HERE'S MINE, THE BOY ON THE HOOD IS MY GRANDSON AND LOOK WHO I MET AT THE MEET!!!

**Canadian694x4** · 06-19-2004, 08:21 PM

Wow that's impressive...Did you do the burb/avalanche conversion? I dig it!

bigdog69 · 06-19-2004, 09:21 PM

Originally bought truck in Jan of 99 for $200.00, been driving it ever since, got maybe $500.00 total in it over that time, including tires, battery, and used radiator.

Was a Suburban, but the guy I got it from is the one who cut it up and put on the right fender and hood, I did the red doors and the light bar.

I also have a 70 1/2 ton SWB cab and chassis (decoded the serial#) and also a 69 3/4 ton LWB cab and chassis. In process of working on the 70, going to put an all steel flatbed on it with stacks (I am a trucker ). The 69 I have other plans for, but that is another story.

Could this be the Avalanche prototype???

Warbones · 06-19-2004, 09:25 PM

All I can say is, wow! That's really unusual looking.

72 CustomCamper · 06-19-2004, 11:43 PM

Here's mine. the pick up runs, just needs valve springs. The blazer met with a sawz-all...

Damn, that's Hulk Hogan!

Warbones · 06-20-2004, 02:18 AM

So, just out of curiosity! How tall would you say Hulk Hogan is?
Better yet, how tall are you?

bigdog69 · 06-20-2004, 10:25 AM

I'M 6' TALL, SO HULK IS LIKE 6' 3", BUT LOOK AT THOSE HANDS! I HAVE TROUBLE FINDING GLOVES BECAUSE MY HANDS ARE SO LARGE AND HIS SWALLOWED MINE

super72 · 06-20-2004, 12:00 PM

They are different

Baradium · 06-20-2004, 01:21 PM

Look, someone wanted a wagonmaster.

That'd really be a wagonmaster conversion, done before the avalanche even came out IIRC on the dates.

Wagonmaster came out from International in 1973. Internationals travelall (suburban was a copy of it) cut off like that behind the second row doors with the back of a pickup cab there (so the bulkhead looks like it's supposed to be there). Designed with hauling goose neck and fifth wheel trailers as one of the ideas. Neat trucks actually...

As far as ugly trucks... I might be picking up an IH in two weeks that will be able to enter the running. If I heard the description correctly, about every body panel is a different color...

Johnny Outdoors · 06-20-2004, 11:49 PM

yaaa hoooo!!!!

Ol` Blue - 307, 3:73 Posi, 4 speed on the floor, now has 33" BFG All terrain t/a`s... like the sig says, big & ugly, just like her owner

bigdog69 · 06-27-2004, 05:59 PM

Hey guys, thanx for the input. Just got home from a week in the hospital, (unexpected). By the way IH Travelall was copy of suburban which started production in 1928.

eagleuh1 · 12-20-2010, 08:51 AM

Cool pic of you and the Hulk. But why don't you open your driver door and let that red squirrel go thats hanging by his tail.

Shyguy · 12-20-2010, 10:38 AM

And I thought mine was ugly, lol. This picture was taken just after we took probably 6 different trucks and made this one.

It looks a little different now since the newer bed has been removed.

63chevyll · 12-20-2010, 10:53 AM

oldblue1968chevy · 12-20-2010, 11:28 AM

I once met and shook hands with Ray Nitschke, former defensive lineman with the Green Bay Packers back in the 60s. I don't claim to have big hands, but when we shook hands all you could see was my thumb sticking out.

brad_man_72 · 12-20-2010, 02:26 PM

you posted on the wrong website. You will get alot more responses on an all ford truck website.
