Foxer Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 Nice job on the doors. That 6 belongs there on this workhorse truck ... no mater what work it's destined for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
impcon Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 (edited) Creative and gorgeous!!!! the six cylinder is the perfect fit whether stock or modified.. Have you considered doing something really off the wall and building another one of these in stock configuration complete with a Dairy or Bakery branding on the sides and back doors? This truck is nce but a stock one - well, it sure would be cute, to say the least! Something along these lines... http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7019/6718422351_25cf68ea60.jpg Edited March 9, 2014 by impcon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bartster Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Awesome ! That settles it, I'm building one. Well, gonna try something similar at least, LOL ! Excellent craftsmanship ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Geiger Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 Cool work as always Brett! I've been saving photos of this truck with the idea of building it someday. It probably started out as an REA or other delivery van, that was later repurposed by cutting out side windows for the knife sharpening operation. And yea, I'd be more likely to build it stock like this one than you would! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
