Re: What Would You Build?

I voted big motor, smoking tires.

My dream truck would probably be a 67' C10 S/B Fleetside, probably red or dark metallic blue, tubbed/narrowed rear for huge rubber and Duramax/Allison powered... Pretty much what the white PPE truck is based on. Looks fairly stock on the outside, but mean as heck when you stomp on it!!

Re: What Would You Build?

I wanted to vote #3, #4, & #5 but could'nt. Kind of like the black truck, but with fabbed Hi 9's, linked suspension W/ coilovers, 502, 4l80E, ect. I would like to be able to pull into any show and look respectable, but be able to take it hunting, or hit some dunes with it. When I finish mine, it will slooowlly metamorphasize into what I described. Right now I just want to drive it!

It would take the right truck to do the all out restoration on - the proverbial unicorn.

Right now I'm doing the resto mod thing and a survivoration: two different trucks.

Dukkie, I like the way you think.

Re: What Would You Build?

My dream is ALMOST finished - the finished wood was picked up today and the bed will be assembled tomorrow. ( the last BIG thing to do ) Some "little stuff" and it will finally be HOME. I had it built exactly the way I would have back in 1970 . . . and just a few more things added to make it C O O L !!!

Re: What Would You Build?

I voted all original. All the other trucks look good and are cool, but some of those things are fads that come and go, others are meant more for the track than daily driver, etc. An original will always be wow'ed over by most anyone.

So True, Take any car show or auction, While the custom is cool to the eye of the creator many are turned away as they would have done XX and YY different but the original is the pinacle loved by all. hell were all here on 67-72 chevytrucks .com because everyone here loves the original right?
