Pretty nice if you ask me

IMO, the owner ran the red/white split into the ground. Two-tone yes, but that thing is almost striped. I could do without the Heartbeat on the fenders(inner and outer).

Mmmmmmmmm, Candy Cane, now I'm hungry

Would be nice if it was a short step. I love the short stepper with the roof cut off.

Not something I care for at all.

72armyswbtruck · 03-24-2006, 09:43 PM

Wow, I thought that more people would like the convertable

thekidd · 03-24-2006, 11:51 PM

Didn't GM build something similar to this? Oh yeah I remember those were called blazers/jimmys right?

onetoncrewcab · 03-25-2006, 11:14 AM

I think they did an amazing job in the conversion. I like the fact that they built it so that the hardtop can still be put back on and the truck body looks stock.

OTOH, I don't care for the paint job. A more traditional red/white would have been better. Like other people have said, it looks like a candy cane.

i like how they covered the inside of the truck (no metal showin)
other than that i dont much care for it , to me its a waste of a good truck ,and that paint job is makin me want a candy cane to eat

chevy_fatman · 03-25-2006, 02:11 PM

I like convertibles, that's why I got me a blazer

That vinyl covering where they made the cuts does look tacky IMO, if it had been done some other way it would look better, different people, different strokes I guess.

**special-K** · 03-26-2006, 09:38 AM

Overdone on the red`n`white thing.Somehow,there will always be those who go overboard on the red`n`white.I think it`s a candy cane fetish.Longbed and visor on topof the red`n`whiteness,just plain gay.Cool idea,not the way I`d go about it,that`s fer shur.

**Palf70Step** · 03-26-2006, 11:49 AM

The conversion was very nicely done. paint scheme may not be my style exactly, but still is nicely done....The visor

shifty · 03-26-2006, 06:40 PM

looks kinda like some kinda so cal lowrider style cruiser to me. not sure i like it.

1971ChevyTruck · 03-26-2006, 07:17 PM

I know international made one of these stock...I'm not too impressed with the way he did the two tone on this one. Would look better as a short step. Here is a pic of a stock International pickup convertible.
