Can you find a flaw?

With this truck? I'm drooling so hard, I gotta find something wrong with it to make me feel better about my truck that has so very far to go yet.

Re: Can you find a flaw?

Yea I saw this awhile back also, but I did notice that the chrome bezel that goes behind the wiper switch is missing! lol
Other than what has already been mentioned your guess is mine.

Re: Can you find a flaw?

I enjoyed the video the 1st time I saw it as I did moments ago!
It was ask to find a flaw so I took the time to watch the video again and noticed the missing bezel!
I'm not bashing the truck nor the video!
Glad your truck is complete, best of wishes to you and yours!

Re: Can you find a flaw?

Just saying it is what it is...its the best video I've seen featuring one of our trucks...not that it is the the best truck itself...every truck has its flaws thats for sure...and it depends on who is looking at it...as to what those so called flaws may be....just sit back and enjoy...

Dang......that's a pretty bold statement if you don't know who he is. What if he worked his A$$ off and paid for every part HE put on it. That would be pretty embarrassing.....don't you think? It's obviously a frame off and he has all the pics of the progress. I don't get how you can spot the "punk" in him....


Agreed with above......that was a flat out cool video!

Re: Can you find a flaw?

Bunch of things wrong.
1. It's not a Suburban
2. It's not an 8 lugger
3. It's not a 4x4
4. It's not a 68
5. It's an automatic
6. The headlights are crooked
7. Oh never mind!

Really, it's a very nice truck and the owner is obviously very proud of it. Kudos to him for putting together a really nice rig, and he is driving it while enjoying the fruits of his labor. Nothing wrong with that!

The video is cool, though the music doesn't match the video IMO.

Take it easy, he is a forum member.

Nice truck no matter who it belongs to. Any kid that even appreciates old trucks these days is alright in my book... and what's wrong with being punk, anyways?

Re: Can you find a flaw?

It is a great video. While I understand that no truck is perfect, the HD and the sheer filming quality makes this excellent. I agree about choosing a different song, for our trucks, my mind always seems to play Aerosmith's "Sweet Emotion". Just my .02, though.
