Maybe someone can post a small photo for me.

Nice truck there it will porbably sell for more than it's worth @ BJ.

Im not so crazy about the stingray gills or the sun roof.

[smashingchuck]

I'm not crazy about any of it.

375 hp sounds kinda week for a NA 383 stroker. Not thrilled w/ the truck, but it looks nice. Doesn't look anything out of the ordinary at all.

I wonder if that's the AIM/Chassis Tech grill in it. I like those grilles but they are very expensive and heard that they are hard to install also!

It says 525 hp. I just really love the engine compartment.

I think its says something about a 150 nitrous shot; leaves 375 NA?

OK, that sounds right. I just remembered the 525 hp.

Even harder to change a burnt out headlight

Where can I get a bumper like that with the built in Driving lights

I think I saw them in the LMC catalog, but in chrome.

The write up says is one of ten custom built, numbered cars. Any idea who built them and if that actually makes any difference?

Looks like mostly off-the shelf "custom" parts. Curious to see what it fetches at auction.

[Eyegore]

LMC I believe, but I think they only offer chrome. "lmc.com" should get you a online catalog.

[bodydropped]

i was lookin at the book i got in the mail for the auction and i wish i had the money to go out there but theres one car i want its ken caminitis old 57 chevy that ekstensive metal works built. its has like a merlin 592 850hp on pump gas and 1000hp on the bottle

The only bumper with custom driving lights that I have ever seen have been for the 73-80 models. Goodmark used to sell them. I have never seen one in the 81-87 style bumpers.

This bumper was on the truck when I bought it,so I can't take credit for the work or idea.Stock bumper bolts welded up and 2 pieces of pipe cut to length, expanded at local muffler shop then welded on after holes drilled in bumper for lights.It's alot cheaper than lmc's bumper.
As far as the truck on BJ it's too loud for my taste.The work is very nice I'm just a little old school I guess.

Ditch the side gills, the front spoiler, the rear cab and tailgate faux spoiler mess, the sunroof, the grill........I'll pass, especially for the stupid Barrett- Jackson money that they'll get for it. Chevy got the design so right when they were new that when radical mods are done to them, they start looking like a 1980s style mini-truck.

On the subject of B-J, I personally feel that they have destroyed the car hobby. As much as I can't stop watching the show because I love cars and am anxious to see what's coming up next on the block, I have to cringe when I see cars like an "Eleanor" Mustang CLONE sell for 150K. I get sickened when they show the bidding wars go on between two rich yuppies who really have no clue that they are butt-raping each other by over-bidding on a over-valued car. The idiot with the Ferrari hat who bid 2 million on the '54 Olds concept car a few years ago took the cake. He told the other bidder that he was going home with the car no matter what, and the other guy got pissed and bid him into the stratosphere, and he wound up paying about 500K more than if he would have kept his mouth shut.

I guess what makes me the most upset is that I can't buy a running 67-69 Camaro anymore for under 15K. They want 10K for junk parts cars that 10 years ago we bought just for the mouldings for $300 complete.

73-87 trucks are the best deal around, and I hope this profit-taking attitude doesn't ruin them as well. Sorry for the rant.

the lmc ones will fit. i would bet that that is an lmc bumper repainted or a stocker shaved and lights fabbed into it. also look at the work they did on the back of the cab kinda cool. i am not a fan of the grill or the vette style fenders but it is a sweet truck overall i wounder how much it will bring. i know at that state it is no were near its original but it is cool they started with the custem delux instead of the silverado .

I'm sticking with my Custom Deluxe emblems all around. A bit more unique since everyone has Silverado emblems on their truck whether or not the truck is a Silverado.

Not a fan of this blue truck at all. Looks waay too much like they went apes*** putting every bolt-on imaginable on it.

Yes but the design of the two bumpers is completely different. It's just one more noticable thing that enthusiasts pick up on as well as myself. A custom truck looks the best in my opinion with styling from the original parts.

Without the grills on the fenders, the wild graphics, sunroof, exposed tailpipes, etc. Then this Truck would be awesome in my opinion!

i pass

[odie82]

I cant believe he is selling it, I have talked to this guy a couple times at car shows, he has been building this thing sense the early 80's after he bought it, very cool truck inside and out, here are some more pics I have taken from local car shows
