mat in tn Posted November 11, 2021 Author Share Posted November 11, 2021 Not really. I built it for myself but then i sold it. I seem to do that. I really like bullnose trucks and i love building restomods and restoring them. I dont build these for other people . I build what i like. I do other commision work and custom work but frame off builds i do on my own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do other commision work and custom work but frame off builds i do on my own. Interesting. I've only sold two Bullnose trucks after working on them "significantly". The '82 Explorer got a new engine and I ported the heads myself. And Rusty required both the rear diff and the t-case to be rebuilt, and I swapped engines with Dad's truck and then put it back. Plus there was a whole lot of other work done on both trucks. But in both cases I sold them because I was getting another truck - Dad's truck replaced the Explorer, and Big Blue replaced Rusty. But now that I have "extensive" work on both of these trucks I could never sell them. They've become part of me. Or I'm part of them. So I don't see how you do one so in-depth and sell it. But both you and Cory apparently do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat in tn Posted November 22, 2021 Author Share Posted November 22, 2021 Out in the west caps or toppers are called canopies! the funny thing is that when i got bubba it had a roll bar and lights. thats what i prefer but i needed to keep my tools dry so i bought a topper / cap . that was 27 years ago. again i find practicality takes precedence. however i do like the old school topper look Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
