Found a very rough shape truck on ebay..... what do you guys think? Looks to me like he bent everything up on the fenders so the tires would clear. Heres the link: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...tem=2419761211

I've seen this before....they cut out the fender, and then pop rivet on" flares " to keep the mud down. He actually attempted to " blend " them in! Could be a good truck, with some sheet metal, and a lift kit!

Looks like a war wagon!

Blue_71 · 06-16-2003, 08:03 PM

**old Rusty C10** · 06-16-2003, 08:19 PM

poor truck

toms68cst · 06-16-2003, 09:00 PM

Just what is "On-Board air with a 15 gallon tank"

Is that that propane tank sitting on the passenger's side floor?

It's sure a hack job. It would be fun to thrash around in though!

Blue_71 · 06-16-2003, 09:08 PM

on board air is usually a system run by the engine that can be used on the trail to use power tools or air up a tire

Jwill41 · 06-16-2003, 10:21 PM

does he mean the truck is "painted" with rhino lining???

**68Custom** · 06-17-2003, 03:27 PM

yeah it kinda looks like rhino lining on the surface. i bet that took forever to cover. but now it appears to be not a very well thought idea since he says its peeling in some spots, oh well

man if i had the money and the time i'd buy that in a heart beat. cut off those but ugly flares and put on some cut out flares. then beat the sh!t out off it 4 wheeling. cut out the bed floor and put in steel grating, move the rad to the bed. fuel cell in back. roll cage, and about 4 inches more of lift and that would be a mud pit monster.

Billy G · 06-17-2003, 08:18 PM

Yep....for the right price....it just might be a FUN toy.....to play with...experiment....If I could get it for $500...and pay about the same in shipping...I might just BID on it...heheheh

1969 GMC · 06-17-2003, 10:36 PM

that auction would be worth it just for the dana 60 and 70 axles, then all the other stuff (350/350/205, etc) would be a bonus

lpaine · 06-18-2003, 02:31 AM

That is definitely "custom butchery" if I've ever seen it

Southpa · 06-18-2003, 03:12 AM

Who cares??? The tires alone are worth about $1000 Cdn. Helluva deal!

VTKidder · 06-18-2003, 12:14 PM

Yuck....to each their own though. It WOULD be fun in the woods though.
