Long time member joins 67-72 crowd
So I know what you are thinking. It's a 67 cab with a 72 front end and a 68 or later bed. So what, is it cool or what? I love it! maybe some day I will go one way or the other but for today (the day I got it) I am mezmorized by it just sitting in my drive way. It is lifted with 17" wheels and 35" tires. It looks awesome to me. What do you think?

Re: Long time member joins 67-72 crowd
Me likey. Nobody will notice the changes except for those of us that know a little too much about these trucks.
Does it have buckets in it? It kind of look like it in the pics.

Re: Long time member joins 67-72 crowd
It does have buckets at the moment but since we are a family of 3, the bench will be back soon.
Thanks guys, it seems to me that everyone will notice right away. That back window jumped out at me when I first saw it. I still love it though!

Re: Long time member joins 67-72 crowd
Hey Jebb1978 ... Very nice truck. Day pictures would be better but what I can see I like. You will find many trucks on this Site built with many other model parts and we still like them all. Oh yes...

Re: Long time member joins 67-72 crowd
Special K, she is not as clean as she looks from 15-20 feet away. This is a driver quality ride for sure. Some rust in the bed, a good amount of less than perfect body filler work and some Checker Auto custom off the shelf parts make her what she is. All and all it's a ride to be proud of in my opinion but I am big on things being done the way they came from the factory or at least close enough to fool the average joe. One day I will dig in to this one but not today, I have a 59 to finish up before I do any major work to this one. My only projects in the near future are an original bench seat and vintage air before summer comes around. That's it unless I find a super cheap 67 front clip.

Re: Long time member joins 67-72 crowd
Very nice..... I am just used to seeing my LWB, or maybe the angle, but it looks like the bed was shorten a few inches. Like a bob tail or something. It may also be the sugar coated crack I may have ingested. Anyways, welcome to our neighborhood.

Re: Long time member joins 67-72 crowd
I like it alot,orange too, one of my favorite colors on our trucks! While most of us will catch that it is pieced together, it's still a great looking truck. I'd be proud to have it, perfect example of recycling at its finest!

Re: Long time member joins 67-72 crowd
Hey Jebb, with the Antique plates, do you have to get emissions-tested in Maricopa?

Re: Long time member joins 67-72 crowd
Sure do, 1966 or older are exempt but this one's got to test. Anything 25 years old + can get the plate but there is no real benefit to having them, they just look cool.

Re: Long time member joins 67-72 crowd
Your truck would look better with a 1955 DeSoto grill. HAHA. Well my 1950 Mercury looked good with one. Nice truck.
