Re: PowerBlock ’71 Chevy Cheyenne
Could lose the front spoiler, otherwise, looks pretty hot! Will have to watch that one.

Re: PowerBlock ’71 Chevy Cheyenne
I agree with the front spoiler but it is still a very nice truck.

Re: PowerBlock ’71 Chevy Cheyenne
certain things look nice (wheels, bed cover, stance) and other things not so nice (front air dam, etc)

Re: PowerBlock ’71 Chevy Cheyenne
I appreciate the work that has gone into that truck, but I sure as heck wouldn't want it. Just does not appeal to me.

Re: PowerBlock ’71 Chevy Cheyenne
I saw a custom E150 van when I first saw the picture to be honest, I mean clean up the front and it wouldn't be too bad.
It is said to be a collaboration project of a father and son ... ... opinions are like ***holes, everybody has one and they usually stink

Re: PowerBlock ’71 Chevy Cheyenne
It looks like someone put a cowcatcher on it... maybe to push dead squirrels off the road? I like the green, though.

Re: PowerBlock ’71 Chevy Cheyenne
Be a very nice truck w/o the air dam,billet grill and flames.
Like they say theres an ass for every seat and the owner put alot of hard work and effort into the truck

Re: PowerBlock ’71 Chevy Cheyenne
I'll take the truck..... It may not be my cup of tea with the color are front spoiler, but the craftsmanship is there and was done well. You can take off the spoiler and re-paint it. Kudos to the F & S project.
Everyone who has said it's ugly/threw up in my mouth a little/etc... Have we seen your vehicles on TV? They must have done something right to catch some one's eye and thought it was well done to be on TV. Oh wait, you must be the people that like your trucks all rusty and dented up...... |

Re: PowerBlock ’71 Chevy Cheyenne
While the work that went into it was respectable, definitely not what I would want.

Re: PowerBlock ’71 Chevy Cheyenne
I am not big on that flame job job but otherwise I am in the minority because I think it is a good looking truck

Re: PowerBlock ’71 Chevy Cheyenne
WOW this side of the board is harsh
congratulations to the builders on putting together a project that most of us all aspire to build (a father and son build) as to all the critics well to each his own..... after all we all have seen what you drive |

Re: PowerBlock ’71 Chevy Cheyenne
The front end is over-accessorized for my tastes....but nothing that can't be unbolted and changed. Looks like a lot of time and money went into it.

Re: PowerBlock ’71 Chevy Cheyenne
Is that air dam bolted on or is it welded into the bottom of the fenders? I can't tell from that pic. I guess I just don't get an air dam like that. Any real driving and it won't look good/last for very long. Love that green.

Re: PowerBlock ’71 Chevy Cheyenne
I usually love most of the stuff they do on powerblock.... this, I do not like.
The air dam looks really goofy. Never been a fan of huge wheels. But the thing that I think makes it look the worst of all, is that they put trim OVER a flame job. You can't have it both ways. It either needs to lose the trim or the flame job. I think that is what is making it look "wierd." take away the side trim (and spoiler) and I think it would have looked MUCH MUCH cooler. However, it looks much better than my pile, most of that stuff can be swapped back to factory.

Re: PowerBlock ’71 Chevy Cheyenne
To the builders beautiful craftsmanship, you guys did a nice job
To the guys on the board everyone is entitled to their own opinion on here which I respect, but you guys do have to admit they did great work My opinion, would rmove the front spoiler and side molding top and bottem and put a 67 grille on it......Just my opinion |

Re: PowerBlock ’71 Chevy Cheyenne
Congrats father & son for building a nice truck and getting it on tv to boot!
I would be very surprised if the owners were not members of this forum....

Re: PowerBlock ’71 Chevy Cheyenne
Much much better. Though I think full phantoms look pretty good. If I had a '69 or '70 I would consider it
