So I cut my dash......and........ - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Ended up with this

Kidding, I noticed this truck out on a vacant lot in front of our local recycling place. I don't know anything about it's history but thought I'd share. Reminds me of one of those Shriner's club clown cars......

What the hell..

RACINJASON22 · 03-24-2007, 09:33 AM

Just cut the inner fenders out and drop an I6 in it.

Neat pic.RJ22

I'll bet it cornes real good.

Sorry, I'll be the first to say it's your truck, do with it as you please, but this just proves that some people shouldn't have access to tools. That's just retarded.

That's totaly screwed up! What a waist.

PanelDeland · 03-24-2007, 11:01 AM

I would almost bet that that truck was once the sign for an auto shop or wrecking yard.We've all seen them on top of poles and shops.Usually it's something the owner has since determined he regrets.I once saw a 66 Chevelle done like that.And an Isetta.

redneckgirl · 03-24-2007, 11:27 AM

hmmmm....it would ROCK as a flower bed..... LOL

Joe67 · 03-24-2007, 11:31 AM

Wild

I was going to guess a sign or advertisment as well.

On that - did they make beds longer than 8' on the pre 1967 trucks?

How about "Skinny's Truck Repair"?

cfoust3 · 03-24-2007, 05:26 PM

Longbed, thats in Muncie isn't it? I have drove past that a million times and wanted to take some pics of it for the board, guess you beat me to it. lol.

Pl4yboy · 03-24-2007, 05:53 PM

Saw it when I lived in Wabash. Its a shame people do that stuff. Someone over here cut an old cop car like that for a restraunt though. I wasn't upset about the cop car

Yup, I've been driving by it a million times too - only this time I had my digie-cam. It's just a goofy planter now I guess. I have no idea how long it's been there but google maps has a date on their satellite of 92.

scrapmetalart · 03-24-2007, 09:43 PM

I love that thing...Maybe I'll cut up my 62????

Agreed

panteratron · 03-25-2007, 09:34 AM

I think they were going for arrow dynamics,or they just haul motorcycles.

**special-K** · 03-25-2007, 10:08 AM

It`s a Bonneville push truck.Some folks are just narrow-minded and it shows in what they do.I`d like to get the skinny on who did this.
