Spotted in Encinitas.

Had to pull a u-turn to follow this guy and then he got in the on-ramp lane the opposite way I needed to go, so this was all I got. I think this is the same North County 108 that was for sale last year.

Looks like a Deluxe badge.....

"Hey, did I see you cruising next to Swami's this evening around 8PM with a For Sale sign on your truck??"

You mean my cool, fun, and beautiful Ford 5-window Pick Up? NO way, ain't for sale, but I do know where another Chevy is for sale across from my shop, it's got a custom bay window from Home Depot bolted in the side of it...

...not for me though, I don't want to downgrade Laughing

Ha! Well, there was another truck like yours, very similar color and it was For Sale, but he was driving by and I didn't catch any details.

Keep up the good work,,,,,,FIND those Vintage Vans so we can check them out! That SportVan is probably the one my buddy Mike sold,,,,it has the fake Yellow and Black license plates that were originally white the last time I seen the van,,,,,and if you seen a Black Ford VanUp like SDEconoTrucks, It could be this one that I seen at the Big 3 back in 2008,,,,,so I have not met these guys,,,,,

Yep, that's the same SportVan because I noticed the black plates right away. I don't think that is the same Econo though, the one I saw was more of a grey/silver

I know where one is, cherry body, zero rust, completely disassembled, no title though, possible bill of sale... ...he was asking a grand for it two years ago. Would take some tracking to find it again.

I just finished the fab work for the power brakes. Got the front axle in with the D&D disc bracket kit, and started gathering the parts for the 8-inch rear end... ...I got the engine work almost done at the machinist down the street and I have been messing with ideas for a maybe a two-tone color for the paint, not sure on colors, but one might be black.
Oh, and I got a hold of the "Spring Special" side trim (for '65 but I might use it,) and this will be the line that divides the two colors...

...and I just got most of the parts to do my power steering project on it.

I always see you playing with all that Fiberglass, mesh and resin in your shop on those surfboards,,,,,are you going to use some of your talents on the body of your truck and give it a different look someday?]

Well Gov, not on the body, yet. I did some carbon graphite side covers for my custom seats:

I had to make a mold to get the shape, did that out of foam, then made four of them... (You'll have to click on the picture to see them better)

Saw this truck at our annual cruise weekend. And I was able to meet him at the truck. He knows and has been in the forums, so I reminded him to join and hopefully he will.

That one is really nice, very understated then you notice the rear wheels and tires.
