, 06:02 PM

I too I'm sorry for what your going through. It really sucks man. Just throw'n this out there...may be you could change the build thread name to...screw her this is MY build! Build the truck for yourself, and drive the wheels off it.

I like the way you think my friend. I like the way you think. That sounds like a great idea.

*R.A.D* · 02-25-2011, 06:50 PM

yeah do let her win. seems like you were enjoying this truck if you give it up she win's persevere. women are like buses, there is always another one around the corner but a good truck with your own personal build......

OrrieG · 02-25-2011, 08:32 PM

Sorry for you situation. I'm with sgt on this too.

xpickup · 02-25-2011, 11:00 PM

Tuned55. Sorry about your problem. I'm with everybody else keep the truck. It's too nice of a start to get rid of.

Shannon

ChuckDriver · 02-25-2011, 11:13 PM

Build it!

Russell Ashley · 02-26-2011, 09:17 AM

Sorry to hear about your situation. My oldest son went through that situation about six years ago. It was unpleasant then but has turned out to be a blessing for him. You still might get the last laugh if it hasn't progressed beyound the "on line" stage, when she finds out he doesn't look anything like the pics he sent her, LOL.

The truck is really trick. Don't stop on that.

Groyd · 02-26-2011, 10:31 AM

I've told multiple people who care nothing about trucks about this build. You have to finish it. It is going to be incredible. Prayers for you and your family.

Tuned55 · 06-06-2011, 12:14 AM

Sorry for posting my "Life issues" here a few months back. I'm back on this build full time starting tomorrow morning. I'll post some pics as I move forward.

Thaks for all you kind words.

Good deal man, this is going to be a sweet ride!

Kabwe · 06-06-2011, 03:35 PM

Hey Bruce,

I have not heard from you in a while, but its good to know you are keeping the truck and going to finish the build. I hope all is well with you.

Groyd · 06-06-2011, 08:36 PM

Good to hear that you're back at it.

I wasn't looking forward to having to drive to Utah and figure out how steal and tow back to Oklahoma a half built truck. Waaaaaay to much work for me.

xpickup · 06-06-2011, 09:44 PM

Glad to hear you are working on it again. It is going to be a great looking and running truck.

Shannon

*R.A.D* · 06-18-2011, 10:05 PM

how are we doing?

pgf545 · 06-19-2011, 12:02 AM

What is that gas tank filler off of? I was thinking about grafting a remote latching type gas filler on my dad's truck. I like the float look as opposed to the one with the finger hole/bump....whatever you call it. I had actually given some thought into building my own by just cutting the circle in the fender and building some sort of hinge and latch mechanism.

Bernie

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 06-26-2011, 10:02 PM

Good looking ride keep up the good work..

Tuned55 · 06-26-2011, 11:59 PM

Sorry I guess I didn't see the email notifications to this thread. Herte's a quick update. I have the front sheet metal all hung and mounted. Radiator & condenser along with the HVAC system all installed. Just need to crimp lines. Took me a couple day but I have the inner fenders fabricated and installed. I'm on the doors at the moment. I have the power windows in but the door actuators for the power locks are too weak so I ordered another set. My plan is to make some sheet metal door panels and double the inside cab wall behind the seats and recess the 700w Kicker 5 channel amp and some small storage compartments in the cab corners. About a 1/2 dozen small items and then onto body work and paint.
I'll takes some pics tomorrow and post em.

Thanks for your interest

Hi Bernie

Sorry for the slow reply. You can get that filler assembly from Speedway. I found mine on eBay for a few dollars less. I's kind cool. You push the lid to open it and just push the fuel nozzle through the cap.
