I would have donkey punched him right in the cahones....but that's just me

DZL1 · 07-13-2010, 07:24 AM

You cant please all of the people all of the time. That a*#hole obviously was never taught that if you have nothing nice to say, then dont say nothing at all.

BTW, your truck is very nice.

I dont think you heard him he said you are making GMC look badass!

ehuth1 · 07-13-2010, 11:46 AM

Laught at him and say uhhhhh "What are you driving?"..

Sweet looking truck dude!

71GMC71 · 07-13-2010, 11:53 AM

Should I lower my truck a little more?

And also, What color should I re paint it? The color on it now, is marina blue or something like that.

1LoC10 · 07-13-2010, 01:35 PM

I am sad to say- I agree with the Donkey... That truck leaves alot to be desired. I'll tell ya what, I will take that POS off your hands. It will cost you though, send me two hundred bucks for my trouble and I will come get it. You will never have to worry about being teased ever again...

You don't have to thank me... Just try'n to help a brother out.

tantrumpipeline · 07-13-2010, 03:28 PM

Needs nothing more than a wet sand and re clear coat, not a fan of the wheels at first look, but they grow on you and it's better than another swb with torque thrust II's, I like the classic look of them but being personalized is alot cooler to me

alittle more drop wouldn't hurt.

The truck as is looks good.

but....

I think a upgrade you should think about is......

go to wal-mart. get a childs t-ball bat. and paint it to match the truck. just make sure you show the guy the upgrade the next time he has something neg to say.

we work on trucks and make them our own because it makes us feel good. forget him bro.

Are you serious?

capev86 · 07-13-2010, 04:09 PM

leaver her be.....and that from someone who hates dropped trucks. the big wheels and that stance looks sporty and low yet still everyday-able. that is exactly my idea what a resto-mod sport truck should look like. to tuck the tires would be to go too far. you just can't please everybody....but you sold me and that is a tough job!

71GMC71.....all I can say is I wish I had your truck.....Looks great...jealousy is a power full tool that if these fools would use to their benifit, they might have a truck as nice as yours.....

howard_m18 · 07-13-2010, 05:17 PM

I have a 67 that I just finished last week & have went to 2 shows so far. I'm happy & that is what matters most! Besides, anyone with that color has to be a good guy, with or without the white hat! FYI, it has a 2" front & 4"back drop. By the way, my truck is painted a 2010 Mustang blue. Howard

Yes- send cash and keys right away!

No really, you have a cool ride. Years ago I cared what people thought about my rides. Not so much anymore...If they dig it than cool, if they don't, than thats ok too. You don't need reassurance when you're rockin the shoes you bought and spit shined with your own hard earned cash.
There will always be a Donkey- just let em eeeaaawww right on by...

ubtripn · 07-15-2010, 09:08 AM

Doesn't matter - what is YOUR opinion? =) It's the only one that counts.

By the way - it's awesome!

**N2TRUX** · 07-15-2010, 09:08 AM

1GMC71- The problem is your young enough to be concerned with rude peoples comments. As you grow a bit older, you learn to ignore idiots and move along.

You do have a nice looking truck.It is not perfect, but you know that and have realistic plans to make it better. Your ego is on the line every time you put your pride and joy on display. I suggest you focus on your plans, and appreciate the kind words that are offered.

C/10 King · 07-15-2010, 10:58 AM

Do you know how many people that would love to say that "they have a 1971 short fleet anything"? I can tell you that there is a whole bunch out there, wishing that they were you. Don't let him get you down, Piss on that guy!

Haha thanks guys! Everyone I appreciate everything you said. Its just that i am 17 and don't have money to do anything to my truck! But I am working on a job so hopefully i can get some money in a can get it painted and what not. But thank you guys. A lot.

carnuts07 · 07-15-2010, 11:16 AM

Your 17 dang I'm 17 and all I have is junk haha

Devins-step · 07-15-2010, 01:34 PM

If you like it, really what difference does it make what some one else might say. I have a 1967 Mustang Convertible (sorry chevy purists.) not much on the car is original including the color. Some folks say I messed it up by not going all original. I didn't re-build it for them I did it for me and my wife. We love it and it is a blast to drive. My son and I are rebuilding a 1970 GMC stepside. It has and will continue to have a Chevy hood, grill and tailgate. We will fix it the way we like, plain and simple. In other words "DON'T SWEAT THE SMALL STUFF"
