I thought some of you might enjoy this. It is the first time I have seen this one on-line. Yes, it is a bit extreme, but It's just about right for me...

F%rd did something similar in the mid-sixties with it's fenders and body lines

**CPNE** · 09-29-2003, 04:09 PM

Here's a pic

SCOTI · 09-29-2003, 04:15 PM

A first, I thought the arches/bodylines resembled a 69 camaro..... but after looking @ it longer, it looks more along the lines of a toyo tacoma. Nice metalwork though.

Custom 68 · 09-29-2003, 04:20 PM

oh no Jeff My eyes...Those do look familiar hummmmm

paintpyro · 09-29-2003, 04:23 PM

LOL, just downloaded those myself. The two names are SIC MOTORSPORTS and Grants Kustoms

pat · 09-29-2003, 04:25 PM

Wow. I really like it. Didnt even notice the lines at first.

Sorry first thing I thought of. It is an eery likeness. Kinda like when you start talking and acting like your Father.

You guys just need to buy a 66 F@rd

Slammed67 · 09-29-2003, 04:35 PM

Similar to the Ford, but looks much better! A little extreme for me, but I kinda like it. Hmmmm? I've got some rust free short bed sides sitting down in my basement....... would could I do with those........

The Ford guys would be grateful. I don't think their SWB bedsides are being repro'd.

Smooth68 · 09-29-2003, 05:17 PM

Looks nothing like the Ford, I'd be ashamed to have compared our 67-72 body style to the Ford

- That's just a guy who likes to be uniqe

72shadetree · 09-29-2003, 05:38 PM

boy that is cool

jeff you can park that ford in my driveway anytime lol

MandarinSixSeven · 09-29-2003, 06:07 PM

wow that is definately cool...it looks awesome in bare metal, they should just polish it up a bit and spray it with a ton of clear coat, that would cool!!

I gotta agree with CPNE on this one, that looks like a chevy and a f%rd had sex and spawned evil FEVY babies

lukecp · 09-29-2003, 06:29 PM

I kinda like it....why the ford lines though? Hours of crafstmanship though...looks like bare metal and i don't even see a patch of filler

At least it was after the best looking series of Ford trucks ever IMO....if i ever ventrued into Fordland i would be after that series.

RON WOODGEARD · 09-29-2003, 06:30 PM

I like it real well, but, I thought the exact same ford body line thing when I very first seen the side view. Damned nice woek though.

Ron

Grant Fab strikes again they build some killer ****

crazy longhorn · 09-29-2003, 06:56 PM

Very nicely done! I think the added lines work well with the old chev.....man that is some awsome "tin work"! CrazyL

bigvinnie · 09-29-2003, 06:56 PM

someone melted a lotta lead on those rear qtrs to get those ford body lines... looks better on the ford.

72chevyLWB · 09-29-2003, 07:06 PM

I think its sweet. Only the rear line looks like the ford, the front is different and I doubt they were doing that to copy the ford. Did you guys also notice the cowl and the cab were welded together? Gonna suck to take those fenders back off. also what they did with the tailgate coming out like that and the diamond taillights. One thing that I don't like is that they completely got rid of the lower body line. Going to be awesome.

Blue4x4 · 09-29-2003, 07:33 PM

All that shaving work and they forgot to shave the antena..........lol

brad2 · 09-29-2003, 08:30 PM

WOW!!! Only problem with that one is that it doesn't belong to me.
