What would you think if you saw this truck driving down the street or at a show?

Re: Opinions on this truck
I would think it was a nice truck with some tasteless modifications.

Re: Opinions on this truck
Nice truck. I'm not much on hood scops or tunnel rams, but it's nicer than my truck, so who am I to criticize?

Re: Opinions on this truck
I would ditch the body kit and drive the hell out of it.

Re: Opinions on this truck
Not mine. I have a pretty good shot at getting it but trying to get some outside opinions. I know the truck is dated but is rust free, has a stout 396, TH400, 9 inch rearend with 4 link and a great price. I have been looking for a decent square for a few weeks and kinda lucked into this one. I would definately make a few changes but would want to drive it while I do.

Re: Opinions on this truck
Agreed, the body kit is WAY too 80's.... Take it off & drive it till the wheels fall off!!!

Re: Opinions on this truck
I like it, cool period piece.
I'd swap the bug catcher for a BDS dual carb scoop... Done. It's ok to not be a card carrying member of the "me too" crowd. Last edited by lakeroadster; 04-22-2011 at 03:07 PM. |

Re: Opinions on this truck
When the movie back to the future came out I would have thought that that was an awesome truck, but that is my opinion, do whatever floats your boat.

Re: Opinions on this truck
Sure it is dated, but it is cleaner/nicer than most of the trucks here on the board. I'd buy it for the right price, change a few minor things, and enjoy it.

Re: Opinions on this truck
Pretty much hit the nail on the head here. If it is as nice in person as it looks in the pics and the price is reasonable. Go for it. Removing that body kit and changing the steering wheel/grille would make a WORLD of difference in that truck.

Re: Opinions on this truck
I wouldn't change a thing it all looks great
how is it dated? it is an 80 or so? the body kit looks like all the "new" trucks have anyway up here at a "show " I'm sure you would have to wipe the drool off the fenders at the end of the day

Re: Opinions on this truck
not a bad looking truck. Everyone is entitled to their own taste. Looks a whole lot better than what you sometimes you see out in the streets.

Re: Opinions on this truck
After watching HG TV earlier today I'd say it needs granite counter tops, and stainless steel appliances.

Re: Opinions on this truck

Re: Opinions on this truck
Minus the body kit and add a few updated parts and it's good to go.
