whats up fabrication nation we are as
I alluded to you in a previous episode
we are on our way to add a new vehicle
to the family like like we need another
vehicle
but whatever were gonna make it happen
there isn't a back
I havent really mentioned what it is we're
going to get so if you've been a long time
viewer of channel you see a long time ago
I did a video of a 71
chevy dually, not 100 percent because trucking
awareness but I did that stroke going to
get we're driving to Nasheville to meet the
guy that owns the truck he's actually coming
from Arkansas I believe
gonna meet in Nashville, spend the night
and I think of the trunk of them also so
got like two hours left this ride
made it to the room staying at the
indigo Hotel in downtown Nashville this
place is cool but never stated thing to
go it's an old style hotel me over part
of downtown Nashville anyway
think today or this evening we're just
going to experience downtown life hang
out with the guy that owns the truck
currently and just do the Nashville
thing and then tomorrow hopefully we
won't feel too bad we'll get up do the
paperwork on the truck and then head to
the house
(music)
(more music)
(and even more music)
I totally over did it last night and now
im having to drive home feeling like crap
alright guys I made it made it back long five
hours when you hungover some Nashville
party but anyway so I'm going to show
you the truck I'm just going to kind of
do a walk around real quick show you the
truck kind of show you where it is right
now maybe give you some ideas of what I
plan on doing with it immediately and
maybe in the future and I don't have a
name for it either so it's got any good
ideas as far as a name for this thing
let me know it's currently called the
Hughley because I got it I got it from
his name with Hugh and good name but you
need something with some more character
so anyway a roll pan
its got the Alcoa's already on it got four
buckets we've got four bucket seats
things these things are out of like it's
kind of import maybe like a Integra or
something and actually not that bad
there feel pretty comfortable I think
will be cool
maybe find one more of these and then
have like three buckets in the rear and
two in the front maybe have them
recovered some kind of fabric that kind
of ties into the theme of truck maybe
like a all gray with red something I
don't know
front same thing got the dual bucket the
front and
like I said maybe I don't know maybe
some kind of red and gray combo or like
a burgundy and gray combo where con ties
with the red there's the - there so this
truck is a 78 78 and so the first thing
I want to do obviously is I want to fix
the - so probably going to do a - cover
redo the gauges do some painting of the
needles and the bezel itself kind of
like I did on the Black Pearl I'll do
that the truck may get carpet like run
off the bat may go with like a dark grey
carpet or or black and really like the
two big things I'm going to do right you
know right from the hit besides just
cleaning that color thing so like I said
78 78 trucks are obviously carbureted I
think most of them are like big blocks
this is not this has a lt1 swap in it it
was done by the guy who built the truck
who actually lives locally that's how I
knew about this truck I actually wanted
it when he had it he sold it to the guy
that I got it from the guy that I got it
from headed in Texas and Arkansas and
all over the country and decided to sell
it and so anyway doesn't look too bad
under here just probably clean up a
little bit
paint some of the stuff that needs to be
painted
all the modern amenities have been
transferred to this truck in a way that
actually looks pretty factory so they
did a good job
AC and this truck works amazing got the
Corvette covers on the lt1 those those
motors came in Corvette but I don't
think that one cannot have a Corvette I
think it's the UH Caprice or something
and I just put the covers on it
nonetheless is cool the front got the
bulbs
alright guys there you go the Hughley
and upon change your name on it
y'all give me with give me some names
that you can think of that kind of match
the theme of this truck and kind of go
with all the other stuff that I do kind
of has honestly a theme but all the
names let's use for my other rides they
seem like they kind of go together so I
don't know anyway let me know what you
think on the name it's a great truck
great bones drives really well AC heat
you know it's got all the amenities it's
going to be great for the family I'm
going to put the whole family in there
we're gonna build a ride and should
should be a good tow rig too so possibly
going to get a trailer and we can you
know haul the visitor haul the the goose
and may at one point maybe do like a LS
like a 62 swap or I don't know maybe a
coming swap in it I don't know I'm not
going to worry about that right now I'm
just going to drive it kind of do put my
little touch on it a little bit and just
enjoy it for now anyway there you go the
new addition like I said it's been a
long two days feeling it right now but
let me know what you think
