Musclecar's shop truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bigblock73 · 04-09-2006, 11:44 AM

Did anyone catch this weekends episode of Musclecar on Spike TV? The episode was about them getting a new shop truck...for making parts runs and stuff. Well, I noticed in a past episode they had a 73-74 Chevy C10 in the background, well this weekend they showed more of it. It is a 73-74 Chevy C10 long bed...beat up and looking pretty sad. They did a reverse donut in it, and had a couple brief action shots of it...pretty cool! The sad part, they ditched the truck to build an El Camino...lame.

Anyhow, just had to share it.

BTW - I am not a fan of the show in general...more of the vehicles they work on.

I noticed that too. They started talking about upgrading their shop truck and that got me really interested. When they showed the c10 I was sure this was going to be sweet, but then..... an El Camino....

You're right because today I tuned in to see a replay and it was a El Camino?

Jeff- Have you watched extreme 4x4 where they're making a 1987 subruban 4x4 into a hummer style truck with lots of 4x4 mods and a duramax diesel with a allison tranny?

sweet concepts

bojoe · 04-09-2006, 02:37 PM

Nice, but very high in price that is for sure. If you want it bad enough money is no object.

bigblock73 · 04-09-2006, 02:42 PM

Brandon, yeah...I have been watching that buildup. Basically the only things left that are 73-87 is the chassis...everything else is aftermarket, custom built, or Dodge (front suspension).

It is still cool to watch though...Jesse included.

Alot better than the Courtney hosting the whole tv block. Jessie actually make it look like she knows what she's doing not just some cheap eye candy.

Jonboy · 04-10-2006, 09:53 AM

Yeah, but sometimes cheap eye candy is good, too.

Courtney knows more than most, you just don't see it because the host on powerblock is useless. She grew up around cars, and can hold her own turning wrenches.
