A Huffy Thunder Road was my first NEW bike I ever got. It goes down as one of the best Christmas gifts I was ever given. It was ALSO the first bike I started taking apart and putting back together. Eventually it became a RAT BMX before I knew what a RAT was.
Thunder Road, yes.
That thing had a pair of yellow Lester aluminum mags. That's what the guy got the bike for. Then he gave what seen in the picture.
The loaf seat and the steer handlebars just so happened to be sitting here by my garage door. ; was planning to put back onto : bike took off; I went ahead and took the wheels off of that bike and put them on it as well

Ok how about a few panel truck pics ?
Hope the surgery went well to get your dad on his feet and behind the wheel again, Tom. That panel truck is sweet!
I could see hauling rat rod bikes around in that for sure!

I bought a 57 pickup with the 235 motor up in Washington state when I first joined the Navy. It was a Highway Dept truck originally, heavy duty. It had a 55 grill on it so it looked like a 55. Start pedal on the floor. I wish I still had it.

all the best on your dad’s recovery.
O M G ! When I see pictures like this, and realize that your dad is years younger than I am, I am urged to get on my bicycle and go!
It really makes me feel like I suffer from lack of exercise, and when I want to stand and tinker at the bench, I should be out there working the heart muscle.

He doing fairly well : hopefully on Tuesday they will tell him he's able to start driving again.:
He only got to take a ride in the panel. And I have not rudden in it yet.
We had @Kay drive us over to his friends where the truck is now, last evening and we give it a little bath. Me with a can of comet and a bucket of water and sponge with green scratch pad, and him with the hose. We had black primer all over both of us before the night was over. Lol
Yes, I'm sure that will be a rat rod bike or two in the rear of this truck at some point. There will also be 50s and 60s Chevrolet racing parts in the back of this truck for sale at cruise nights and shows.
Making memories
This ine us passenger delete ...
The guy say, he trew the 1 original seat away
Would be nice to know what kind of business this was used for. I would say the doors have been changed because someone probably snagged the doors off of it at some point to put on a pickup truck because it probably had sign on them. Oh well, we'll see how things turn out on this journey. Regardless of how the truck turns out in the end.;
Anytime that I get to spend with my father will be priceless.
