i wish i could take credit for it...however...a friend of my father used it in a video awhile back.

melstull....i'll see if i got anymore wally tub pics
He sounds like The Most Interesting Man in the World!

I wonder if he drinks Dos Equis XX??
 
Tyke is not located in Southern Vermont, Southern Vermont relocated to be around Tyke.
 
Never seen one of Wallys tubs... But I have to agree that thick steel tubs have a lot of advantages. In the last 18 years I've had more steel rust away from my tub than stock 40s come with. 1/8" steel makes the truck heavier... But it rides nicer, and has excellent weight distribution. (and is still as solid as can be.

Side to side it's balanced. With the top on front 950 kg, rear 1150 kg. Without the top, it's within 50 kg front to rear.:D With an F motor it would be a little heavier in the front.


:cheers: Wally for building fine machines.
 
not really great pictures...but...he does it all...he's a vary skilled fabricator...tubs and even 45 beds .... mods and maintnance .... these pics dont show the skill as well as they should

Tyke did alot of work on my truck the years i lived in boston when i didnt have a garage...i credit my trucks longevity to the work we did sooooo many years ago.

reviving thread..

I'm heading up to that area with my 80 and going to drop it off with him to get some work done. Hey, maybe it'll turn into a 45 while it's there. I wouldn't mind..

So, does Wally actually make tubs to sell or does he only make tubs for whole vehicles? In other words, could I somehow get him to make me a tub for my 45 to be shipped over here to me or would he only consent to build a tub for a 45 that I actually brought to him?
 
Wally ever get that website?


Sent from my iPhone

Funny I just asked him this a few days ago... I told him I can make him a free site and he said I'd need to stand in line as a few other buds had already pestered him to make one... But he's all about NO

:)

I may just do one anyway because he has to learn he can't always have it his way lol
 
Nice to see it out of the shop. That truck is no longer mine though. I traded it to Wally for some work on a 40. If you look off to the left on of his house at the 4 door K30 Chevy he is working on that for me now.
