If there was such an award this would have to take 1st place.

ugh! i'd still drive it though

, whichonce again proves that theres not a 67-72 that i wouldnt drive

wbmorris87 · 10-08-2002, 10:32 PM

Yep, I'ld drive it too.

All that effort, wasted IMO.

can you imagine trying to steer that thing? These trucks already take several rotations of the wheel to turn on city streets. That thing would wear my arms out!

71402BB · 10-08-2002, 10:37 PM

WOW, thats umm ahh different...... well someone has some talent I will say that much!

>X< · 10-08-2002, 10:42 PM

someone needs to photo-chop-drop-shave it, or maybe make it a fleetside. I wonder how strong the frame is in th middle, i would imagine that it would have a ton or reinforcement though.

I think the rear fenders need tear drops in between the tires looks lkea 73-87 rear fender honestly

Benrs86 · 10-08-2002, 11:03 PM

man, i gotta show my dad this, he was wanting a twin screw rear set up for his 66/89 dodge crew cab, i dont think he will go triple, or 38 feet

that is huuuugeee. most likely only the front two rear wheels are drive wheels? thats ugly, but i sorta like it, in a weird way

I saw this truck in person a few years ago. It was at the Springfield, Ohio CARS AND PARTS swapmeet. It looks tons better in person.
The pic you posted does not at all do this truck justice.
Oh yea, I like it.

That suburban is owned by Mark Locker, "Locker's Body Shop" in Hamilton,Ohio just down the street from me!
He uses it to haul his 1/4 milers around.

But a hot tub in the back and the *****es be runnin to go for a ride! That thing looks like a Kid Rock mobile to me! To each their own.

Just think how much it would cost to bag that and put 20's on it!!

Beast388 · 10-09-2002, 03:29 PM

I can't believe someone ruined a Suburban like that.......

That thing can't be 38ft long. A stock Suburban is 215.5" or about 18ft from bumper to bumper. That isn't a 20ft addition to the rear.
