Nice, I like the burnt orange with the black. not so big on the flames between. Nice rims. wow, wasnt expecting to see a plain vortec in there. Well done interior, must ahve taken a long time, dont like the wheel. Bed is fairly nice, nice work on that frame.

Travis 8128 · 11-10-2007, 10:27 PM

ya im not really into cutting into the bed like that or the flames and the newer motor either but that thing is still sick

koolky · 11-10-2007, 10:30 PM

Personaly, i would ahve gone with a 6.0L truck engine from a Chevrolet; LQ9 or LQ4. Just switch out the intake and cam and you pretty much a have a steel block LS2, only diference is a little less compertion. go with a T56 6 speed, 12 bolt rear. C notch and drop on air.

Travis 8128 · 11-10-2007, 10:37 PM

it is cnotched and dropped on air

koolky · 11-10-2007, 10:39 PM

lol, sorry, im not the best at spelling

Looks like good quality work but there is to much I don't care for.

They pretty much destroyed the dash. The gauges DON'T fit the flow of the dash lines in the least. Neither does the ac/heat control.

Why leave a big hole in your bed like that? Suppose if its going to be trailer/show only truck it's ok to show the frame work.

I've never cared for those phantom grilles especially with the gaps so large between the bars. I have seen a couple truck that pulled the look off nicely with the phantom grille but I don't believe this is one of them.

I do like the rust orange with the black, and even the flames seperating the two colors is ok.

Like I said it does look like quality work and I have to give credit for that but I overall I personaly don't like it.

Just my 2 cents

I agree with sick69, its too much, I would have made it nice and simple. Also im not big on that digital dash, they are a pain, my 55 bel-air had one, and had soo many problems.

boogie67 · 11-10-2007, 11:06 PM

I love it.Its different and I like different.Not like all the yellow and red running around town.

Travis 8128 · 11-12-2007, 11:22 AM

ya but you guys gotta remember that this is a show truck and it probably wont see too much other than the show floor and plus i don't think this guy was going for a restored look he went all custom i mean why not when he has his own shop to play with whatever he wants

Mondo · 11-12-2007, 05:26 PM

Got to give credit to the guy for making his vision come true.... wish I could do that.
But since I can't, I'm pretty much buying off the shelf stuff to make it unique. And staying kind of conservative, even thinking of painting it red

Travis 8128 · 11-12-2007, 08:48 PM

haha lol im actually going orange and black kinda like that but no flame in the middle and maybe a little dif. orange
