He's probably selling it because he is tired of getting laughed at.

I never thought about gold spoke wheeels...

sneakysnake · 12-07-2004, 02:57 PM

Looks like someone kicked it in the a$$

beaterC10 · 12-07-2004, 03:02 PM

Looks like the old F*** trucks with the extended wheel base.

*Randy70C-10* · 12-07-2004, 03:48 PM

That looks ridiculous.

Too bad, it's such a clean and straight truck too.

dregs454 · 12-07-2004, 09:19 PM

wow, that looks terrible, I bet he just took a sawzall and cut body, frame, and everything the whole way through...

saulgoode · 12-07-2004, 06:11 PM

Why the heck would anybody do that, it looks like a turd.

chevjayfsd · 12-07-2004, 06:40 PM

there is no excuse for that! That guy just wanted a Short bed truck, got lazy, and chopped the long bed! Dumb!

arkracing · 12-07-2004, 08:04 PM

and the best part about it is he thinks it is an 8/9 out of 10???!!!!!!! and then whips out the NADA numbers....if your close to low retail it's yours...hahaha I don't think so

People just don't get it do they?

I wouldn't say that he got lazy, it took alot of work to screw up that truck like that.

67ChevyRedneck · 12-10-2004, 11:34 AM

Now that I look at it more.....does it look to anyone else that he even took time to lengthen the bed from the cab to wheelwells????? and 21,000??????? WTF???

sactoC10 · 12-10-2004, 12:01 PM

I've got a picture stashed somewhere on the PC of another one, think it was blue, that was mutilated in the exact same way. Not good at all. But...for somone in need of a nice cab and parts I'll bet everything but the frame and the bed are useable, no?

We'll have to all see what happens with it. It is fixable, for someone wanting to save it from its misery! :p

*Randy70C-10* · 12-10-2004, 06:44 PM

I fixed it.

chevyboy55 · 12-11-2004, 09:25 AM

his name does not fit the truck. rides4u2nv

, dont think so

Guys 71 · 12-07-2004, 08:02 PM

Wow!

**special-K** · 12-07-2004, 09:49 PM

Musta been a tow truck for mini-cars.

silvertonguedevil · 12-07-2004, 11:48 PM

The sad part is....that it was still probably a lot of work. It just needs to be crushed at this point.

Hang a wheel lift on the back of that thing. It would be the coolest re-po truck around.

4x4Poet · 12-08-2004, 07:12 PM

Are my eyes deceiving me? I don't mean the deformed look, I mean is that bed stuffed really close to the cab? I can't imagine the bed would clear the cab on a curb taken sideways.

Any buyer who wanted to install a stock-size bed would have to weld on extentions to the frame if not replace the frame altogether, right?

Otherwise, I see it as a tubbed wheelie truck.

Peregrine · 12-07-2004, 11:54 PM

if you kinda unfocus you're eyes.......

stickshift_or_walk · 12-08-2004, 12:35 AM

The only excuse I can think of for that surgery is an extreme case of rock-crawling 4x4 that wants to improve departure angle. But then, you probably wouldn't use a long wheelbase rig.

But dropped, with spokes? One word. Yuck.

68w/sbc406 · 12-08-2004, 12:59 AM

???WTF???

is the circus coming to town? i agree with above, he is selling it cause he is tired of owning an ugly truck

Gary · 12-08-2004, 12:34 AM

I dunno maybe it's the margaritas talking but ... I almost like it, if you tubbed the rear, moulded in the tailgate so it was no longer usable and put on a fiberglass cover and then used it to race maybe (street or strip I suppose) it could be done up to look kinda kickass, I dunno personally I don't think I'd do it but it could clean up into an interesting looking "oddball".
