Nawww, that trucks rear is cool. A different kind of Pro Street. I would have picked different wheels though.

It sounds like you guys resent the fact that he's sucessful and got money. What's wrong with that?

I think the truck is Tit's and shows a lot of innovation. It's well done and tasteful.

As far as being modified would you guys want all icecream to be vanilla? I don't think there's anything wrong with the truck, other than it's not mine.

I thought this was a board for everybody that loves Chevy trucks.

I personally don't like what has been done to this truck. But I think it shows a lot of knowledge, creativity, skill, planning, and innovation. These are the ingredients for keeping our hobby going. Even though we all like our trucks, we need to see things done to them that we haven't seen before. Take a look at street rodding. It's been going since the 1940'seven though it had a falling out in the 70's. I think it was in the 80's that the sport began to grow again. Big time innovators like Boyd came along with some ideas that no one had seen before. Now it's people like Chip Foose and Bobby Alloway that are the Boyd Coddington of today. I think it's amazing. And I fully expect our trucks to do the same thing. We'll have a falling out too if we don't have people being creative and going out on a limb with their ideas. That takes balls.

Don't like the truck? Don't build yours like that.

I don't like what was done to the truck either. He's messed to much with the original lines of the truck, which is why they are so popular. I do like the rear end set up. If I ever redo the rear of my truck, i'll probably switch to coil overs.
