I'm either doing some kind of old courrier, old school bus, or somekind of old panel for the next project. But that will be a ways away. I'm buying another vehicle in the next week or two that will take some of my time to get to the point I like it. It is all factory right now and with a few small things will be a nice vehicle to cruise/ show.

When/where is Dustoff? I'll try to make it if its not too far. I'd love to check out this machine in person.

Thanks. I'm trying to make a good thread for everyone to check out on a daily basis.
New ride is a secret until I have it in my possession. I'm sure everyone who likes this truck will like the new vehicle alot.

The bad thing is that the shocks only let it move soo much. Look at the pics with it on jack stands, notice that it barely untucks the tiny 14's with small tires.

Mapquest does not show the park for some reason.
This is about as close as I could get it to go. http://www.mapquest.com/directions/m...&2z=75159&2ah=

PSYKO_Inc · 04-10-2005, 08:17 PM

Cool thats only about 3 hours away, and I'll be on leave that weekend. I'll definately try to make it down for that one, if I'm not on the road. There's a slight possibility that I might be on my way to New Jersey, but so far I'm planning on leaving on the following Monday. Hope to see ya there with that badass LUV.

Street Trucks, Truckin, Tailgate, Sport Truck, and Street Source Mag will all be there.

PSYKO_Inc · 04-10-2005, 09:08 PM

Cool, sounds like a pretty big show. Unfortunately I have nothing to show (or worth showing at least) but maybe next year that'll change. By then I hope to have the '52 at least rolling, if not driving. Dunno if they'd consider it a "truck" or not tho (it was designed and built to haul things, sorta...) Anyways, I'll still head down there as a spectator this year. Sounds like it'll be a blast.

T Baggin S10 · 04-11-2005, 04:38 AM

It is free for all spectators, even with rain and some mud last year it was a really good show. The year before had some rain, but not too much, it progresses alot every year.

G2 Racer · 04-11-2005, 03:14 PM

Truck is looking 100x better then before.

PSYKO_Inc · 04-11-2005, 07:56 PM

I work for Comm as a network admin. I feel ya on the leave thing. I was stationed overseas for my first duty station too. Over the whole two years I was there, I took a total of 5 days of leave, and only because they made me do so(use/lose). Any idea when you'll be coming back?

***fetuss10*** · 04-11-2005, 08:08 PM

Hopefully July. Theres rumor of a redeployment of people getting back. I hope not. I'm burnt the **** out on playing soldier. I need to remember what a somewhat civlized life is.

I look at your thread regularly. I do not post everytime, buy I try to throw something in often.

gutlesswonder · 04-15-2005, 01:23 PM

my neighbor still ahs the stepside that he wants to sell. i got a good look at it the other day. the body is in great condition. the handles have been shaved and its got some seats in it. over all for what he wants its a good deal but i cant afford to take on another project right now. the paint is probably the worst though. its a charcoal metalic with turquoise and pink zig zags. the pin striping is all drippy if you look at it close. it has a buik v6 and runs good. i think he wants like $2500 for it. ill try to snap some pics for ya if you want

shade_tree_slmd · 04-15-2005, 03:58 PM

not to whore ur thread or anything but i saw this LUV outside the chow hall here in Iraq today and thot u might like it it's an 04-05 it is a colorado/canyon, with the overseas Isuzu front but over here it comes factory as seen in these pics w/ the LUV badge haha.

oh yeah, lets see some mo pics or ur build mang, u ever find out about that orange LUV?

I like the badges on it.
I'm going to do no more updates until after Dustoff (April 30th-May 1st)

I want people to see what a difference a few weeks of not seeing it will be like.

It should be worth the wait actually seeing paint on it, and it cleaned up really good.

But I may post an update or two before just because I love the feedback. Right now the plan is to keep what I'm doing a secret, which is not really anything besides straightening it and cleaning it up/ priming it.

quit trying to be like avtekk

j/k.. cant wait to see new pics tho!

