Considering we have alot of Mexican people here on this website, I dont think that is cool to say the way you said it. I guess its a good thing this guy isnt a member here because he would probably feel pretty bad with all this BS negativity. Regardless of the style, good or bad, I got to give him credit for being different.

I hear ya. There are stereotypes everywhere, for everyone. There are some that reflect positively, and those that reflect negatively. Some people need to have thicker skin and stop

I have met a lot of different people from a lot of different places, pretty much all of them have acknowledged any bad stereotypes that might follow them. After talking to them I realize they will probably use negative/derogatory terms towards their own peers that have it coming just as much as I will.

po·lit·i·cal cor·rect·ness
Noun
A doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical, liberal minority and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd by the clean end.

For my on topic comment: part that thing out, someone had no business getting near it with a sawzall.

Cool mod yes, but its done all hillbilly style! I think thats like watching someone put a Toyota engine in a nova, u can "tastefully" merge old and new in little ways but that is just fugly.

Why not just put a shortbed on a C30?

J Knight · 02-28-2013, 06:51 PM

Looks kinda K-ish30 to me.

I'm sure glad I wandered over here from the 60-66 forums. This is high quality entertainment!

oltronj · 03-01-2013, 12:31 AM

I saw one of those here in Montana about 2 months ago and nearly got in a wreck cause I was looking at it and not the road. Not my taste but I can appreciate the uniqueness of it.

I don't know . . . pretty creative, and somebody was willing to put a lot of effort into what they thought was cool. It's no worse than the Honda Ridgeline!

That truck is SWEET!!

hick · 03-01-2013, 04:59 PM

So.... Maybe I shouldn't be admitting this but I built one of these in highschool... haha

Being in highschool i had ZERO money so I did it the way these guys did. I cut the back off and just tried sliding it up behind the rear seat... It worked, but not very well haha

I learned what I should have done was bought a junk cab and use the back off that cab.

I never considered the blazer idea...

Say what you want but it was a fun project for me in highschool. I learned a LOT of metal skills... and knowning when I am in over my head. I also got marks for it in class so it was a win win

I use the truck as a gopher hunting truck with my cousins now. So enjoy these pictures and realize that yes, there really are these ppl out there and i'm one of them haha
