Do these grills look familiar? I found this picture while searching trucks on Craigslist. It was put in with a bunch of pics of a 67, but it had no description or relevance to the ad. They look like custom minis with right hand drive.

There was a post with some pictures of those a few months ago. I think they might have been over in Japan or something like that. They almost look like Scions.

looks like chopped up 67 and 71-72 front ends. interesting.

Oh yeah, they're Japanese. They have this thing going with retro-looking vehicles that we'll never see on this side of the pond. I remember seeing quite a few of them in whatever venue I was looking at. They are interesting, for sure....and easy on the gasoline budget.

I would totally rock one of those.

Yup they are from Japan. Had my friends from toyko look into the company for me when it was last posted. The bad thing is that we cant get the trucks they use to make them here in the USA. Unless you sneek one over and find a way to register it. The company that makes the retro chevy parts for them is called Blow......(something) cant member. The link above is the correct one I think.
