Earl Junior · 12-09-2002, 06:31 PM

Um...

WOW!

Someday I hope my truck is that nice. Except I'll have 80- or 90-thousand miles on it. What good is a cool truck if it always sits in the shop?!?

68_c10_on20s · 12-09-2002, 07:14 PM

i agree he got a ton of cash in that truck but what about those guchie rims cmon man for that price it needs 24s

Castiron9 · 12-09-2002, 11:08 PM

Can you say trailer queen

Lightspeed · 12-09-2002, 11:45 PM

wtf? for that kind of cash i would at least expect some tow hooks.

68_c10_on20s · 12-11-2002, 11:54 AM

ok the more i look at this truck the more i like that grille,but im wondering maybe some led turn signals between the 2 next to the lights and i would wanna keep my bumper,and one other thing is i really like those mirrors i got one pice windows for my truck too and would like to have some mirrors like that anyone know where they came from i was thinking of putting like 95-99 chevy truck mirrors on mine the kind that fold in but those do look pretty good......cmon boys gimmie some info

It don't even have windshield wipers and for the money someone put into it I would think it should wipe more than just the windshield.

Mandrake · 12-11-2002, 05:01 PM

What fun is a vehicle if you can't drive it anywhere? I'll pass on the trailer jobs. I had a show car once, but it was still my everyday driver. More money than sense I guess.

imaindianoutlaw · 12-11-2002, 06:37 PM

LOL at Lightspeed! Nice truck! Not functional but nice!

slam33 · 12-11-2002, 10:37 PM

All that work and thats the best they could come up with for mounting the clock. Cheap sony cassett radio, a SBC (oh gee ZZ4, ever hear of a big block ), pipes that run UNDER the rear Ford axle (smash ), swiss cheeze trailing arms ( should be boxed ), stock vib damper ( what no fluid damper ), so so weld rims. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice truck for a trailer queen but 34 grand it ain't.

Dean23 · 12-11-2002, 10:39 PM

Spent 70 g on it...... For that price it better have a bigblock, plus a lot of other go fast goodies. Also she seems to be runnin rich judging from the black above the exhaust tips. Nice truck though, just thimk more could have been done with 70g

694X4 · 12-12-2002, 07:54 AM

and why would you need a 80 gal. gas tank? I agree a 502 would have been my choice if I had that kind of money and wanted a crate motor.

Andy4639 · 12-12-2002, 01:18 PM

I have them on mine they are street scene mirrors, they are in all of the truck magazines.

*Randy70C-10* · 12-12-2002, 01:42 PM

The reason that the wipers were removed is most likely just for the photo shoot. Hotrod magazine does this as well, because it gives the car a cleaner appearance (like shaving the door handles). That truck just might have $70,000 in it, but I would have put that money into something that's actually worth that like a 34 Ford Coupe. He's going to lose his ass on this one!

GMC JUNKIE TOO · 12-12-2002, 09:14 PM

Well he has to trailer it because the trailing arms would snap off if he drove it, and what is up with the welded on tailgate. It probably cost him 70 grand because he figured in the legal fees and alamony from when his wife left him for spending so much money on the truck.

Slammed67 · 12-12-2002, 10:17 PM

$70,000??????? If he really spent 70K on that thing, the guy that built it is STILL laughing! That's gotta be a joke. There really isn't much special about it that I can see. Am i missing something? It looks very well built, but not enough goodies for $35k. With some bags and 20" wheels.... maybe.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 12-12-2002, 11:31 PM

Back in 2000 i saw that truck at hot rods by boyd when i was on vacation ......I guess when boyd builds it you pay .......
