WHAT another Gumby?

RideTech's "Gumby" C10 in Street Trucks

Street Trucks just released its 2011 July issue and included is an article about our green 72' C10 truck we dubbed "Gumby." It highlights the Ridetech air suspension setup we installed on the truck and makes note of its low stance and good cornering abilities.

The article can be downloaded [ Click Here ]. Don't forget to pick up a copy of the magazine also.

I thought the same thing when I saw it. Color-blind?
That would make Pokey red wouldn't it?

There will only be one real Gumby.
The rest are clones.
(Or is that "tributes"?)
