Customs Lets see some custom /lead sled trucks..

The Ford panel converted to roofless suburban has been around the best part of the last 10 years, at least, it was satin tan with huge Krazy Kreation lettered on its sides, which is the shop that originally built it.
I have some pics of it in that guise from an old Bo Huff open house somewhere, just need to find'em.
This pic is from about two months ago just after it got done.
It is truly awesome.

 

Seems like only yesterday The Gambino crew was working on this beauty!

 

Man I never thought the color gold could look soooo fine!

Many nice examples of it on this thread that are done very well.

 

My favorite factory stock custom truck... I know this is not even close to a custom but god I love the looks of this one right out of the box!

 

Adam,

What is that shade in the rear window- '55-'56 grille center, aftermarket, hand-made?

Thanks, Bill

 

John DeJeer (who built it originally) bought it back from Cutty, I assume he still has it-

 

Is Danny selling his truck? I met him last summer here in Kansas. Cool guy and cool truck.

 

/\/\/\ I agree, that is a nice looking truck.

 

F100 1/2 ton long box mild custom, except the ISCA puts it in the Full Truck category due to the numerous modifications.

Some are quite obvious, others are so subtle they get missed by the "experts".

 

is that two questions?

as for the the blinds, they were found randomly. (long story)
but I know the homie Ruben @ Auto Venetian Blinds sells a set for the tri-five gangster windows...google them.

 

Here's one that's been around a long time and is done to perfection. The owner brings it to almost every P.O.C.I. convention.

 

cool trucks!

 

Here is a take on a low rider custom Chevy, pretty cool.

 

My former 48 Chevy started as a car but ended up a kustom truck

 

one of my favorite f100s
1 really dig the color combo

 

Here is my custom truck in the works. Maybe six more months of metal work, then I can tear it down to start the body work.

 

Thank you Hotrodsurfer, much appreciated.

 

65standard- amazing grill…i want to hang it on my wall

 

Nice job pancaking the hood. The grill is cool. Gonna chrome it?

 

Really dig it so i enlarged the picture. Has a hoover feel with the low lights as someone said on another thread.

 

Yep...Fahrner's "Eclipse" really knocked my socks off in the early sixties.
One of the little pages mags paired it against the "Ala Kart" (another stunner) in an article titled "Which is Best? East or West?", and held a reader's vote. The Ala Kart won. I preferred The Eclipse.

I particularly liked the abbreviated rear fenders (in conjunction with the running boards),
molded to the '59 El Camino style bed (with inset pipes), and the Cadillac bullets on '58 Ford mesh for the grille (used on some other killer Kustoms of the era).



Amazingly, I have never warmed up to the darker repaint version, done decades ago.

Oh HELL yes.

 

I like the 66 olds hood bed cover

 

Bob Metz "Dream Truck"

 

Eclipse has to be one of the koolest show rods EVER! I love how the grille inserts follow the curve of the top to bottom givin a real 3D feel.
Was this sold of the Speed e Style auction a few years back?

 

it was JUST on ebay, painted like a dark green flake. maybe someone has pictures

 

One more from Australia ..

 

I hope. That thing is soo kool. I really like the "exhaust" comin outta the fins.
I think a set of either supremes or cragars on some skinny whites would really fit this one. And i'd get rid of the fish tails for some pencil tips. If only money wasnt such a big issue.....
