This episode we sit down with Rocky, a Kiewa Valley local, who has been a spraypainter / panelbeater, his whole life. Now that he has retired, he spends his days restoring a rare 1957 GMC Suburban Carrier, his attention to detail is second to none, and the story of how he came to have the truck is a beauty.

Rocky is old school. No Instagram, No Facebook, No websites, just a passionate bloke working away to achieve a goal. I will post some pics of what his truck will look like once finished, and a few sneaky shots of the build in progress.

This episode we jump on a virtual 747 and fly to Prescott, Arizona, to catch up with Del Uschenko from Delmo Speed. Fresh off a real 747, and after a few days of drooling at trucks at Dino's Get Down and The Good Guys show in Scottsdale, Arizona I drove up to Del's new shop and sat down for a chat.

Episode 1.

This episode has been a long time coming. I listen to a lot of podcasts, many Automotive ones included, and most seem to be US based as the scene over there is a lot bigger, due to population if nothing else. We have a great Hotrod and Custom car culture here, and growing up going to shows I have always been fascinated by the classic styling of the 40's to 70's Vehicles.

I host another podcast called the Metal Sculpture Show, which is available on all platforms to listen to, interviewing Metal artists around the world. I felt there was a gap here in Australia as our engineering and ADR regulations make everything so much harder and I am constantly seeing the same questions asked over and over on Facebook pages and Forums.

I'm hoping we can address a lot of this info on the podcast and make it easy to listen to for the Aussie builders and owners of classic pickups.

This episode was recorded over a year ago at the Bright Rod Run in NE Vic. It was my first test run into interviewing Truck guys and I thought it was only fitting to play them in this episode.
