It's not my cup of tea, but I admire the work he has put into it.

Cya,

It might be me, but his pictures look out of proportion. Like the burb is taller than it really is, you know kinda "funhouse" style?........................Jerry

GreyHoundSteve · 05-12-2005, 09:17 AM

WOW, he's got some serous work into that. I like it.

Putter · 05-12-2005, 09:26 AM

That rear hatch is pretty cool. I had to stare at it for a few minutes. If it had different wheels on it, I'd drive it.

**CPNE** · 05-12-2005, 09:38 AM

I have to say I really like it...with 2 changes:

1. The back glass does make it look disproportionally tall, barn doors or stock hatch/liftgate for me.

2. Caddy tailights belong on ... well ... a friggin Caddy, but at least they didn't use something off a Colorado or Avalanche

Kudos to the builder for mixing old in new in a way that does not detract from the original (exceptions noted above). GM, you could build this too

shifty · 05-12-2005, 09:47 AM

I think it's a great idea. The only thing I don't like is the fitment of the dash. If you look at the upper part of the door jamb (pass. side), it looks pretty rough.

67ChevyRedneck · 05-12-2005, 09:52 AM

I love it. I'd buy it if I had the money, but I do agree the back glass has to go. Looking at the shot of just the rear, my first thought was "hearse." Also, a 4x4 should have real front and rear bumpers. Roll pans belong on 2wds. Like I said, I would definately buy it, lots of awesome ideas and still easy to work on! I do like the caddy lights in it....flame on

67ChevyRedneck · 05-12-2005, 09:59 AM

Anyone know what these things are??? They look like they should have a light bulb in them or something.......

Orange70chevy · 05-12-2005, 10:06 AM

This was at the pate swapmeet a few weeks ago. It was pretty nice. There are a few things that could be fine tuned. But other than that it was a pretty nice ride

Russell · 05-12-2005, 10:18 AM

Change the hatch and wheels, lower it a bit, and it'd be a good looking truck!

smokekiki · 05-12-2005, 10:26 AM

Change the hatch and wheels,raise it a little,put the stock bumpers on it,and it would be a good looking truck!

I could do without the late model dash, wheel, and taillights. everything else is pretty cool...i'd drive it

ed455 · 05-12-2005, 11:41 AM

I like everything but the back end. I could live with the dash and interior but the original dash would be better.

70 shorty · 05-12-2005, 12:14 PM

I like the late model dash and interior. I'd change the tires to bigger ones, stock back doors and tailights, and stock bumpers, so I guess stock body, late model interior and drivetrain

Bow Tie Johnny · 05-12-2005, 06:15 PM

For a "pimp ride" it really needs a drop and 20's. Really clean though

longnlow72 · 05-12-2005, 06:17 PM

i really like it, but why not go with 1 peice windows instead of those huge filler plates

1STtimePRo'71 · 05-12-2005, 06:45 PM

Maybe I'm weird, But I dont like one thing about it and deffinately wouldnt pay 14,000 for it. To "New" for me and I dont like the paint. Props to whoever put the work into it. That much time cant be ignored.

I thought the same thing, put the original lights back on, and some American Racing Torque Thrusts and it would be much cooler, still sweet though!!

Someone put a ton of time into that.I like it.

toddtheodd · 05-12-2005, 09:40 PM

That hatch looks like crap.
I'm cool with the rest of it though. Talk about old meeting the new.
