Great looking build Al. I love that you paid homage to Chuck, and built it in his style. He does great work, and you have done a nice job on the patina. I always particularly enjoy builds with a little back story…

Cheers, Steve

Looks great, glad you sanded off that eye sore cab molding. Looks like a surplus ex Navy truck, the government bought a lot of those base model Flaresides in the 60's.

Back at ya dude.  Your UFO truck looks similar to the truck I drove on the flight line when I was in the service.

I'm well and truly humbled, but I see an Al Rich style truck. And I mean that as a complement. Be proud of that. :D It's certainly a great deal more interesting than the Chevy Astro UFO hunter I've been piddling with. 

The trade must have happened a long time ago because I don't recall trading one of these. Must have been one I robbed of the straight six because I seem to remember having a few extra straight sixes kicking around ages ago. ?

That’s great. He has a style of his own, for sure. Nice work. We should have a forum category on here called Chuck Most.
