I saw this red truck at the end of the world run in ocean park,Wa. I thought you pic junkies would like it. It sounded nasty. The green truck belongs to a buddy of mine, it was alot of fun just sitting in the lawn chairs with some cold ones watching everyone come into to own.

Slick67 · 09-20-2010, 10:38 PM

Yep. That green one is awesome!

72BlckButy · 09-20-2010, 10:52 PM

more partial to the green one, but can respect the work that went into the red one.

is that a stock green color?

butternut1972 · 09-20-2010, 11:27 PM

Yes it is stock olive green. The truck is all original #'s matching. It was restored about 10 years ago. My buddy lowered it,18" and 20" coys, changed the exhaust. It is a killer truck.

Green truck is beautiful, when he is ready to sell it let me know. I would sell everything I own and sleep in it if need be.

Andy4639 · 09-21-2010, 11:13 AM

Like the green the best but doesn't it need some air in those tires are is it the shadow of the truck making them look so low.That front tire looks almost like it's into the ground.

The rears are 295/40/20, fronts are 245/45/18. let me know if you want to know anything else.

chevy_mike · 09-21-2010, 11:48 AM

Love the green one outside of one detail, which is easy to fix. Please have him align the bed and cab so the body lines/trim line up. Looks like the cab needs to come up in the back or the bed down in the front.

Outside of that, awesome truck!

PipsC10 · 09-21-2010, 11:50 PM

I found it. Listing my 3 year old and 5 month old on e-bay, asking $29,000 for the pair. I reserve the right to end the auction early for local buyers.

It's 5/7.

19seventeeCustom · 09-23-2010, 09:52 PM

green truck is so sick!!!!

It's amazing what wheels and a drop do to an otherwise very stock appearing vehicle.

I've seen it for sale for a month or two and have been drooooling over it ever since!!!!
