What were they thinking??

Just doesnt look right.

caminokid · 02-16-2008, 03:15 AM

If someone can fix that I would appreciate it

caminokid · 02-16-2008, 03:30 AM

Fixed...sorry guys

Orange · 02-16-2008, 03:31 AM

One of a kind, HOPEFULLY!

And he has the Caddy tail lights to boot.

Bet it kicks around in the butt end easy too.

Thanks Caminokid for posting those pics. I often wondered what a LWB would look like with the front and rear overhangs being equal......gotta say it looks like crap! I think I'll stick to the standard LWB-SWB conversion and leave the experimental stuff to those with less pride than I.

caminokid · 02-16-2008, 03:57 AM

I thought it was my eyes messing with me when I seen it. I know I need glasses!

greasy68 · 02-16-2008, 03:58 AM

Oh that looks rough. Not my cup of tea but if the guy that did it is happy then so be it. To each his own. Looks like it has had some work done to it.

Looks Like A Tow Truck With The Wheels All The Way Back Like That

Longhorn Man · 02-16-2008, 04:21 AM

there was a lady on e-bay a couple years ago selling one, and was very insistant (argumentitive) that it was original.
I agree, it looks kinda crappy

caminokid · 02-16-2008, 07:03 AM

This is why some people shouldnt be allowed to have a sawzall

can you say " towmater" ( it's a love it or hate it kind of truck) me not a chance that i would have one.

**john** · 02-16-2008, 07:59 AM

I dont know where the pic came from, but there is one in my town just like it. Peep mirrors caddy lights and front and rear pans.

tcb-1 · 02-16-2008, 07:59 AM

okay I'll play.....

is it a longhorn cut down??? in that case, she'd be called a shorthorn??

jeffspower · 02-16-2008, 08:01 AM

Heck, to me it looks better than some of the newer 4dr trucks with the rear tire rubbing the back of the cab.

If it was a 3/4 or one ton, it would be an excellent trailer puller

67_C-30 · 02-16-2008, 09:02 AM

The only thing I would consider doing that to is a wrecker with a pickup box. It would be very functional and the boom/and or wheel lift would detract away from the butt-uglyness of it!

71 super · 02-16-2008, 09:32 AM

Several years ago,at least 10 maybe 15, there was a truck like that painted white with all of the stripes (heartbeat etc.) of the era. Supposedly it was cheyenne super that someone famous- don't remember who- chopped up and basically destroyed, however it did make the pages of truckin' as a feature truck. Ugly then, ugly now what is going on in the minds of some people? Reminds me of a guy who tryed to get a job in my dad's shop, called himself the "krusier kustomizer" thought he could chop stuff up and put it back together with bondo, but the goof sure could spray paint- go figure.

truckguy_69 · 02-16-2008, 09:41 AM

I can only think of onething that can discribe this and that is

Nope, not a longhorn, just a plain 'ole LWB with the ass end chopped off.

I know, corny. lay off me. its been a rough day.

Longhorn Man · 02-16-2008, 10:51 AM

lol!
If it's quick or not... it still looks craptastic.

Weezer67 · 02-16-2008, 11:26 AM

I think it is a special edition Chayenne with a Corvette motor option....

It is an abortion. It is destroying a perfectly good truck, and an offense to the eyes. It makes me throw up in my mouth. Can you tell I'm not crazy about it? Why couldn't they do that to a F%$#rd??

rwgregory · 02-16-2008, 03:52 PM

Let's just call it a "half assed" custom and leave it at that...

I do that all the time to those blue oval things....just not put back together. Just hauled off to the scrap yard!

Orange · 02-16-2008, 08:11 PM

Come on now guys - if the guy is a member on here - you guys are certainly being harsh to him.

I know that 99% of us don't like it, but no need to be using some of the strong language that some are.
