And now for something really different - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

*lakeroadster* · 09-04-2011, 06:51 PM

Since I have a '65 C10 I usually hang over at that forum. But I saw the truck below at a car show in Windsor Colorado on Sunday and thought ya'll would get as big a kick out of it as I did.

Gotta love it when ppl get drunk and come up with bright ideas

**special-K** · 09-04-2011, 07:01 PM

That's a Cherd F10,right?

bigguy69 · 09-04-2011, 07:09 PM

I will say that it is different.

Looks like a 56 F100 front end.

I agree it's differant alright!
That's just not right.

recess the grille and change the dash back to stock and I think it would look cool.

I was looking at that grill and was thinking the same thing. Might be ok recessed.

If you put a Chevrolet engine in a Toyota do you get a TOYOLET?

FRENCHBLUE72 · 09-05-2011, 09:29 AM

Truck looks pretty good except that grill and I love 56 fords..

Indyuke · 09-05-2011, 11:28 AM

The steering wheel looks really out of place compared to the rest of the shiny shiny truck.

PanelDeland · 09-05-2011, 01:11 PM

Looks like it's blowing a "raspberry"

The blue one ..... all I can say is "That just ain't right"

big_al_71 · 09-05-2011, 01:15 PM

Good idea but I would had done something different with the grill.

Bad place to put the antenna and that steering wheel really sticks out.

VA72C10 · 09-05-2011, 02:09 PM

Overall looks like a nice truck and would be even nicer if the grille was recessed as mentioned and a couple other details....

My guess is he wanted to get into chevy only AND ford only shows

and on the blue truck..............................................................well...momma said if you can't say nothin nice...

eightbanger · 09-05-2011, 02:22 PM

I'm always amazed at the amount of work some people are willing to put into realizing their nightmare...I mean dream.

Rob H. · 09-05-2011, 02:30 PM

I'm guessing since the blue truck has the Eldorado wheels on the front too, that it's on its chassis, but sure don't make it right! That is about a butt ugly as I've ever seen! On the first truck, well I love 67-72 Chevy trucks and I love mid 50's Ford trucks, seperately!

Actually it's called and Chevota and I have seen a few in my times including 1 from south fl in the late 90's that on 39.5's with a built 327 would run 12.9 in the 1/4
