Saw this one in MV, don't care for the interior, almost exactly
what I am building except I'm going Black/White Houndstooth
interior and a different wheel package. This one has a 20/22's
combo (Same thing I want) and is a 4wd conversion. (Had the
leafsprings still out in back) Also was running a BBC motor.

My digi died, so I could not go hog wild taking pictures of it

**jaros44sr** · 05-11-2008, 01:46 AM

I agree, that does look good, except the red interior. I like the '67 nose. Good luck on your build

Gotta agree to disagree!

I love the black with red interior!

Well, went back up to look at the second pic. again to see if I missed something, but I agree with guy to the rite of the truck who seems tobe thinking, that truck would look sweet if it didn't have a red interior. The guy by the front fender, leaning down, can't seem to find the tires either.

Just not a fan of red, as a matter of fact, it is the only interior color that doesn't work for me. To each his own...

Never noticed his face till you said that

**jaros44sr** · 05-12-2008, 06:07 PM

I needed a strong rebuttal for '67 C30, and the gentleman on the rite fits the bill. Everyone likes something different

I think he's thinking "hmmm, that looks like a 68 nose to me"

Ha, I see your well versed in your model year identification, sorry I've only bin around these trucks for 5 years

What's the differance, looks the same to me? Side markers?

Amen brother. Anyone can have boring black on black. That red is awesome. The only thing it needs is bags so it can tuck those tires....

Big J · 05-11-2008, 01:47 AM

Man thats friggin' awesome!!! Black too! Thats the color I'm going with unless I change my mind again,

FRENCHBLUE72 · 05-11-2008, 03:16 AM

That is a sweet ride love the color combo....

Jtrux · 05-11-2008, 05:52 AM

Is that the plan for Merlot or GQ??

"GQ" ("Merlot" is for sale)

BuckLucky · 05-11-2008, 07:16 AM

Perfect, now put the dana 44 back up front and a 8 inch lift and 38s and it would be perfect, minus the red interior. That is a sweet ride just how it sets. I like!!

**Yukon Jack** · 05-11-2008, 05:20 PM

Wow, that's pretty impressive. I'm not a big rim fan, but I must admit, those look incredible on there. Actually don't look too big (wait, is that me saying that?!)

**jaros44sr** · 05-11-2008, 05:54 PM

The wheels don't look bad, they fit the wheel arch nicely, but I think he forgot to mount up the tires. Good thing he's on grass or he mite scratch the rims

That's why they make choclate and vanilla ice cream

JayDubBlazer · 05-11-2008, 05:58 PM

I agree that is a very classy looking truck

Long Roof · 05-12-2008, 03:11 AM

Fantastic, I love the whole thing (conversion or not)

72BlckButy · 05-12-2008, 03:48 AM

That is sick!!! Definite inspiration!

LUV2XCLR8 · 05-12-2008, 02:50 PM

Pic's do not do it justice, the interior was NOT factory red, more of a redish
pink leather. (to me anyways) It WAS done up really nice, I am just more of
a Black on Black kinda guy. Like I said I wish I had more, but my digi died.

bouncytruck · 05-13-2008, 06:56 PM

I agree with N2TRUX. I like the color combo (at least the way it appears in the pictures) and it needs bags.

HoupPhotography · 05-13-2008, 07:59 PM

WOW, I really dig that truck! Is it a truck or Bronco? whatever it is, it definitly needs bagged.

Pop's72 · 05-14-2008, 02:50 AM

Interesting how tastes change... A year ago I would of hated the red interior, but now I kind of like it. And yes that sucker needs to be bagged!
