Re: budget slammin!
It was a patched up 67-72 nicknamed the "Circus Wagon", IIRC. He had 18 and 20 TT2s on it, way back then. I think the magazine was Sport Truck. He ended up bagging it, I think.

The thing that struck me about the truck was it had some mis-matched painted body panels, a few were silver w/maroon two tone, like my first vehicle, a '77 Silverado. It was banged up looking, but he had it running great with ice-cold A/C.
I also remember in the late 80s-early 90s, seeing a '68-'72 in a magazine, maybe belonged to one of the writers, with different colored panels. Called "Clown Truck" or something. Sorta like what some call "Rat Rods" nowadays.
