Nice truck Rob!!! I hope your boy loves it!!

Old Yeller 1970 · 12-26-2005, 01:54 PM

My congratulations to Dustin. That's a fine looking truck.

I do have one slightly off topic question. I need a new set of mirrors. Are those on the truck stock or aftermarket?

**Canadian694x4** · 12-26-2005, 09:02 PM

Great Googly Moogly!!! Congrats Dustin! That's a Sweet Present!

*FUNMUDDER* · 12-26-2005, 10:00 PM

What are the specs on it?

BLAZERMAN · 12-27-2005, 01:28 AM

Thanks for all the compliments, as far as any adoptions I have a hard time sharing my toys the way it is, I was almost hoping he woudnt like it so I could keep it for myself.

This truck had a big block, 4" lift and 35" tires till about 2 years ago and the owner decided to down size a little. The truck now has a 2" lift 33" baja tires, 350 GM crate motor, 4 speed and 3.73 gears.
It has drum front brakes and the wheel cylinders are leaking so its time to go to disc brakes.

The truck has had the same owner for the past 10 years, he just wanted something newer for a change, even with the changes I 've made to it I have less than 3 grand in it so I dont think I got hurt too bad.

Hey thats a sweet truck man.
I got my truck last year at christmas too. And im 16 to. Not many Teenagers have sweet old trucks like these i bet. Congradulations on the sweet truck there man.

phantom dually · 12-27-2005, 02:26 AM

My parents could not afford to buy me a snickers bar!! Nice Truck!

3quartertime · 12-27-2005, 03:01 AM

That's waaay cool,,,

The list of things my old man has given me over that last 40 or so years are both generous and long, but that's a really nice one.

You sir are a great dad!!! Drive with pride Dustin.

My oldest is 12 and I hope I'll be financially able to do something like that for her.

BTW,,, Was it a surprise or did he know you were building one for him?

1969 C/K CST · 12-27-2005, 10:52 AM

Nice truck. Drive safe and enjoy.

**Yukon Jack** · 12-27-2005, 11:29 AM

What a beauty! I hope he enjoys it.

Aquivarious · 12-28-2005, 02:08 PM

Wow... Congrats Dustin... hey, since thats my name, u think ill get one just like it? Hehe.

Checked out in my driveway (motorpool) on Christmas (in Iraq) and all i had was some busted up Hummvees... no one wants that! And not to mention the sand...

mocwon · 12-28-2005, 02:37 PM

Congrats to Dustin on a great looking truck.

He's got that 70's tie-dye thing going that is period correct for that year of truck too...

I bet the tie-dye will also be back one of these days. Everthing seems to come back.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 12-28-2005, 07:22 PM

Very nice score... Congrats...

Robert1970C20rstbukt · 12-28-2005, 07:52 PM

Awesome truck! Man I wish my truck was 4 wheel drive..........oh well.

ZOOMY · 12-28-2005, 09:18 PM

Very nice truck. Of course for safety sake you need to get some rear fenders with marker lights and sell the '67 ones to me.............Z

I dont know how he got into wearing tie-die shirts but its about all he wears, he finds them on Ebay.
His taste in music is different than most kids his age, his favorites are The Doors, Stones, Lynerd Skynerd, Conway Twitty, Meryl Haggerd and David Allen Coe.

zoomy, Thats one of the first things I noticed, I think I'll keep em, they kinda match the truck.

*FUNMUDDER* · 12-29-2005, 12:57 AM

Lynyrd Skynyrd buddy. Remember that.

Is he mechanically inclined? (does he like tinkering with cars and trucks?)

Iron-Butt · 12-29-2005, 01:08 AM

I guess I was bad, great truck, keep the rubber side down.
