that poor truck has the potential to be sweet... all it needs is a cab change, and paint.

Fred T · 04-08-2003, 05:35 PM

Another case of the engine being worth more than the truck, and smarter than the owner!

tom hand · 04-08-2003, 05:42 PM

Hey but it has the "rare" cardboard vent window option

*rage'nrat638* · 04-08-2003, 05:54 PM

great if you got a flat head....and enjoy the bugs in the teeth look

Blue68 · 04-08-2003, 06:00 PM

You'd have to sit on the floor unless you are under 4ft tall (then you have the problem of getting into it.

Way I see it, he priced what the glass was going to cost after doing the chop and decided to run.

**1971Stepside** · 04-08-2003, 06:03 PM

Yeah, ready for glass! He probably chopped it and then discovered it is impossible to get a windshield to fit back into the cab. So, now it is for sale.

72BLAZERDUDE · 04-08-2003, 06:56 PM

Only one word describes that. WHY ????????????:

lunatic · 04-08-2003, 07:04 PM

Jason71k10 · 04-08-2003, 07:22 PM

Mark this under the "There ought to be a law against" header - LOL. I hope his engine building skills are better than his judgement.

pissonNOS · 04-08-2003, 08:12 PM

jeffbo · 04-08-2003, 08:25 PM

That is one of the fugliest trucks I've ever seen. What a shame.

jcueckert13 · 04-08-2003, 08:51 PM

i agree with jeffbo what the hell was this guy thinking. YOU DONT CHOP A 4X4

krue · 04-08-2003, 08:57 PM

I would have to say that he WASN'T thinking...

jcueckert13 · 04-08-2003, 09:05 PM

can we track him down and "chop 3 inchs" off of him

Suicide-D · 04-08-2003, 09:07 PM

"ENGINE RUNS AND READY TO DRIVE ON YOUR TRAILER. WILL BE A REAL EYE CATCHER WHEN YOU TAKE IT HOME" Eye catcher for sure... Because everyone will be thinking "why did they ruin that truck?"

Nova_Cobra64 · 04-08-2003, 09:51 PM

Chopped and shaved trucks do not belong up in the air.

*Gee_Emm* · 04-08-2003, 09:56 PM

Awesome, if it was only a 4X4, wait it is a 4X4

Blue Beard · 04-08-2003, 10:07 PM

He just redefined the word UGLY!!!!!

pissonNOS · 04-09-2003, 12:05 AM

I agree he should be chopped 3 inches DAMN

1969 GMC · 04-09-2003, 12:46 AM

THE WINNING BIDDER WILL HAVE A RARE 4X4 BIG BLOCK CHOPPED TRUCK.

Yeah, you know why they are so rare, dumbsh!t?

LOL those factory 454's in 67-72 trucks sure are rare

krazy_texan · 04-09-2003, 12:47 AM

in my opinion the only things that people should be allowed to chop are 20s and 30s and 40s coupes and a few of the trucks from that era everything else should stay, all i can say is that guy needs to have a few things cut a pasted to him
