world of wheels worthy? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

oldtrucknut · 01-24-2004, 06:25 PM

Hey guys, just wanted to know if it would be worth my time to take my truck to the world of wheels car show next weekend in Indy, or if I would be embarrased. I have never been to it before. BTW, I scored 85/100 at Super Chevy Show and got runner up in my class. Here are some pics. Thanks, and don't hesitate to be totally honest.

Nice

I bet you'll do really well

gr8scott51 · 01-24-2004, 07:06 PM

It's a great looking truck, you should be proud, but go to have fun, not with a trophy in mind.

good luck, scott

onetoncrewcab · 01-24-2004, 07:25 PM

Go for it. I also agree with what Scott said. Go and have fun and don't worry about the trophys. Although, that looks pretty good to me. I've seen some badly scratched and nicked stuff at WOW before.

1/2_man_1/2_amazing · 01-25-2004, 08:28 PM

I would deffinatly not be embarresed to own that truck. I would LOVE to see it in person. That's an ultra clean interior too. Nice work, NOW GO SHOW IT OFF.

are just signs that vehicles that are worthy of being shown are actually used to be driven as they should be.

If I can't drive it, I don't want it. If I want a vehicle I can rub with a diaper all day, I'd get the car on "Rides" the other night. The Enzo Ferrari.

Yeah right, like I'd WASTE $650,000 on ONE vehicle I wouldn't want to drive.

Take it to the show...take that back DRIVE IT to the show. I would.

tomsC10R · 01-25-2004, 08:48 PM

I agree with everyone else, go show it off, I know I would!! By the way, you did a great job with the interior!!

70c10 · 01-25-2004, 09:32 PM

AWESOME, GO GO GO!!!!!!!

69 air cab · 01-25-2004, 10:26 PM

Is that Tahoe seats? Do they put you closer to the steering wheel? Were they easy to install...............great truck........show it every chance you get.

lukecp · 01-25-2004, 10:34 PM

Take it

That truck is sweet!

One thing though....throw some new gas/brake/clutch pedal pads on there. I don't mean to nitpick your truck, it is 20x nicer than mine, but sinced you asked about taking it to a fairly high-profile car show i would do that if it were mine

oldtrucknut · 01-25-2004, 11:18 PM

Thanks guys, to answer your question, yes those seats came out of a tahoe. I paid $250 for them, the console and seatbelts. I just had to have a small piece of material replaced on the driver seat to make them look good.

Now, I just have to call to find out if I am too late to register for the show. Oh, and find an enclosed trailer to borrow- the roads are pretty nasty up here.

*Randy70C-10* · 01-25-2004, 11:34 PM

If you're fishing for compliments you'll definately get one from me. That's one sweet ride!!!

byrd32 · 01-25-2004, 11:42 PM

that isn't a vintage stepside or at least the rear half of the truck isn't.... shame on you... there's those 15 points. or more like 50 points! (it is half the truck isn't it?)

**Yukon Jack** · 01-26-2004, 01:15 PM

Great looking truck.

truck69 · 01-26-2004, 01:27 PM

I would say take it...Your truck looks great.
