the pete emblem was put on just to give it that old school look .

[Ben's Landscape]

It looks like you got a good deal. I am looking for a nice old truck like that but can't find any in RI

Does the parking brake not work?, since I see you have bricks under the left rear tire.

[M RASCOE&SONS]

i move the speakers i have to put something behind the rear tire.

The exterior looks great. The interior needs some work.

Any updates on this truck? I seen your other trucks you have sold. After all that work on your blue one to sell it.

How do you like shifting these old trucks. I'm glad my 77 ford is an auto.

[J&R Landscaping]

Does the vacum on the front affect your view at all?

[M RASCOE&SONS]

Does the vacum on the front affect your view at all?

yes it does,more so with this chevy over my dodge from last yr.i cant drive this with the new hose because it sits so high ,im gonna have to put it in the trailor or in the back of the other truck .:drinkup:

[LR3]

For future reference where did you get the hose and for how much? Great to see her all dressed up, the sign looks great. I have the same tubing running from the box to the loader. I sanded it, primed it and painted it red to match all the other stuff.

I told him to paint it red last year. Maybe he'll listen to you.:) Maybe black this time to match the truck.

hey buddy wuts up?go to advance power equipment in elyme on rte 1 and ask for lorry(she and her husband john are the best ),tell her you want the same as me (very rugged hose).its $23.90 per foot (its not the cheap stuff).they also had the $13.00 per foot but they were flimsy.if your at there store in morning by 9 ish it comes in the next day..im tempted to paint my hose ,shoot me some pics if you can and the process you went about doing it.:drinkup:

[M RASCOE&SONS]

gm what do you think of a nice red with "got leaves" in the middle in gold or mustard yellow ?maybe the number also:drinkup:

[LR3]

Cool, it's good to know in case I wind up with a hole in the rubber tube. Unforunately, I didn't take any pics for the painting of the tube, it was such a quick job that I didn't bother, but now I wished I had. lol As far as the process, I just sanded it with a coarse sandpaper to ensure the primer would stick because it was plastic and slick. After that, I primed it in black and spray painted it with a high gloss red. I had to put it on two cinder blocks and paint both sides and the top, let it dry, turned it over and painted what was left. I only have estimates to do this Friday and I'm free after 2:30 if you want some help. I have some spare sandpaper and extra primer if you need it.

[LR3]

OOpps!! I'm trying to post my new sign. I'll post it after a few mods.

[Furness & Sons L&L]

I love old chevys, that one is a beast , literally! Heres a pic of the two i have had over the years, wish i still had em but we all know how women are about our trucks, "you have to many trucks"
