Wow you are a sucker..... SMH

Good news I sold it, made a bunch of money and did it again on the Syborg Truck.

Now the new truck you just bought for Alex is very nice. Anymore details you want to share about the truck.

It's all complete and just needs to be blown apart and finished. So guess Dad is now building Alex his first "hot rod". He can use it for his business... and it gives me something to do.

Very cool! Still a soft spot in my heart for the 47-53 Trucks, but I'd probably never build another "nice" one. If I ever have another it would be a beater/patina shop truck version!

You're a good dad no matter what Alex keeps telling people.

I love old pickups.

Cool truck! My first "hot rod" was a series 1 55 five window. I bought it from the owners of the Blue Moon in Seattle, wish I still had the doors with the pin up girl sitting in the moon!
Remember R&B's? I sold the truck to go on the Americruise they led with my brother in his 56 Dodge.....Seattle to Illinois, camping or sleeping in the bed, meeting the up and coming Troy Trepanier, Billy Gibbons and Cadzilla....oh the memories!

I'm sure Alex will enjoy it, a bit diiferent then what he's into now....come to think of it, CF splitter, rear diffuser, running board/ground effects some 19's......:confused59:

Same truck that's on ebay right now?

So Greg, will this truck get built at Sun Valley Performance, or are you gonna drop it off at RS, etc? The grille on that beauty is worth is bundle, by itself.

I had a '56 Ford P/U as a teen and loved it - and I had a '53 Chevy hot rod P/U... and of course the '40 is "up next". Yeah - a pick up is so handy to have... I'm really surprised more people haven't caught on.

This truck might be done about the time he gets out of prison.

Probably went on eBay 5 minutes after the guy got the wire transfer... since he has my money - the truck and the title. :badidea: :drowninga: :catfight: :lostmarbles: :bitchslap:

It'll be done at South Central Idaho branch of The Roadster Shop.... i.e., my dump. I can do it all expect the upholstery.... and Gwen is happiest when I have a project.
