BBdrivers 61 short uni ...

[foodstick]

I am gonna call my buddy Bill BBdriver for this thread, I am not actually sure if he has a registered name or not, though he has an opinion on most things, he is not one to post much.. so here are a few pics of his truck as it is now. This won't be going down to SS 5 ... but he WILL be there, and making a parts run as well....





















he has recently got it running much better, and it will probably start getting driven a bit after SS5, as that usually gives EVERYONE a giant kick in the pants/overdrive for about 2 months !

Well Lance that deffinately looks like alot cleaner truck to start with than You or I started with .

One of your flying buddy's? or... are all of them yours.

[foodstick]

The planes are my buddies, he has been flying for probably30 years or more.. since grade school he has flown control line and everything else !

And yes Rick, that truck is pretty dang solid. It was owned in the past by a auto bodyman, so I don't know if there is a lot of good putty work underneath, or it is just straight !

the tailgate looks 1000 times better in the pics than it is though.. Its a disaster. He is going to scratch build a rolled gate...does anyone recall WHO it was that sold the rolled gate outer skins? both BBdriver and I have lost the link to that sheet metal vendor....

[noley99]

Here is the link for the skins. Think I may do the same with mine.

Thanks a TON, my friend will be stoked up, and laying cash down on that part !

He has his stock exhaust on and his big pile of goodies from the LMC trip.

currently he is dissecting some steps off a donor cab, so that he can install them on his uni once it goes on the rotissere...

Thanks again

Good deal Bill. Good to see it on the road again. Sometimes I wish I had bought it instead of calling Bill but am so glad he is enjoying it. Sorry I wasn't home when you guys stopped by. We need to make a Saturday cruise and spend the Day just driving around..........Kid

Isn't there a 4th slick that was supposed to be in the picture with the other three? Something about a mythical chop top or something?

[Kid]

LOL Jerry, It is in the garage behind Bills truck

[Alan Mclennan]

Tell Bill nice going getting her back on the road Lance!, I enjoyed meeting up with him!

[Truckrat]

Way to go, Bill! Enjoyed talking to him at SS5. That is a nice Uni, too.
I was thinking how much higher his is than yours Lance. Amazing what CV suspension does
for altitude. Looks like it could be a driver to SS6 don't ya think? TR

[foodstick]

It should be at SS 6, as he only lives 10 miles from Altoona...

Nice looking swb uni. Id love to find one like that around here but we seem to have more 4wd than unis.
