Bubba...Redneck Genuis?!?

Well here is the followup to the thread I had earlier in the week.

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s....php3?t=108796

This is the truck where Bubba used a full second frame to lift his C10. I have no idea whether this is good or not, I just thought it very very different. Here are the pictures I was able to get of his work before the clouds opened up on me.

FYI, that's not a C10, its a K10. if the frames were more securely attached together MAYBE this idea wouldnt be so suicidal. as it sits, Bubba should ask his Uncle Daddy to help him blow it up, its an accident waiting to happen.

Damn, that thing looks like it came out of that monster garage show. I'd still own it though. That little piece of redneck in me is wanting it for my own.

you need to seek serious help. suicidal thoughts ARE NOT healthy. i've got a little bit of redneck in me, a little fabricator (i said a little), and a whole lot of gearhead. i wouldnt ever dream of even giving such a monstrosity a second look. somewhere there's a big scrap pile that's missing about 3 tons of steel.

I like the way the exhaust comes out between the frames. That looks about as safe as teh truck posted a couple months ago with the lift frames under it.

I think the twin to that truck is here in my town. It has the stacked frames but on his he just used the front and rear portion of the frames and did away with the middle of the frame. It was pimered black and had some 31 inch tires. TALK ABOUT UGLY

What a smoldering piece of sh|t!! The attention to detail is absolutely incredible , not to mention the dozens of built-in safety features. Yeah, let's just paint everything a nauseating shade of blue...even the mud on the inner fenders!! People that build things like that should be sterilized, to halt the chances of them reproducing.

looks like a wreck waiting to happen and the steering-makes me wonder what the guy was smoking when he decided to do this.
