He's probably selling it because he is tired of getting laughed at.

I never thought about gold spoke wheeels...

sneakysnake · 12-07-2004, 02:57 PM

Looks like someone kicked it in the a$$

beaterC10 · 12-07-2004, 03:02 PM

Looks like the old F*** trucks with the extended wheel base.

*Randy70C-10* · 12-07-2004, 03:48 PM

That looks ridiculous.

Too bad, it's such a clean and straight truck too.

c10-377 · 12-07-2004, 05:17 PM

I kinda feel sorry for the having to drive that, he messed up a beautiful truck.

c10-377 · 12-07-2004, 05:18 PM

I feel sorry for the guy, not me. I need to learn how to type.

saulgoode · 12-07-2004, 06:11 PM

Why the heck would anybody do that, it looks like a turd.

chevjayfsd · 12-07-2004, 06:40 PM

Guys 71 · 12-07-2004, 08:02 PM

Wow!

arkracing · 12-07-2004, 08:04 PM

and the best part about it is he thinks it is an 8/9 out of 10???!!!!!!! and then whips out the NADA numbers....if your close to low retail it's yours...hahaha I don't think so

People just don't get it do they?

My thoughts exactly!!!!!

dregs454 · 12-07-2004, 09:19 PM

wow, that looks terrible, I bet he just took a sawzall and cut body, frame, and everything the whole way through...

**special-K** · 12-07-2004, 09:49 PM

Musta been a tow truck for mini-cars.

silvertonguedevil · 12-07-2004, 11:48 PM

The sad part is....that it was still probably a lot of work. It just needs to be crushed at this point.

Peregrine · 12-07-2004, 11:54 PM

if you kinda unfocus you're eyes.......

Gary · 12-08-2004, 12:34 AM

I dunno maybe it's the margaritas talking but ... I almost like it, if you tubbed the rear, moulded in the tailgate so it was no longer usable and put on a fiberglass cover and then used it to race maybe (street or strip I suppose) it could be done up to look kinda kickass, I dunno personally I don't think I'd do it but it could clean up into an interesting looking "oddball".

stickshift_or_walk · 12-08-2004, 12:35 AM

The only excuse I can think of for that surgery is an extreme case of rock-crawling 4x4 that wants to improve departure angle. But then, you probably wouldn't use a long wheelbase rig.

But dropped, with spokes? One word. Yuck.

68w/sbc406 · 12-08-2004, 12:59 AM

???WTF???

is the circus coming to town? i agree with above, he is selling it cause he is tired of owning an ugly truck

72 CustomCamper · 12-08-2004, 03:02 AM

That's just wrong...

Chuck

T_Dilley · 12-08-2004, 05:31 AM

That may be one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen.

**special-K** · 12-08-2004, 07:49 AM

Be kind to the handicapped.It`s obviously an amputee survivor of some catasrtophic nightmare,ie:tree fell across tail-end,didn`t quite beat the train,cancer of the 1/4 panel,birth defect,cruel college prank...No,seriously,I would have just added a few feet onto the garage if it didn`t fit.

chevyal71 · 12-08-2004, 05:45 PM

WOW imagine that no bids!!!
