at first i hated it, then i liked it, and then i hated it again and finally i decided i would never put the time into doing this to a truck but if i could have this truck for free i would take and put the finishing touches on it.

I think it's horrendous. But to each his own.

*ksjh1316* · 09-19-2007, 10:39 PM

I love his answer as to why the heck he punished the old 68 shows what we are dealing with real fast

**LEEVON** · 09-19-2007, 10:54 PM

It's kinda like that old saying "A face only a mother could love".

The guy is probably a fabrication wiz, what I can't understand is why spend so much time and money to do something so "different"

and just turn around and sell it????

Good point!

Wow the proportion of the tall cab with the short front clip make me think FORD RANGER! That is beyond ugly. that is just wrong. I do think that style step side bed looks better on there than the 88-98 style everyone likes using. Still the original beds looked the best and still do. If he wanted a new GMC he should have just bought a new GMC. That is my opinion.

thats exactly the way I feel. If you want a new truck just buy one and not make a old one look somewhat like a new one??????

steveo10 · 09-19-2007, 12:18 AM

thats alot of time and money to make something look that bad.

it just seems like it would take a crap load of work for something that really isnt that "off the wall". i mean it looks just like a slightly modified 2002..definately not a 68

Rascal_one2001 · 09-19-2007, 12:37 AM

why waste a cab he should have just bought a 02 gmc. but mabe he stepped back from it and said wow thats horrible and decided to sell it off before anyone saw that he owned it.

70c10 · 09-19-2007, 07:09 AM

Rather than convert a real 68' to a modern day look alike- I would rather see GM take a new truck and do a retro version!

Bowtie001 · 09-19-2007, 07:49 AM

I like the 'actualized' interior - because before that, it was merely a figment of his imagination.

sneakysnake · 09-19-2007, 09:18 AM

"A" for effort,but it looks like it would have been easier to do a top swap and got the same look.

**70cst** · 09-19-2007, 09:33 AM

This brings us to another point. When one does a rodded/modded truck...it might work for the owner...but not for the "eyes of the beholder". I think sometimes it is harder to sell an extreme modded truck than one that is closer to stock. I guess it comes down to the finished product. I like the looks of our trucks as they came from the factory. Although slight modified trucks are ok. IMHO As has been said it is hard to make our trucks look ugly but some come awful close.

RicksTrucks · 09-19-2007, 01:38 AM

I think the bed looks better than the other later models people have been using.

**70cst** · 09-19-2007, 01:51 AM

It's like putting a square peg in a round hole. It just doesn't fit.

brak · 09-19-2007, 04:17 AM

if he wanted a new GMC why didn't he just buy a new GMC ?????

I don't get it

**special-K** · 09-19-2007, 06:07 AM

Don`t people like these trucks for what they are?Why nt pick on some other trucks?Some just don`t get it.I feel sorry for both trucks....yeeeuk!!!
