That is one nice looking truck.......i agree looks great 40yrs on thats a great find.
Would look good parked on my driveway back here in the U.K.

They look nice on my truck now I cleaned and repainted them....I will try and post some photo's over the weekend.

Great looking truck John....a lot of hours but well worth it, I like the seat upholstery...great choice of colour.

Hi Clayton
Great pics of your past trucks...they look really cool mate. Remember those vent frames you sent over to the U.K. for me for my truck
did they come from one of the trucks in the pics?
Hope you are keeping well.
Dave

Thats great Randy
I can undestand your excitement..i am just about to receive some parts sent by Kim in which i have had a bit of trouble finding, i am like a kid waiting for christmas

Yes mate your right let's hope it continue's

Hi Randy I have just put a post on the General chit chat page praising three fellow members who got parts to the U.K. for me,i had guys who were going to help me but did'nt then i had a guy who said the part's were parceled up ready for shipping but he never got back to me :banghead ,i understand th...

Hi fellow sweptliners I just want to say a big thankyou to these guy's in giving their time and effort in helping me get part's to the U.K.,they are trooper's and i can't thank them enough. dodgeboykim cudaboy & skyrodder666 who helped me out around 18 months ago. Cheers lad's you deserve some prais...

Hi I wonder if any of you guys can help in anyway i have a friend who has bought a 1969 A100 van which he is having shipped here to the U.K. he is after driver & passenger front doors the bottoms are a bit rotted out on the one's on the van. The van is due to leave Seattle in 2 weeks time :idea it w...

Could be Aussie or south African, i'm in the U.K. and round the corner from me there is a 67 Ford F series pickup righthand drive the guy told me it has a straight six and was from South Africa.

I want to start my build thread so i am in the process of getting some pic's together, hopefully i will make a start before the weekend

:goodpost You have a good point there David, the fading factor!, sunshine and regular washes,not that we get anywhere near as much sun as you do but the washing is very often. I mean't to say in my last post that i thought :idea the satin black would be an easier job for myself to do as it is not gl...

your probably right mate iv'e thought of a few colour's to paint it, but i agree with you and my wife the red and cream look's nice.
I'm having second thoughts now so don't be surprised if i keep the same colour's.

Yes Seff
It probably would,but then again size is'nt important is it?

Yeah! as you know we love American motors over here even tho our road's are narrower than in the state's. We never have any problem's with the size we just adapt,we have load's of the Jap pickup's like yourselve's i would say my truck is 6-8" wider but that's fine. My mate has got a beautiful 68 Dod...

That has completely transformed that wheel look's nice with that white pinstripe tyre.
What are you going to do now are you going to put some dogdish hubcap's on or put a nice shiny aluminium centre cap on? would look nice either way mate.
Keep up the good work.

This engine could do with a clean up,it sounds great but them S U carbs that sit on top take some tuning up, i could convert to Holley or Edlebrock but that is'nt cheap so i will leave it as is for now. These engine's are pretty much sort after nowaday's with kitcar builder's it is a really nice set...

Hey Clayton! Good to hear from you, so at last i have some pic's on the website, now and again a slant 6 will turn up but not very often 318's are more easier to get as they are put into a wider range of Dodge. This Rover 3500 engine is a Buick engine with the changes that Rover made to it,it really...

This truck used to belong to U.S.A.F. it probably spent most of it's time in Oxfordshire or in Suffolk/ Norfolk area's at U.S.airforce base's.
The slant 6 has long gone it is now powered by a smallblock Rover V8 ,it sound's nice and it is pretty quick.

That's completely ruined the look of that truck,was you smokin wackybacky the night before you put that bumper on?
