This thread came to mind when EdB and I saw this at the Crusing the Coas Swapmeet yesterday.

They did a lot of work on this and and it looked like really good work. I don't know if it ismy cup of tea or not, but I do like anything that someone does up well. The craftsmanship seemed really good.

Thats one sweet truck it must of been a b!ch to get the newer grill and all the body lines to match up

**68 Stepside** · 10-10-2003, 08:30 PM

Wow, that's ugly IMO, but I sure respect the craftsmanship.

1971 Cheyenne · 10-10-2003, 08:51 PM

THATS SO COOL! I can't imagine the work put into it though.

krue · 10-10-2003, 09:37 PM

That looks ok stylewise, but great workmanship!

boraxman · 10-10-2003, 10:00 PM

I'd drive it.

griesel72 · 10-10-2003, 10:28 PM

Wow, gotta respect the guys determination to stick to that until it was done.

To me, It's just plain "Butt Ugly", but I gotta respect the amount of craftmanship and work that went into it. It reminds me of that car that Johnny Cash built. "One piece at a time." ( that's a song for those of you who don't know what I'm talking about )

Lobo'74 · 10-11-2003, 10:10 AM

Great job on it from the pictures.
Kinda like the style. Modern/retro?

casey · 10-11-2003, 11:13 AM

thumbs up for beening so creative, and workmanship too, but I would of left the roof on.

**FRENCHBLUE72** · 10-11-2003, 11:16 AM

Iron-Butt · 10-11-2003, 11:37 AM

*dtlilly* · 10-11-2003, 12:58 PM

I liked it at first, then it started to get kinda weird!

mooneyes · 10-11-2003, 04:34 PM

....i dont understand if you like the looks of old trucks...drive an old truck...if you want a new one buy a new one...dont mix them up...if your going to do that start with something ugly...a pacer comes to mind...LOL...

Okay, after seeing it in person, the craftsmanship is about par with the styling. The grill sticks out 1/4 -1/2 at the top (not blended into the hood line at all). The running board is covered with cheesy cheap stainless that looks like it is glued down. For $26k it should look a heck of a lot better than it does. The hood is rubbing on the cowl, and screw heads are showing on the grill.
Interior looked good tho.
