Does anybody know who owns this months cover truck and if he is a board member? I would like to get some more info on this truck if possible. Thanks!

I saw that truck on the magazine rack a couple weeks ago, It's absolutely beautiful! That truck single-handedly changed my mind on what direction I want to go with my restoration. I thought I was going with a 67-68 front end and shave everything, now I think I'm gonna go with the stock 71-72 look with biggies and bags. The color and wheels are perfect too, I can't quit drooling over that truck.

C'mon guys post pics. That truck is sweeeeet...

if orange isn't your color, here are a few quick photo-chops...

In the minority here but it looked better before (except for the white roof)...to each his (or her) own

I am with you too actually, sort of. I like it either way. Since it has air bags he could throw on a stock set of rims and raise it up to stock height and it would look just as clean.

DStewart · 08-24-2004, 01:16 PM

I love the stock look with big wheels and bags. Or steelies and white walls and bags

406_SBC · 08-24-2004, 07:31 PM

Hell ya, of course, but I'd like it better if it had been left alone

It would be boring if we all had the same tastes, but you have to admit almost every truck featured in the mags is really lowered and running on 18's or bigger, not my thing, that's all.

gonebad2 · 08-25-2004, 10:57 PM

That '71 has an awesome stance. I'm baggin my next project for sure.

Hutch · 08-25-2004, 11:50 PM

Here is a link to another nicely modified truck.
The price is high but if I built it I would probably ask the same.

I lean more to the original looks myself

406_SBC · 08-25-2004, 11:57 PM
