What type of truck do you have, and got any pics? | | | | | Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 112 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 112 | | | | | | Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 135 Member | | Member Joined: Jul 2005 Posts: 135 | I can understand why. Great truck. Saw one similar a while back for $2500. It goes by where I work so I know it is a dependable work truck. Tempting.

I saw that truck in a couple of other posts, but didn't put the two of you together.
Again, congratulations! After seeing the pics, I think that's likely just the beginning of your awards. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 41 Member | | Member Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 41 | Congratulations, what a beautiful truck!

That has got to be a great feeling! Your truck looks super! Thanks for sharing, you have a lot to be proud of!
Rick | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 483 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 483 | oldno3 what a shame that the trailer queens can't talk to us old timer's about how and what problems they ran into when restoring there trucks or cars I love talking to a fellow restoration expert that works on there on truck/car./What a shame that car clubs don't see it....I respect a poor man's truck more than a profesional job.The poor mans truck/ car will always and I repeate always get my vote. DDROCKINRODS here in the DFW area is an orginazitation that allows care clubs to dictate who gets the awards.As far as I'm concerned if DDRockinrods is putting on a show I'm not going , cause I know it's rigged. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 47 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 47 |

I'm from Keller. Moved to wilderness 8 years ago and I know exactly what you mean. Even lost out in the '50 and older original trucks class to a '64 Chevelle SS. Figure that one!!

I'm from Keller. Moved to wilderness 8 years ago and I know exactly what you mean. Even lost out in the '50 and older original trucks class to a '64 Chevelle SS. Figure that one!! That's why I quit even considering the posibility of any award or trophy at shows and cruises. I just do it for the fun of it. I get to meet nice folks, see kool rides and get out of the house for a bit. But there's (as a general rule) too much politicking going on as far as "winners" are concerned. One of my favorites was where a guy had bought an old 69 Rolls, slapped a Maaco paint job on it and a 20,000 watt stereo and entered it as a "fully restored 1929 Rolls Royce." Yep. 29. And the judges bought it and gave him best of show. I even pointed out the year of manufacture on the data plate under the hood, but to no avail. That's when I decided that the best trophies were stone chips and worn tires. Btw, olno3fan, I don't want to diminish your award. You have a gorgeous truck and you deserve recognition. My point is just that the world ain't fair and it ain't never gonna change. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 262 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2006 Posts: 262 | ChevyAsylum,
You hit the nail on the head! Around here they don't judge at shows. It's "I'll vote for you if you vote for me". I gave up going to shows. I just go to ones where I know I'll have a good time and meet some good people. Let the trophy hunters have thier popularity contests. On the other hand, to Oldno3fan, congrats on the win. Looks like you deserved it. Does do the ego a little good to go home with some well deserved hardware.

Those are PRICELESS. | | |
