Is that the guy with the funny lip??

**lolife99** · 08-20-2008, 10:52 PM

Same truck on the cover.

killer71 · 08-20-2008, 10:57 PM

i think it needs the side markers ehh?

big_al_71 · 08-20-2008, 11:02 PM

truck is awesome!!!!
Cant wait to finish mine!!!

retselgerg · 08-20-2008, 11:29 PM

i think i would like the side markers on it.....but an awesome truck..and the 67-72 c/10 is on its way to icon status

fatboys69 · 08-21-2008, 08:18 AM

ShowSS12,
That be him " with the funny lip". Story tells that he was in a real bad car wreck with one of Boyd's sons @ Bonneville and had to have surgery and has plates in his face.

**STP67-72** · 08-21-2008, 08:35 AM

I agree with Killer 71. With all the chrome, i would have left the side markers. I would like to see it with rear sport bumper also. NICE truck.

GKsport67 · 08-21-2008, 10:34 AM

I can't wait til our trucks get to ICON STATUS!!!!

ChevLoRay · 08-21-2008, 12:14 PM

They aren't there, yet???

*project 67 sub* · 08-21-2008, 02:25 PM

1sik72 is in the new version of street trucks with his burb

67ChevyRedneck · 08-21-2008, 02:32 PM

He doesn't get much camera time, but if you watch overhaulin' you can usually spot him in the background or at the end when they're thanking everybody.

Very nice ride.

dude, I would LOVE to have Truck Builder magazine but I have never seen it in a store and I have looked hard for over a year. Would love to flip thru it sometime.

I think CCT & CT are both great mags simply because you can find them at practically every drug store, grocery store and Wal Mart on the face of the earth.
