saw this at a show - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

bigblock73 · 06-23-2007, 07:01 PM

Saw this at Back to the 50's this weekend, it was at a vendor booth. Thought the tail lights were pretty neat. The whole truck is cool, but it needs to be lowered a little, and the front wheel/tire package is too wide IMO.

Just sharing what I saw.

wow stock hieght FTL but I'm glad someone tried the caddy lights in the steak pokets, I had been pondering doing that very thing myself, but I dont like it too much now that i see it. Nice truck though

Okay, if that thing looked like that and it was me who built it like that you can bet it corners like it's glued to the road and it hauls ass like there ain't no tomorrow

Pretty badass truck, pics saved to my laptop for future reference

87 STEPPER · 06-24-2007, 06:53 PM

Nice looking truck i like the way they made the bottom of the stake pockets match the curve of the roll pan.

No, I only have those three shots. The engine bay was clean, but nothing real special...so I didn't snap any pics of it.

If I was the company that did the work on this truck, I would have smoothed the back of the cab...where the recess' are...to me, they just stand out on stepsides like a sore thumb.

Hoods69BadBowTie · 06-24-2007, 07:47 PM

I think it looks pretty sweet. I agree it needs to go a little lower but other then that its a bad ride. I kinda like the tail lights as well!

75silverstep · 06-26-2007, 12:41 AM

Oh, to heck with that, everybody and their mom has a lowered truck already! I liked it a lot more like it is originally, it looks mean and racey then, now y'all turned it into just another lowered truck. To each their own I guess, but I'd rather keep this one as is and lower a 1-ton crew-cab dually with big-rig wheels instead

86swb · 06-29-2007, 10:41 PM

I agree, the 2nd picture lowered I must say looks better.

turbo350 · 06-30-2007, 04:40 PM

Lowering a truck may look cool but it really takes away your capability to haul or tow, which is what trucks were meant for in the first place.
