JoelOkie Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 I finally got the bed, tailgate, and rear fenders worked over and got this truck back together. Not such a hard job, as it turned out, but it has been hell getting the time, what with having remodeled my daughter's house, and been working on mine, all when not making a living, ect. ect.. Now hoping I can get back to work on that 36 Plymouth I bought last summer that was in the tall weeds. Joel Quote
Todd B Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Very nice, I love the way you accented the box in 2 colors. You need to be proud. Quote
Desotodav Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 ... looks almost like a John Deere service truck! Maybe an earlier model of this one... http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/57-DODGE-STEPSIDE-PICKUP-TRUCK-John-Deere-Service-model-/200631197963?pt=AU_Toys_Hobbies_Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item2eb68d210b#ht_516wt_1139 Desotodav Quote

Don Coatney Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Looks great! I like the yellow accent on the bed. But the whole town said he should have used RED! Quote
JoelOkie Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Posted July 17, 2011 (edited) Looks great! I like the yellow accent on the bed.But the whole town said he should have used RED! Thanks Don. I LIKE that video! I have the Joe Diffe cd , and that was my wife's favorite song on it. I haven't figured a cd player in this one, as it's still on 6 volts. I have the radio for this truck, but haven't gotten it installed yet. Hard to go back to strictly am after having fm so long now. Edited July 17, 2011 by JoelOkie Quote
JoelOkie Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Posted July 17, 2011 Really like the colors. Nice job ! Thanks Reg...I got that rear window from you. Quote
JoelOkie Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Posted July 17, 2011 Thanks to everyone. The paint is Van Sickle's John Deere Greene, and their John Deere safety yellow, which I get at Atwoods farm/ranch store. We have used this paint on implements and trailers, ect., and it is very easy to work with, holds up good, and the best part for me, is it is cheap. Makes a very decent 20'er. Quote
B1B Keven Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Beautiful truck! For your CD player. http://www.pressenter.com/~cmeyer/MES612PG6A.html Quote
John-T-53 Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 FM/CD/MP3 will spoil ya on AM...I saw this in Hemmings and did a search on the internets awhile back and found several vendors that will pull the guts of yer old tube-type radio and install solid-state AM/FM, with optional jacks for CD or MP3, and can operate on 6V or 12V, your decision. It'll give ya the appearance of the correct radio, and the option of modern media. The last estimate I got cost about as much as a new decent AM/FM/MP3 unit. This is where I had my Chevy's radio restored and FM converted: http://www.bobsradio.com/ Bob did a hell of a job and is a nice guy to deal with, very helpful on the phone. In all his years of vintage radios, even he has not seen a 610-T! Joel, your rig looks cool! Great job! Quote
sam knopik Posted July 17, 2011 Report Posted July 17, 2011 Very nice! I would like to see some pics of your cab if you have them. Good job. Quote
JoelOkie Posted July 17, 2011 Author Report Posted July 17, 2011 Interior. Thanks for the radio tips. Joel Quote
1937 Dodge Posted July 18, 2011 Report Posted July 18, 2011 Thanks for posting the photos. Neat truck. Quote
