Truck sighting at the Pate Swap Meet

I grabbed a picture of this neat rig last weekend. It was very well done. The guy was a craftsman and spent a lot of effort to build this truck. It had a 427 in it still.

Very nice truck.
I think I have the wife hooked into a similar project for our upcoming 5th wheel purchase.

That is very nice! Imagine a custom made slide-in camper to look like a camper from the era

Very nicely done. Especially like the Rear Flared Out Fenders on it.

I was looking over your build on BB. You have got a seriously nice truck there. I don't have those skills or even a place to build something like that, but job well done!
