Future Diamonds in the Ruff... From April 2017

We picked up a couple of trucks for a buddy of mine that restores 77-79 Fords....

You just can't imagine how nice these will look in a couple of months....

Nice job saving them from the scrap yard. I love those trucks.

Some of his recent builds...

 

American Tower said:

Great seeing old trucks saved.
The rollback is looking good too!

 

Eds Towing  said:

We picked this one up & tucked it in one of our shops until it is sold...

 

That other one left last week to it's new home in Florida...



Send me some pics and we can see? He does do Broncos from time to time. They just started the Blue/Green one from my picks now...in a few weeks it will be a beautiful ride!

I had a real good customer who specialized on older Ford trucks--he was a full-time truck driver but had a shop & mechanic working  on his units--I made many trips for him thru NC<VIR<SC<TN picking up trucks he bought off E-Bay----he always ran a dedicated route from NC  to Ga and one day he never returned,next day they put out a APB  for him and he was found in a truck stop in the sleeper-- corner confirmed a severe heart attack--lost a good friend & customer------those trucks you posted reminded  me of him----

That is really cool post Ed, thank you.

They definitely do not make real iron like that today.

Kralls Nice Ride!

That multi colored 79 that I posted the pic on my wheel lift is just getting wrapped up.

This truck is so nice it could of just rolled off the Louisville assembly line! 

Just needs the wheel & tires installed and some minor sorting, then it's on it's way to it's new home in NJ. I understand the guy built a new garage to store it in.

 

Far cry from what it was ....

 

He already has his next candidate, found behind a barn...still owned by the original owner!

 

We mounted the wheels & tires up yesterday..... Finished product...

Eds Towing  said:

A couple of final touches today and now we are delivering to the customer's home in NJ....

Funny thing now Joe works for me. We started a body shop last summer and things are going great. He hasn't had time to finish any old Fords lately but we found 2 candidates last weekend that we are going to pursue.
