See Poll Above

I voted big motor, smoking tires.

My dream truck would probably be a 67' C10 S/B Fleetside, probably red or dark metallic blue, tubbed/narrowed rear for huge rubber and Duramax/Allison powered... Pretty much what the white PPE truck is based on. Looks fairly stock on the outside, but mean as heck when you stomp on it!!

I built my dream truck!

[pcwillsie]

somewhere in between a chopped. bagged custom and a daily driver lol dont know which one to check

[wicky]

Id have to go show truck. But no darn trailer queen. What's the point in building it if u can't enjoy it. With something that's gonna throw ya in the seat when u stomp into it

the big one is my all time favorite modded truck (4x4) (only thing i dont like is the color but it sure looks nice the way it is)

the blue/white would be my perfect DD... (no rust of course)

This.

It would take the right truck to do the all out restoration on - the proverbial unicorn.

Right now I'm doing the resto mod thing and a survivoration: two different trucks.

Dukkie, I like the way you think.

[brad_man_72]

slammed, wheels, custom chassis and suspension, big brakes, 450hp+ls based, 5 speed, subtle body mods (60s gm car parts script badges, door handles, mirrors, steering wheel, seats) shaved drip rail, windshield leaned back. Gotta be black w white houndstooth interior. Has to be a 67 or 68.

[71meangreenc10]

Suburban......Suburban.......Suburban.....(I like em


But,

Smitty

[Fldawg]

what catagory would resto mod be?

[Dunenutt]

I wanted to vote #3, #4, & #5 but could'nt. Kind of like the black truck, but with fabbed Hi 9's, linked suspension W/ coilovers, 502, 4l80E, ect. I would like to be able to pull into any show and look respectable, but be able to take it hunting, or hit some dunes with it. When I finish mine, it will slooowlly metamorphasize into what I described. Right now I just want to drive it!

[stich626]

you didn't list mine, so I picked as good as any new truck as a daily..

I'd build a lsIII with s/c, auto (sticks suck in traffic) with paddle shift. nascar road course underpinning, long box ,flush box cover and a nice sound system, a/c,power locks(only because it be easier for aint theft system, 4wd brakes and 1979 hurst olds wheels but in a bigger size than the 14 by 7 ,

I voted daily driver as good as any on the road as thats what I hope it turns out to be.

[big_al_71]

Resto Mod is my favorite..

[Steve Hafner]

My dream is ALMOST finished - the finished wood was picked up today and the bed will be assembled tomorrow. ( the last BIG thing to do ) Some "little stuff" and it will finally be HOME. I had it built exactly the way I would have back in 1970 . . . and just a few more things added to make it C O O L !!!

[Indyuke]

I voted all original. All the other trucks look good and are cool, but some of those things are fads that come and go, others are meant more for the track than daily driver, etc. An original will always be wow'ed over by most anyone.

So True, Take any car show or auction, While the custom is cool to the eye of the creator many are turned away as they would have done XX and YY different but the original is the pinacle loved by all. hell were all here on 67-72 chevytrucks .com because everyone here loves the original right?
