Yes, but only if it came from Don Yenko's dealership.

Those trucks are awesome to "pick up chicks with on the beach"

Not sure if Florida is the right climate to be keeping an open top vehicle under a carport though -- check out the steering wheel fasteners

Re: chopped off top C10 on ebay

It's not horrible but it needs to be a fleet, it needs to be dropped, and the top needs to be cut off at the top of the doors... it would look MUCH better like that

Heck, if you do all that, it's nothing more than a "longbed" blazer with the top off. I'm not sure why y'all are ripping on it? Do you not like blazers?

Although, I will admit that this is a little bit sketchy:

Maybe if he wasn't building it to pick up chicks his wife would be OK with it?

I agree. No top is kinda cool, well, cause it kinda looks like a blazer. Chop tops just don't look right with these trucks. There are a lot of rides that look great with one but not these trucks.

Looks like the black paint and the windshield tilted back makes it look longer. Just me.

Chop plus one-piece wiondows (or at least no vent windows) makes the door look longer.

Re: chopped off top C10 on ebay

Ya know, it aint that bad.
Put it on the ground and paint it, and it wouldnt be a bad truck if it could be kept on the cheap.
Maybe the roof was rusted or damaged. There could be a reason behind all of this.
Now I live not too many miles away from Liquordale and used to live right on Commercial Blvd. So I can assure you, you wont be scammin' any ladies with that.

Re: chopped off top C10 on ebay

Maybe the top was rusted out? Looks like someone went nuts with the bondo and florescent green. Maybe if he finds the other half of the V-6 he'll get more offers
