Rate my truck, add five pics of your truck.
Add five pics of your truck, and then anyone rate on a scale of 1-10 and tag that member. You can also add what you like and what you might do different if it was your truck, all in good fun so don't be mean just honest.
We all love our trucks and work hard to keep them going, time to show off your hard work no matter is its a rust bucket or all stock to full custom. I'll go first, 72 with 70 front clip.

Re: Rate my truck, add five pics of your truck.
My 68, fully built at home. Just swapped in a 327 sbc and a TKX this winter. Did the sport buckets and console last year. Only real thing I wish I had done while redoing it was move the motor to the V8 location on the frame instead of leaving it in the I6 location, would have game the option to do a big block later one with a little less work.

Here's my 71 Deluxe, 402, A/C. I still have to slap on the front bumper. Pretty much all original parts, even most of the bolts restored. Dropped it though, 4/2.5". Levels the truck FWW.

Re: Rate my truck, add five pics of your truck.
Another pristine truck, very nice. I'll give it another 9 just because its unfinished. My 72 emergency brake lines don't route like yours, surprised one year difference they changed it to the side of the frame instead of under.

Re: Rate my truck, add five pics of your truck.
Very nice, I rate them all a 10.
Here is my 72 Cheynne Super C20, 511 big block, automatic w/ gear vendors, Dana 60 4.10 w/ locker, 30-gal fuel tank, AC. It's so much fun to drive. I have owned it since 94. |

Re: Rate my truck, add five pics of your truck.

I'm going with a 9, I would do something different with the underside of your hood. Really having to search to find anything I would change since its so clean.

Re: Rate my truck, add five pics of your truck.
Might be because my SWB has leaf springs. The original owner ordered a on a chassis. Inline Tube had never seen the original rear PB cables. But if I remember right, the confusion was at the brake plate. They built new ones for me, however; nice work.

Re: Rate my truck, add five pics of your truck.

Wife purchased this truck for me as an anniversary present back in 2019. It has been a fun (for the most part) project to this point. The entire suspension/steering/brake system has been replaced. Static drop 2.5/4, power disc brakes up front, and most recent, power steering add. Tank relocated to the rear and a touch of work out back. Since these photos were taken the tail lights have been moved to the old backup light location. Still motivating with the original 283, 3OT, and 3.73 rear gear. That may start to change this fall as the engine needs a refresh/replacement and that could lead to all sorts of bad decisions. Just put me in the ugly duckling category.

To me it was much less work than finding an old take off bed and repairing it, when I bought mine it had a 90's step side bed that had to go. I'm right there with you on the bad decisions, and they seem to never end. Bring that rig out to some cruise in's, bet it gets just as many looking it over as the fully restored rigs.

One of the beauties of these trucks is it doesn't matter the condition, people like em. What's not to like.

I agree with the above. I would not want to park next to any of them.

Re: Rate my truck, add five pics of your truck.
Yeah I don't see anything I would change, that's a 10 in my books for sure.
Maybe a 9.5 since I have two sons and need a bench so those seats would have to go. A Snowden is on my list for the future mods.

Re: Rate my truck, add five pics of your truck.
Just an FYI on my 68 hood. It was nice but the hood did vibrate going down the road. Bugged the snot out of me. So I had some DEI trans tunnel insulation left over from project. It's about a 3/16" to 1/4" thick. Sticky on one side. Fiberglass insulation in the middle. Then kind of a waffle stainless outside. So I used that between the hood braces and the hood. Then when I was happy with the thickness I painted the edges black so you couldn't see it.
Oh and bed pic. Thanks for all the kind words. |
