Customs Does Anybody Remember This Truck??

I saw that truck cruising around downey..........1999-2001 or around there somewhere. Some old bato drivin it and i was way curious of wut it was. This thread answered my curiosity.
Thanks

 

BTT...any progress on this ol girl?

 

I was curious about any updates as well, I followed this from Riksters Fotki site. What an awesome story.

Well.... Here we are in 2011.............. Did the truck ever get done? Sure hated to see this thread peter out after all this reading. I'll bet there's a ton of guys out there also wondering how this GREAt story is going bto end. `

 

First time I have seen this article and yes it needs to be updated if possible. I guess this is one of my all time favorite articles I have read on the Hamb site. To find an old custom is one thing but to find the original builder and his family is another. To be able to get the real facts on the build from the builder/owner is incredible to say the least and to top it all off all the printed articles, books and information is over the top.

 

Sorry Hambers! not too much as of now for updates still trying to finish another car first but soon i am planning to get started on this project I wanna get it running and driveable first then drive it for a while then tear down for a complete resto! in candy red as promised to my Dear friend Roy Delaney R.I.P.

 

This is really an amazing story. I don’t know how I missed this one. Thanks compa short for starting this super thread and to Conrad, keep up the good work with the restoration.

 

Wow! This is the first time I have seen this thread. Freakin' AMAZING! Goosebumps and everything!

This story obviously isn't over yet. Be sure to keep us updated. I'll be looking forward with great interest.

 

Saw thus thread linked on Rik's sight...what an amazing story! Looking forward to the next chapter!

 

Priceless.

 

Would like to know updated info on truck...Would like to get this truck back in the family. Any info would be great.

 

I just read this for the first time and know a lot of people in the Lewiston/Clarkston valley that knew Roy.
A year or so ago I purchased a Model A roadster pickup that he built back in the day and is pretty much untouched with the exception of the lettering on the doors. It has the original engine from this truck in it and runs like a Swiss watch.
It looks exactly the same as it did as entered in the Spokane Auto Boat Speed Show in 1973.

 

That RPU is a great time capsule, I love the little camper shell on it!

 

ha ! My Mom's kitchen has that very wall paneling in the dinette area.. Yep 70's !

 

its been 12 years. did mr bomba ever do anything?

 

LOL, I was thinking that it smelled like my neighbors new 1970 Nashua park model trailer when it was new!

 

Not sure, I was wondering the same thing as well.

 

It may be best if he did nothing. He was talking about putting a Pinto/ Mustang II front steering on it.
