I'm digging this monster. I'm also going to paint a notice like that under the hood of my truck!

Once, one of my younger brothers was fueling up his '62 Chevy long bed fleet side (with a supercharged 383) and some gal at another pump was giving him grief about how her little econobox (I think that it was a Prius, actually) got so much better mileage. He thanked her kindly for saving more fuel for him! Our family doesn't guilt trip easily.

Love this truck.
Especially with the hood back on.

Thanks for the build pics. I like that truck! The tunnel is gone, but I hope the prius sticker is still there!

superchevy · 01-01-2021, 01:39 PM

oh yeah, it's still there...I painted it on...gets chuckles when I pop the hood on cruise nights
