Wow?

shifty · 08-04-2005, 10:19 PM

I kinda like it. Looks like one of our trucks with a hunchback and both axles channeled.

68C15 · 08-04-2005, 10:22 PM

They have The Red Green Show in the us. That does seem like something he would do on Handyman's Corner.

speedking · 08-05-2005, 03:37 AM

Red Green-great show!! ( people in my neighborhood are starting to call me Red...)Seriously,though,lighten up a little.If it looks strange or ugly to us,so what?I'm sure the guy who built it still likes it,and that's what it's all about. I think it's pretty cool-I sure wouldn't have the skills(or the nerve) to do that to my truck. Good thing we live where we can kinda go nuts on our rides and build what WE think looks good-I'm told in Hawaii mods like that aren't allowed by law. What fun would THAT be,huh?

The pic actually doesn't look as wierd as I was expecting from the description. When even the owner calls it a little strange, you kinda prepare yourself for the worst.

**special-K** · 08-05-2005, 09:15 AM

I thought,That`s not wierd,I thought about finding one of those phone truck bodies.Then I read,Skylark frame.NOW I SEE!!All this time I`ve looked for shortbed frames and it never occured,"just use a car frame,DOH!"

CHEVYE · 08-05-2005, 12:12 PM

i think it's pretty cool. you could probably make a pretty clean low custom out of it with a lot more fabbing. i wish i had that much time and bordom to do something different with some old junker cars.

Dick Dale · 08-05-2005, 01:57 PM

I bet it rides nice and is pretty comfortable to drive being on a Buick frame. I like the bed, very utilitarian. For $600 bucks it would'nt be a bad work truck. Only problem the Powerglide, always in the wrong gear.
