another 53" tire truck...2WD! lol - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Isn't it a shame that some people waste a good truck...

Not the worst that i've seen but he can't hook up the front driveshaft? and it's pushed by a stock 5.3L! The inside is uglier than the outside...

Rad! No hydraulic assist, and a rusty front swaybar? Sign me up !

OldCreek · 01-03-2008, 09:08 AM

Wow, surprised to see an H052 on the back of that.

Plumbnutz · 01-03-2008, 09:14 AM

Not a big fan of all-show no-go trucks. I prefer trucks that are functional and practical to use everyday but that's me to each their own.

I would say that this truck sums that up.... I don't think the three link in the rear looks very durable, not with those big'o tires hanging out there....

Plumbnutz · 01-03-2008, 10:18 AM

and for as little as $20K, you could have a driveway Princess

I don't think my neighbors would let me keep it in the driveway....

**special-K** · 01-03-2008, 11:21 AM

Seems about 18" taller than it needs to be.

CDA 455 · 01-03-2008, 12:25 PM

That thing wouldn't even make a good parts rig

!

vtblazer · 01-03-2008, 12:50 PM

Current bid is over 20K...WTF!!!

msgross · 01-03-2008, 02:23 PM

didn't make reserve...

ya know... with all that custom suspension work they could have made the front axle fall under the wheel well!

Prerunner1982 · 01-03-2008, 02:51 PM

with the control arm mounts that low he needs to clock the transfer case like the monster trucks do and then the driveshaft angle wouldnt be so steep.. would be even better if it had 2.5ton axles...

68K20 x Drill · 01-03-2008, 11:24 PM

Looks to me like the upper halves of the coil overs are there for looks, but are held from moving.

**special-K** · 01-04-2008, 03:40 AM

Duece and a 1/4 axles are worm-drive top-loaders.Much better angle.

72BlckButy · 01-04-2008, 03:45 AM

Just 'cause you can doesn't mean you should...

wibilly · 01-05-2008, 07:02 PM

what does it do well ? this is a ? i ask myself when i get ready to spend a few coins

royo · 01-06-2008, 03:20 PM

Hay thats a bada$$ ride i dont know where you could drive it but its kool nice wheels too

ks147j111928 · 01-06-2008, 05:08 PM

Wonder if anyone asked where the front d-shaft is...? That's a lot of $$$ to blow on a 4x4! Er, 4x2!

shilo · 01-09-2008, 08:45 AM

HAHAHAHAh! That is the dumbest thing ive seen in a while. I like the spikes on the arm rest. Gotta be really comfortable.

earl87gta · 01-10-2008, 10:00 PM

a little to ugly for me.