SammyLJ · 04-16-2005, 04:01 PM

WOW!!!
I have to say that you have alot of dedication to this project!

you should send all the bondo you took off the truck back to the bondo people so they can see where all there profits went to... LOL

plus with all the bondo gone, you can take 2 seconds off your 1/4 mile time for all the weight you lost.

I have other things to work on, so I'm not going to get burnt out. I'll be working on something else, looking at it planning out what to do next.
When I finally do put the motor I want to put in it the bondo will not matter too much to be honest.

***fetuss10*** · 04-16-2005, 06:44 PM

Yeah the Untied States gave a shitload of these things to the Iraq Police. I believe over a hundred got stolen on the first day of distributing these out. BTW The LUV stands for light utility vehicle.

miself · 04-20-2005, 11:20 PM

anything new lately man?

***sdime98*** · 04-20-2005, 11:26 PM

Finished cutting off the drip rail, put the bed back on, cleaned the inside of the cab out. I'll post pics in a few days, I have been busy with the Blazer and the new ride, and a few other peoples vehicles.

I changed my mind for paint for dustoff. I'm going to go over everything with a wire wheel again and get it nice and smooth and leave it like that for the show. I'm most likely not going to touch the tailgate or lights, so I don't want to put any primer on it until th body is ready for it.

Crazygenius13 · 04-21-2005, 03:28 AM

sweet, I love having deadlines. It's the only way I get sh1t done on my truck.
P.s. I see pics of your LUV on like every damn myspace group

You like to show off!!! LOL

looks sweet. are you going to shave that body "dent" that goes under the bed rail? i think that would smoothen it out alot.

Most likely going with a new bed before I do any of that. I'm still not too sure about the bed.

yeah new bed would probably be best

T Baggin S10 · 04-26-2005, 03:12 PM

Definately. I may do a few things with this one, otherwise it will be used for scrap. Be nice to use some of the body line on the side of the bed in other parts of the truck, make a couch or big chair for the back patio, or just cut it up and make something funny.

T Baggin S10 · 04-29-2005, 03:19 AM

The truck will be at dustoff this weekend unless something drastic happens between now and then.

***Dragginbody*** · 04-29-2005, 04:32 AM

lookin good

T Baggin S10 · 05-03-2005, 02:15 PM

Dustoff...

T Baggin S10 · 05-03-2005, 02:30 PM

Time for an update...
Finally...
Big pile of crap (mostly wires) I pulled out of the teuck getting ready for dustoff...

Engine bay cleaned of all wiring and alot of other unnessecarry crap...

After spraying it off and drying it to get rid of all of the dust and stuff, about to go on the trailer...

thenephilm · 05-03-2005, 03:17 PM

miself · 05-03-2005, 04:48 PM

T Baggin S10 · 05-03-2005, 07:22 PM

Thanks. I may try to take it to Showfest in a week and a half if I can get a trailer and all again. I'm going to be working on my Cedes alot between now and then, so I may be able to take it so I can actually drag on the strip in my own ride.

Post them here for everyone to see.

I like the badges on it. I'm going to do no more updates until after Dustoff (April 30th-May 1st) I want people to see what a difference a few weeks of not seeing it will be like. It should be worth the wait actually seeing paint on it, and it cleaned up really good. But I may post an update or two before just because I love the feedback. Right now the plan is to keep what I'm doing a secret, which is not really anything besides straightening it and cleaning it up/ priming it.

I'll be working on something else, looking at it planning out what to do next. When I finally do put the motor I want to put in it the bondo will not matter too much to be honest.

I'll post pics in a few days, I have been busy with the Blazer and the new ride, and a few other peoples vehicles. I changed my mind for paint for dustoff. I'm going to go over everything with a wire wheel again and get it nice and smooth and leave it like that for the show. I'm most likely not going to touch the tailgate or lights, so I don't want to put any primer on it until th body is ready for it.

Most likely going with a new bed before I do any of that. I'm still not too sure about the bed.

I may do a few things with this one, otherwise it will be used for scrap. Be nice to use some of the body line on the side of the bed in other parts of the truck, make a couch or big chair for the back patio, or just cut it up and make something funny.
