I don't see a thing wrong with it. It took lots of money and time to build that truck. I love the interior and under the hood! Have fun with it.

**mac808** · 05-03-2011, 08:24 PM

Wow! Nice find HSF!

Looks like its DONE. A/C, Interior bits done, upholstery looks sano, paint looks immaculate. There's nothing left to do with this truck but to drive it!

I'm afraid to ask how much he's asking for it, though...

Whatever the price is, though, it all comes down to if its worth it to YOU.

Good luck with your decision and hope it works out for ya!

looks good, except those rims, not a big fan of those and the yellow letters in the tailgate and the bed covers gotta go

I agree on the wheels and I don't like the square tank underneath... Needs a diff style.

Did they notch the bumper for the tailpipes? I like the truck, they've done a lot to it. Like others have stated, the wheels don't seem to fit the truck but overall, it's a VERY nice truck. It's hard to see the little (which can end up being big) stuff in pictures. Have you laid eyes on it?

mdaven@aol.com · 05-03-2011, 08:33 PM

The body work under the driver door looks a little wavy - either a bad bondo job or a poor patch job. No pictures of the passenger's side, might be hiding some more questionable bodywork??? If the bodywork is poor in these areas, what is it like in the hidden areas??? Otherwise, a lot of work can be seen.

have not seen it in person. However, my brother is on his way to look it over. The guy selling it told me every little flaw in the truck.. Ones that didnt even really matter. good thing is the list is short. The frame and everything under the truck except A-Arms is painted the same color as the body. I would have to trade the wheels....

**Hart_Rod** · 05-03-2011, 09:07 PM

Looks nice. Needs lowered some more and some new wheels,

HavinSomeFun · 05-03-2011, 09:33 PM

i saw a few things that I don't care for, but that's all personal taste.
I do suspect, that if you are 6 ft tall or more, you may have problems with the seats. The seat back is thicker than stock seats, and that places you closer to the wheel and pedals.
Otherwise, it does look pretty nice.

Dads69C10 · 05-03-2011, 10:22 PM

I like the color! looks like an awesome truck. Personally i would change the wheels and maybe the seats.

Well, I can't see anything wrong with it, Congrats! Just Do It!

**N2TRUX** · 05-03-2011, 10:31 PM

Nice truck for sure. I'm not a fan of bedcovers on classic trucks, but it can be removed. The wheels don't do anything for me, but a good afternoon with a Powerball and they would look a LOT better.

Beyond that, its nit picking things so I won't go any further. Looks like its built well.

, I'm sure you'll figure it out.

TacBlade · 05-03-2011, 10:40 PM

That is a Great looking truck. Everyone has their own style! I like the wheels and tires and the color of the outside and the interior are a great match. Have fun with it. I will be receiving my truck at noon tomorrow and is fixed up about as much as this one is.

MAK191 · 05-03-2011, 11:08 PM

Nice truck no doubt about it.

Only thing I noticed was the cab paint looks a little darker than the driver's door. The difference is more noticeable at the top of the door. Could be the lighting or my computer screen.

MAK191 · 05-03-2011, 11:11 PM

one more thing.

The mirrors don't look right. I think they are mounted too far forward.
