    In the order I built them

    Ford 1957 panel wagon in a Pontiac Forest Green with baby moons and Mickey Thompsons. Original body lines and bumpers. Chevy 350 3 speed column shift tied to a Saginaw IIRC.

    1954 Dodge 1/2 ton Step Side with bat wing hood, in another Pontiac color (A Teal) that you'd find on their mid 60's Lemans and Tempest. Motor out of a Dodge Coronet, Super Red Ram Wedge with 2 4 barrel Carters setting off set over the valve covers (Pre Hemi). 1-1/2 ton International 4 speed tranny with a mud gear that would pull your house off it's foundation.

    1962 Chevy Step Side brought up from Muscle Shoals, Alabama. Side spare tire carrier all original exterior. 4 speed Hurst tied to a 409 and IIRC 3.73 rear gear.

    All brakes were upgraded for the time, power steering added along with generator look, but Alternator inside conversion.

    I would have LOVED to chain up to your straight cut Coaster !!


    Sold them all off to race 10' Hydro boats. Outboard Max 65hp class. GVW Invaders. Fixed planers. Quite the Rush running 65hp up and down rivers in a 10' boat with maybe 1 1/2' foot in the water on plane. Always stuck with the long shaft late 70's John-Rudes. Spent some afternoons stuck on top of the bank after missing a curve and many sleepless nights at a hotel parking lot rebuilding lower units.

    Bubba that truck...... Keep dancing on that trigger Bob
