Love it! That is great...

First thing I thought is, "Why would you mount that ugly tach on such a nice dash?"

a very nice truck , but it dose need a few touches ,
Loose the body kit , wheels , bug catcher , a lil black pin stripe to break up the red because WOW .
But all in all it is a very nice truck

Agreed, the body kit is WAY too 80's.... Take it off & drive it till the wheels fall off!!!

hmm musta missed the dash tac, thats gotta go

I would ditch the body kit and roll pan,replace the tube grill with a billet grill imo 80's model trucks look better with billet grilles,break up the sea of red with chrome bumpers front and rear,some slight pinstriping on the body itself,remove all of that wood on the interior and replace with the stock style bezel's and paneling or maybe a combo of stock/billet or maybe all billet and of course get rid of that steering wheel.Other than that i like whats on the truck then drive it until the wheels fall off.Sounds like it could be a nice buy with alot of potential.

give them ground effect i have been looking for a set for a long time now!
the only thing i would change is remove the hood scope and huge tach

1tonchevy · 04-23-2011, 09:21 AM

like it but the body kit looks unfinished as there is no front peice making it look odd.

I don't care for the hood cut out, but otherwise, I'd drive it as is.

Pop's C-10 · 04-23-2011, 11:18 AM

Change tha mirrors, lose tha injector & bolt on a cowl hood..

low man · 04-23-2011, 11:29 AM

looks like its got a lot of potential and its clean,if the price is right, would by it and just change the little things that you dont like.

*C-10 simplex* · 04-23-2011, 11:42 AM

Honestly, not only does it not get my tail wagging, it turns me off; i like things pretty much stock---the grill is a turn off, having that wide of a tire for a street driven truck seems to me impractical.

i do like the induction system however!

But the question was "if you saw it driving down the street," which means i would not be able to see the tunnel ram and therefore would pay the truck no mind. Honestly, these days a diesel chevette would garner more attention from me. Or anything diesel for that matter considering gas prices.
