A 67-72 in the running for the Ridler......that is cool. I know the pics are small but I just found these and wanted to share.

so, do you drive that thing or hand it on the wall??

I kinda like some of it a little bit.Looks like a Chevy.

Not my cup of tea but I can appreciate the level of work that went into it. I am not a fan of the stacked gauges but someone spent a lot of time on this thing. What is going on in the bed? I can't tell if it is a removable cover or plexiglass or what.

Any pics of the forward hood set up? And the extended hood over the cowl ? I've got the Buick hinge but always interested in how others tackle that mod .

Workmanship is A+.
Would I have it no I tend to drive mine every week. I bet that truck hasn't been drove at all. I love checking these trucks out but in reality I wouldn't want one.

It looks like it's hinged to come up to show the drive line and frame. Look at back of the truck in the bed looks like a rod holding it up.

looks like it has a 69 and up hood on it if you look at the front of the hood

I was at that show and was a little disappointed, only two 67-72 pickups in the entire show. On the plus side there was four blazers there.

I second that.

Are there any non drivers on the forums? I see a lot of really clean trucks aka TOTM's but most of them are parked somewhere in a field or whatever, anything but inside a showroom.

Not for me either !! But think of it guys one of our trucks in the running for the riddler how cool is that!! Bob
