Rust

Never did any shows. Before I got back into OTR,.. I was hustling my little pickup hauling bikes for a few dealers from the Daytona auction.













I hauled anything and everything. If it fit and didnt blow out the tires,.. I'd roll it.

I went from this to this,..

People can say what they want. I paid my dues to get where I am now. Still working my tail off to to meet goals I have set.

Thank you,

My first love is old cars. I was trying to make a name for myself and get into hauling classic cars. That was my original goal. I made a few mistakes and bad choices and it didnt pan out. Its been an uphill battle to finally become debt free and financially stable. Its still a lot of work and I still have a long way to go before I can finally say I am where I want to be.

If you want it bad enough and are willing to stubbornly stick with it,.. things will eventually click and things will start going the way you want. I will admit though,.. its been a long learning process the entire time. Still learning new things and the in's and out's every day.

Nice job!

I dont know if I'll go to that extreme on mine. But I'll be very close to that when I get back off the road next Sept/Oct.

I dont have an impact gun large enough to take my wheels off yet. Will pick one up when I get back. I do plan to strip the rear half of the frame,.. just leaving the suspension and axles in place. Everything else that can unbolt will come off. After I strip it down to bare metal it will give me a chance to run some new air lines and rewire the back half of the truck. Plus I've been wanting to replace the plastic half fenders with something else for a long while now.

Not sure if I will drop my fuel tanks or not. The rust wasnt too bad up under the sleeper and cab. Just mainly from about the fuel tanks back is where it turned ugly. Under the hood and cab still look almost new. That and I dont have the tools or facility to really go that in depth with it.

I cant even really park my truck at my place yet. The ground is too soft to take it off the driveway and there is no way to turn it around with out gouging up the property. My wife would kill me. I've been trying to get the money together to repave the place and make a paved turn around area out back were I want to set up an out building/repair shop. All $$$$ that I just cant spare right now. The place where I park my truck is huge. The property owner lets me do anything I want there. Its an old concrete plant. Its just a hassle dragging all my tools and compressor out there all the time.

I'll get it done right. What I did now is just temporary to get me through the summer months. I'll probably take a few weeks off in Oct to focus on getting the truck ready for the winter season.
