So im cruisin ebay and I came across this... its kinda off looking to me.

loweredd · 07-28-2003, 03:44 PM

The inside and the engine compartment look good, but the back of the bad looks goofy for some reason........

r0lf- · 07-28-2003, 03:53 PM

I think its the frontend that just looks insanely bad to me.

apstguy · 07-28-2003, 03:59 PM

It looks a little off. The interior is just too gray and too plain.

BigRed · 07-28-2003, 04:51 PM

The front-end and the graphics do look like a$$ but the rest is ok to me.

87 STEPPER · 07-28-2003, 05:48 PM

The truck looks o-kay to me.

There just crappy photo's taken with crappy camera IMO.

C&C Chevy · 07-28-2003, 07:05 PM

The price seems way off to me.

C-10volvo · 07-28-2003, 07:43 PM

where did all the chrome go????? but i do like the dash

Russell · 07-28-2003, 09:49 PM

I like his wheels....

bigd65 · 07-28-2003, 10:57 PM

i like the whole truck. i wish mine looked that good. and im a fan of gray.

lofat · 07-29-2003, 01:00 AM

it looks like a tennis shirt.

only a guy named skip would drive that truck.

navybear70 · 07-29-2003, 01:49 AM

1. Price looks OK, maybe a little high. But that laughable apprasial has ta go!

2. Somehow, the whole body seems...hmmm...just wrong somehow. I can't put my finger on it.

3. Yes the front-end is definitely altered to the point of ludicrious. Too much white! The thing must look like a snowstorm going down the freeway!

4. I like the interior. I LOVE that seat, I gotta get one of those!

'89Z71 · 07-29-2003, 01:55 AM

Maybe the reason it looks funny is because of the lack of tailgate and rear bumper. I think the truck looks awsome. Just my opinion tho.

Low83 · 07-29-2003, 01:55 AM

I don't see nothing wrong with it, it's been shaved of all emblems and drip rails, the taillights have been filled and a roll pan installed, probably with slotted taillights, it has a mono paintjob with no chrome except the door handles, don't really care for the graphics but it's a lot nicer than some trucks that have been shown here

,don't think the photos do it any justice.

TN farmer · 07-29-2003, 08:03 PM

It does not have any mirrors, makes it look strange to me.

lofat · 07-29-2003, 11:36 PM

to my eyes it's too clean but not in a good way. for me what looks off about it is the color scheme. the white dash, white wheel, white gauge trim, on a white truck is overload. just a white dash - to me looks strange.

he filtered his engine photos and that makes it look all the more strange to me.

chevychic · 07-30-2003, 02:11 AM

It's the bumper and trim around the grill that doesn't look right to me. I love the interior...very clean. Although a lavender engine??? Looks like a chick truck. Not to be offensive to any chicks on the board...oh wait...that would be me....nevermind

Very clean, but he could've chosen a different color scheme.
I can't stop looking at that interior! Very plush and soft looking.

bagged81 · 07-30-2003, 07:08 AM

He either did not put the chrome around the grill/headlights or he painted them. Either way, there needs to be something done to break up all that white on the front end. Also, it needs a chrome front bumper too.

Just my opinion though.

Marks 85 · 08-03-2003, 11:15 AM

Steering wheel is not straight w/ the wheels

C&C Chevy · 08-03-2003, 12:26 PM

Here's the question. Why would a truck with only 33,000 miles on it need a frame-up restoration? He says it has a clear title too... hmmm...

87 STEPPER · 08-03-2003, 01:40 PM

C&C,

I think that 33k is refering to the amount of miles since the completion of the restoration. Not the actual original milage!

What's wrong with a '78 having a clear title???

Mark's 85,

I think the steering wheel was intentionally inatalled that way iv'e seen this alot and for the life of me i can't understand that or why someone would do it or think's it look's cool.

He probably wares his hat bakerd's an skideways

Now here's a few thing's i didn't notice the first time i looked at it.

The front bumper doesn't look right like it's from another brand of truck or something.

And in the optinon's list he say's it has ABS??? on a '78!? and if you look at the left eng.pic at the master cylinder no ABS equipment is installed.

Also that truck has pwr. lock's and manual window's what's up with that?

Chevyboy1962 · 08-03-2003, 07:23 PM

The wheels don't look like they're centered in the wheel wells, but it's probably the angle the pics were taken.
I think the truck looks pretty lean.
