...how is this for a custom '67
..check this out....this is a little on the radical side for me, but you can some evidence that it is/was a chevy, lol.
https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/6816386519.html The guy probably has a lot more into it than the $35k asking....but hey, it is/was his truck he can customize anyway he wants. ...looks a bit like a silver batman theme kind of thing going. all good Coley

There is probably an hours worth of work for every dollar he is asking for it.... I like the front, but the back not so much. LockDoc

Re: ...how is this for a custom '67
It was posted in the Craigslist finds thread. Looks like a Bad Chad custom.
Let’s see how long it takes for the bashing and this thread getting closed

Re: ...how is this for a custom '67
...yeah, I see no need to bash the truck.
This is/was this guy's style....and was his business, no problem. To each his own....someone is going to love it. Its a good idea tho' to remember 'the market' when you start to customize your truck noting that you in all likelihood will not get paid for highly personal touches that may not be of interest to the general purchaser. So.....don't hold your breath on getting your money back on the labor, etc. The same holds true for selling your house. You are told by the realtor to remove all of the family/personal stuff (ie: pictures, etc) so that the house appears neutral...which prompts more buyers to be interested. Hopefully the truck finds a good home and he gets back some of his money on it.....and although its not my style, kudo's to the guy for his own effort and his own vision for his truck...it was his thing. (note: in my opinion, he would be well served to include a lot more quality photos/pics that what he has posted here tho'....given the uniqueness, value, etc.......including the interior, underside, engine, etc) All good Coley

Re: ...how is this for a custom '67
The SPID...that's too funny! I would like to see the interior up close. I doubt they have glove boxes in the future for the SPID. If it does the SPID says..."Options...whatever you can dream up"
Fantastic work really. I love the CUSTOM design work in the cab and front clip and the bed's very Indy-Like. I wonder if it has bed storage space or if it's all merely a cover for the rear suspension. Either way..."All steel fabrication"...that's some time with a welder and grinder!

Re: ...how is this for a custom '67
This would look right at home in some sci-fi movie.
And that’s where I would like it, just so I can say, “ hey! They based that on the coolest truck ever built” Just like Corvette Summer, would never own the car but I like it in the show.

Re: ...how is this for a custom '67
I like it. There was a guy at goodguys that took a 60-66 c10 he made it into a roadster and chopped and sectioned the body slammed it and left it all in bare metal. By the time he was done it was closer to a 32 roadster than a c10 but it sure was neat and got a lot of attention

Re: ...how is this for a custom '67
does it say rack and pinion rear end?
I do like the front end. like a highly modified 66 front end but the flow-y rear fenders. not so much. I agree though, a lot more pics should be posted

Re: ...how is this for a custom '67
It might not take much to making it a more stock custom: replace the box and the front end with factory parts, and leave the cab and drivetrain alone. Sell those parts to someone who is into that look. I think you could come out ahead, not a bad price when you look at it that way.

Re: ...how is this for a custom '67
What I would like to see in his description is how the body mods were executed, from an interested in buying standpoint. I'd want to know if it is metal fab work, fiberglass or other composite, or what. Seems important to know before considering. I think it would be a gas to drive around, for the reactions. Not sure how many "Wanna sellits" you'd get, but certainly a conversation piece. How about watching it blast down the dragstrip or around the track? That thing is screaming for electric power!! Better show pictures since it should sell quick .

Re: ...how is this for a custom '67
The ad says it's all metal, so there's probably no fiberglass involved.

Re: ...how is this for a custom '67
Must have scanned right over that when I checked. I see it clear as day now. So next comment is at least one interior picture would be nice.
I'd consider it but I don't think it fits the way I dress and I'm just not quite sure I want to change to this

Re: ...how is this for a custom '67
I am not a fan. I see no usable parts there besides the drivetrain. I think that will be tough to sell.

Re: ...how is this for a custom '67
He really should advertise it in Tokyo. Those people go for styling like this.

It DOES, however, have the required Corvette engine.
