Re: C60 nose job on a square body?

I've been looking hard at these old military pull trucks...see what I mean about the fenders blending with the low bumper and step? (this one doesn't)

You can set my truck on fire and roll it down a hill,
and I still wouldn't trade it for a Coupe de Ville.

Re: C60 nose job on a square body?

Years ago I had a 58 retired grain truck, 1.5 ton GMC. While this one here is advertised as a 2-ton, back then the style was without fender flares but filled in the space appropriately. The step was located inside the door.



Just another example to think about along body lines. I like your ideas but you are correct in thinking a regular light duty cab probably won't look proportionate to what you're considering.

Good Luck!
Mark

My thoughts exactly. Gotta have the big rig horns to make that soccer mom on the cell phone crap her pants.

My neighbors have a big late model International 4x4 truck with a service bed for a shop truck...I've got to out do them. I've been challenged to a truck tug of war.
