Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

Thats why he called it a "GASSER INFLUENCED" and not a Gasser. Why you don't get that is simply amazing to me. you can paint a painting like a Picaso but it won't be a Picaso But it might have very simular characteristics and you might say " that guy must have been "INFLUENCED" by Picaso, yet it still is not a picaso, but you can see the "INFLUENCE" that picaso had on the new artists painting just as you can see many characteristics from a "GASSER" in HARDWAAs truck. In fact if it had a straight axle it would in fact "BE' a "GASSER" and not simply be "GASSER INFLUENCED" I could continue to give you many more examples of what being "INFLUENCED" means or even give you the Websters deffinition but that might become cumbersom bordering on being redundant, and I would never want to do that .

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

I thought I posted a while back that I call this truck "The Pusher"( notice title of youtube clip in my signature). That Steppenwolf song was playing one night in the garage and I looked at my truck and said perfect . When I started building this truck I wanted that 60's dragrace/pushtruck vibe. It must be from my old gasser, fuel altered books that I drool over,and love all the old trucks in the backround that pulled those HOTRODS to the track.
Anyways thanks for the compliments. Truck is up for "adoption" but not sure if I could let it go will have to see what happens.

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

this reminds me of the pro-street debate :rolleyes:

Hickup, you beat me to it, I agree whole-heartedly :thumbs:

Hardwaa, I hope it doesn't get adopted, hang on to it if you can :D

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

Hey the truck looks badazz.

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

Im glad it was finally considered a support truck.....put some bumper guards on the front or a push plate and then it can also be a salt flats push car too! By the way that vid clip is insane, short but so motivating! love the stance, sound and look....your project is actually really great and period correct for any route a owner of that day was going for.

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

He had it up for sale awhile back on Craigslist he may have sold it.

Re: 1966 Chevy SWB Gasser influenced truck
 

One of my favorite trucks on this site, and I wouldn't change a thing because it's perfect. I had forgotten how good Cragars looked on 60-66 trucks.

Your truck would look awesome at Bakersfield push-starting a nostalgia Top Fueler.
