change the glovebox, tailgate panel, seat cover, door panels, bed cover, and that bug guard, and the tube grill, and it would be sweet

**68 Stepside** · 08-11-2002, 02:15 PM

That place has ALWAYS been extremely high on prices, which would explain why they still have most of the inventory that they had when I found the site almost 2 years ago!

damn, wood armrests too.... just need a couple of wooden rocking chairs in place of the bench seat to complete the look...

hopefully that truck will get a third chance....

**Desert Rat** · 08-11-2002, 05:59 PM

Id agree tear out all interior put in some regular seats,door panels,cluster glove box,tailgate panel,then go to work on the front end,grille etc.looks like one of the old hokeys trucks around here.(no offense to those)different strokes for different folks! looks like alot of work done though

chevyman 68 C/10 · 08-11-2002, 09:32 PM

ugly!!!!

**chevy71super** · 08-11-2002, 10:08 PM

I wonder what they did with the radio?

Bamm · 08-11-2002, 11:12 PM

I hope he is sponsored by Orkin. A couple of termites away from complete junk. If your'e gonna have that much wood in a truck it better be in the bed...........IMO............JB

Beast388 · 08-11-2002, 11:21 PM

That looks like some wacked out evil conversion van customizer employee went a little too far........yukky!

weasel29gm · 08-11-2002, 11:33 PM

Gee what do you use to wax MINWAX???

Snowbound · 08-11-2002, 11:34 PM

That's one of those super rare "Bob Vila" special editions! One of you should snap that right up. Reminds me of a Lil Red express Dodge. ( gagging sounds )

Benrs86 · 08-12-2002, 12:08 AM

come on guys, give it a chance. it seems stupid to dis other peoples rides.

**basketcase** · 08-12-2002, 12:19 AM

It looks like it was done 10 - 15 years ago. At least in the style that was common then. At least it isn't out behind an old barn rusting. Wouldn't take a lot to bring it up to date.

the sign is right. are those mushrooms growing out of the cab.

Smooth68 · 08-12-2002, 01:04 PM

dubie · 08-12-2002, 01:53 PM

Gee guys, I kinda like that. It's nice to see that someone took their truck out of the norm. I think the wood sets the truck apart from any others. In the past I have thought about doing a wooden interior scheme with my truck. That was when the plan was to go with black or a deep purple, but seeing how the truck partially painted orange, the wood just doesn't fit in. I wonder if I would get the same reaction for you guys if I had gone and done the same ??? It's always a good thing to keep an open mind when you see so many of these trucks.

As for the price..... that's WAY to high. It looks like a $6000 truck to me.

Longhorn Man · 08-12-2002, 04:57 PM

I don't find the wood all that bad..I don't like the wood, but the rest of it makes it terible. Look at the door panels! Those things are way beyond ugly...and you could lose small kids in that seat...
I do try to keep an open mind, and I honestly can apreciate what peolpe have done, but sometimes, it's just ugly.

**68 Stepside** · 08-12-2002, 08:13 PM

I can deal with everything but the seat...it's gotta go...

Keep an open mind guys.....I know of a board member that has a dash like that. I have the same question as dubie, would you have said that's fugly to the board member? It's doubtful. Sure, it may not be what you like, but regardless, someone put blood, sweat, and tears into it.

Plain and simple.

TJ

DennyB · 08-12-2002, 08:26 PM

That kind of wood was big with teenagers in the 70s.
many a 64 chevy van had that touch

Longhorn Man · 08-12-2002, 08:30 PM

Well TJ..I did tell crews that his old 4 door was fugly...but I felt bad when I discovered it was a member's rig.

**68 Stepside** · 08-12-2002, 08:36 PM

I believe I remember that...LOL

And by the way Andall, (you're gonna hate me), it's interiOr,
