That is going to be one beautiful truck! I'm so jealous, now I want one!

Wait, it that a bumble bee or a taxi? I thought we were fix'n up a classic truck. White walls are wasted on bumble bees 'n taxis.

@Nyboy, do you often go for flashy? For sure you're gonna be seen in that truck.

@Collector, what strategic parking? He simply parks as far from the entrance as possible and he has plenty of room. Granddaughter (12 yo) this morning said she can't wait until she can drive and park her Hummer (big dreamer) across three parking spaces. Now that's a sure prescription for getting keyed.

That is what I sometimes do ,park as far from entrance as possible. Other times I am in a hurry and park as close as I can, that is where I have gotten every door ding and scrape. It never pays to be in a hurry when finding a parking space.Also it seems the legal parking space size keeps getting narrower to allow more cars per parking lot.

Bright yellow with black fenders and a black strip down hood and roof.

I'm a little slow but I thought you were going for original,look? This seems more like "hot rod" look?

 

[Smart Red]

More proof, seedcorn, that gardeners in the Midwest are more conservative.

Hot? Yes! Rod? No. It should run like a well-kept truck. . . unless the nephew is into duel carbs, shortening the mufflers, and upping the horsepower. Please tell me that the shocks won't go up and down to music when it is fitted out to drive, @Nyboy.

Red thats a lowrider not a hot rod. Very popular on west coast. bet Mary sees a lot of them

 

[Nyboy]

Here is a piece of trivia I just found out Dodge in the 1950s only called the 1/2 ton a pickup, the 3/4 and 1 ton where called express rather then pickup.

Ahh, you are going for hot rod look? Are you going for heavy speakers that make every vehicle rattle when you pull near?

So hot rod paint job, old man tires? Quite a combination that my daughter would love.

 

[Nyboy]

Seed a combo of both looks, hot paint with reliability of a farm truck, Best of both worlds.

Seedcorn, look at it this way. Not only will Nyboy get into conversations with old fogies (I remember my first truck was. . . ), and collectors (Is that 55 Dodge original materials?), but children (Can I ride in the bumble bee truck?), Tweeners (That's a cool looking truck.), bikers (Ya gotta be kidding, Man!), women (Oh, how cute!), police (The suspect is in the van behind a vivid yellow truck. No one could identify the vehicle because they were all looking at the truck. Check it out. It could be a diversion.). Hum-m-m. Who did I leave out? Anyway, he'll be making all sorts of new friends once he takes to the street.

@Smart Red So are you saying he could go to jail until he proves he's not part of the get away gang?

Really hate to see @Nyboy go to jail.....
