Working on 1985 U-Haul 13ct

[RICK H.]

Cindy, I hope to go to Effingham if I get it finished, still working on the doublecab [total restoration]. I also belong to a VW club that is out of Cleveland Oh it is called L.E.A.K.O.I.L. there are some pics of my truck there. I am vwrick69 on that site. I hope to color match the camper to the truck. If you get this direction I am only a couple miles south of turnpike at the westgate of Ohio. The truck and camper should turn a lot of heads! RICK

I looked at the facebook pix. Are you the blue or red DC? I have not seen so many pickups in one place as your group has (but then my VW show experience is Effingham and the Mofoco show in WI where we won a trophy for our Burro and Eurovan)

If you bring that set-up to Effingham, it certainly ought to get some attention. There have been few pickups in my 4 years there, and last year was the first time that I saw fiberglass trailers.

If you go this year, send us a PM. We can tell you where there is a nice little campground. It is very clean and cared-for. Lots of VWs camp there that weekend.

Cindy, my DC is yellow and white and is under "members projects" 69 DC. I am computer illiterate and had a guy in club post them for me .

[CindyL]

Oh, wow! I really like the DC. What kind of shape was it in before?
Did you have all the bodywork and paint done professionally?
So what design/color are you planning for the UHaul.

I hope you can make it to Effingham. I would love to see it!

The DC was in "fair" condition, yes I had the body work done by a pro, I didn't want to try to learn body work on this truck. The Uhaul will be color matched to the truck on the outside but the inside is done with checker flag vinyl flooring and center seam. We also have an outdoor room add on, but it is green[ beggers can't be choosers, got it on sale at sears for $25]. Having to pay for bodywork is a fortune but worth it in the long run!! RICK

And this absolutely screams PICTURES????

Here's a link to the pickup: http://www.leakoil.net/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=759

Rick, do you have the gates for the DC?

That is the best truck I have seen so far, although my experience is only a few years of local shows.

Yes, I do have the side gates, my body guy is using them as filler between projects over the winter. My apologies as I have no idea how to post pictures on forums or email sorry. Some of the guys on leakoil posted those for me.
