good luck gettin' the truck together,REVOLT sounds like a new song for ya bob ,can't wait for the video !!

 

You can do it!

 

Front end on...... Using only old parts on this one... Lots of old chrome..

 

awesome.

 

What are the plans for it? Motor, trans, etc? This is going to be sweet watching you throw an early Ford truck together a week before the Revolution.

The question isn't what Bob Bleed is capable of doing.. It's what Bob Bleed is incapable of doing because that's much more harder to answer.

 

Rad.

 

Chrome will get ya home!

 

Believe me, I am nothing special...... I can't even walk without falling down.... I fall down alot, more than average for sure!

I do have good friends, so together we are going to build a really neat little truck, using mostly old parts, in a week or so...... So far its been fun, but there are some long nights ahead! AND we are filming it all for Pierocakes...

So the little truck saga continues.... Many of you remember the white one, which I had to sell to complete the move to Texas...... of all the cars I have had, I miss that one the most.... I cried when I sold it... It has a good home, but damn I loved that little truck.....

Then there was the blue one..... it was an amazing survivor... It had an updated drivetrain, so it was super easy to drive.... but I just wasn't into it... it diddn't serve the purpose I needed it for... I couldn't use it as a work truck because I was scared to damage the paint... I drove it everyday I had it.....

I traded the Blue truck for a 32 five window project, and then sold that to get my 3 window...... the coolest part, is I kept the caddy engine from the white truck and now it is going in the 3 window with a blower.....

So then this red one came up for sale and it reminded me of the white one.... Old hot rod, chopped back in the day.... its pretty cool! So the plan is to get it on the road and drive it for a while and refine it..... then probally sell it to finish the coupe in a year or something........ but who knows.... in the meantime, its pretty much fun!

I have collected a bunch of neat parts for it so I think we can put it all together as if it had always been that way.... I will update this a few times a day until we get it done.


The best part of this build, is how it was delivered.... Last winter Tuck and Johnny came down to help out at the shop for a few weeks, It was january and I asked if they could make a detour to pick up the truck on the way. I figured they would be using a truck to tow it..... but in typical Kanadian fashion they pulled it down behind Tuck's Ranchero with his single axle trailer. It was AWESOME!

They ran into crazy snow storms, and it took them forever, but they made it... Complete RULERS! I love those ****ers.

So Tuck drove the Ranchero from Canada in the middle of winter, and even though he still had to drive all the way home, he was easily talked into donuts...... haha

 

As they say--That BOBBLEED is one bad muthaf@cker!!

 

I'll never forget the first time I saw the white truck-

Waukesha Expo, in the swap section, these two guys were headed towards the exit gate in a pretty rough looking 4 door 62-ish Ford product with no windshield, everybody had stopped to watch and see if these two daredevils were actually going to head out onto Northview Rd and get some bugs in their teeth...

Lo and behold, the motor died right before they made it to the gate...

Out of nowhere, up pulls this 'Knight in Patina'd Armor' truck to save the day...

That was for sure the most bad-*** hot rod truck to ever grace Waukesha.

 

very exited to see this build, good luck

 

This is gonna be fun to watch! Go Bob GO!

 

Cool!

 

Slow day after thanksgiving.... But we got the ****** bolted up to the engine...... 1950 Olds engine and toploader trans..... I have a bunch of old chrome stuff for it.... And an edmunds 2x2...... Hope it runs!

 

Young Potsie got the 1934 Chevy truck dash narrowed...... It's gonna work put awesome! The original dash was ****ed.

 

Good luck on the build and have a blast doin it with your buds. I remember seeing your white one every year at Jefferson swap. Man I really dug that truck and all the other rides you had in that building every year

 

Sweet motor. You sure have some neat stuff sitting around.
