Projects haters gonna hate. My Rudy truck

After seeing the photos of Rudy's truck, I'd say you nailed the proportions better than he did. I like it...hate the color but like the truck.

 

Totally agree,,,a generous slathering of red primer would be the cats arse! HRP

 

brown primer, black wires and blackwall tires...

 

Damn Larry, You have got deep perception. Oh, wait.

Looks Good Man! Those trucks are one of the tuffest builds going. One wrong move and they start to look real goofy. Lookin good though. Keep it up.

 

Larry, you can paint it whatever color you want after you buy it. Red primer? Why do you want it to look like everyone else's? I think you are all homophobes.

Re: Is there such a thing as a cool "bobber" pickup or would I be wasting my time?

Another HAMBster bobber? Ron

 

Damn, that truck is KILLA!

It's a good thing you're so damned good looking Aaron, because you really suck at this whole car building thing.

 

I dont understand the bubble top a couple guys mentioned.

 

"Bubble Top" is a popular move used in the gay porn industry. Plowboy was one of the first to bring it mainstream.

 

It's very complicated, here he is going over his notes before the "Big Scene"

 

These trucks are making me want one and to drop my idea of a T bucket...I will stay with my bucket idea but add a truck idea too.

 

plowboy's posts sure do bring out the dusty ones! Not only do I love this truck, but I find myself glad to see some folks still here, on the new sensitive, and politically correct H.A.M.B.!

 

An often tried but rarely successful look. Id say you have it nailed. Look forward to watching the progress and the fun that ensues with your builds =)

 

just google "atomic punk playboy mansion" and you'll see lots of bubble tops and no gay porn..

 

I like it. going with a short wheelbase on my T, things get tight though.

 

could that be TZ?

ya got any pics of that one?

 

I don't see any hating going on for this truck. You probably need to retitle this thread something to the effect of:
"Plowboy's Amazing Jesus Technicolor '35 Ford Rudy Dream Truck"

Also, can you ask one of the neighborhood teenage girls to look at the firewall and tell you which is the same color nail polish at Target? I think there's gonna be a fuschia firewall bandwagon we'll be quietly jumping on soon.

 

If it was an International you could call it the "Thirteen Letter Shit-Spreader".

 

So its the bubble top crap I was thinkin of. Thought it might be somethin you guys goof around about.

 

Did I miss what the wheel base is on this fine looking rod ?

 

Come on guys!
I mean the trucks slick as hell but you all are missing the BIG PICTURE HERE!!!!!
Plowboy has a 61. Vett! !!!!!!!!!!!
I'm sure the bluebloods are gunna shit themselves when they see what he's going to do to that thing!!
Well spill the beans man! What are the plans for the vett?
60s show car?!?!?!?!
full 100 point restoration?!?!?!
I'm dying here! I. Gotto know!!!!

 

"High five" for making the bed dump, definitely a classic component for this type of truck build. But how does one expect to "knock boots" while listening to Glass Tiger with such a sort bed? It looks impossible. Anyways, Thanks for sharing this build.

 

I also would love to know the wheel base of all the trucks? I think this is a sweet ride to do with a truck cab and go crazy with it.

 

I love this thread. I bought a 35 ford cab a few years back I think I might have to pull it out of storage.

 

I completely agree that a truck cab-based hot rod newer than 34 is all about getting the proportions right, keeping wheel base under control, and getting the stance just right. Aaron nailed this one. Sadly 99.9% of all the other builders do not.

While the Rudy truck is credited (or discredited) for starting all these truck cab-based vehilces, I am trying to remember, what year was that truck built? Is there any evidence of a simlar truck ever being built before i.e. little pages, hot rod mag, etc.?

 

Looking great man!

 

this truck is awesome. very few of these are nailed to look right. great job
