Re: why?
$20,000 worth of receipts don't always mean you got the best.
Not exactly what I would have done (okay, not even close), but to each his own. I like the color. I really do. Funny, the description even makes sure you know it has functional wipers. Short version..... Coming at you, you get a knot in your stomach...anticipating a killer truck... After it passes, that knot expells itself onto the parkinglot in a violent spew of last night's pasta salad.

Re: why?
I think they were trying to achieve that "I'm a dumbass" look.

Re: why?
I LOVE it to each his own Im sure every one can set at a computer and gripe about something some one else did. The thing is there is there is no other truck out there that looks like his he had a vision and he built it. His vision is not the same as every one else. If every ones vision where the same we would all drive ford

Re: why?
And BTW, imagine what the bid would be on a unmolested truck in the same condition. I wonder if he'll throw the 65 first place trophies

Re: why?
While I can appreciate all the effort that went into making it what "is", I don't find it aesthetically pleasing. (How's that for PC

Re: why?
Well, there is a lot to look at and it certainly makes me smile. Of course, I think that a chrome air cleaner is "custom".

Re: why?
I'm sorry guys, but the question was "Does anybody like this?" and if I am going to answer that question truthfully, not me. Sorry, call the Politically Correct police if you must, but that truck is not pretty. I fully envision Cheech and Chong pimpin' this through downtown L.A. with about 50 lbs. of "Blond Lebanese Hash" between the seats.

Re: why?
My old dad told me "ifn you dont have nothin good to say, dont say nothin at all".....but I never did listen! You guys are a bunch of critics......if it aint stock, you gotta slam it. Now I will say for sure that the chop was a little short for my taste, but you need to respect the work that went into that

Re: why?
I just threw up a little in my mouth.
![]() There's a purple '71 that has been chopped that runs around in this area. What I don't get about it is with all the work they put into it to modify the cab they painted over all the firewall, sill and door rust. Looks decent from 50 feet until you start to see all the bondo and rust bubbles. To each their own I guess. |
