Re: Nice truck-ebay

I'm suprised he didn't paint the tweed red too.... I guess it must be somebodies favorite color.

Re: Nice truck-ebay

Yeah, it would look alot better tubbed. I like the truck, but there is alot of red. He did some nice work on the interior, like the digital stuff.

i agree with ya

nice gauges and interior is cool...but man, thats alot of red

he must have got a good deal on the paint or he was too tight to get new chrome, so he just sanded the old stuff and painted it

Re: Nice truck-ebay

I can't go to ebay at work, they have it blocked. But, thanks for the picture 75stepside. It looks like he's got a true 70's theme going with the front window awning (or whatever that's called) and the all color frontend. I would like to see more chrome and removal of that thing on the front window. Wish I could see the rest of the pics. I'll check it out when I get home and have access to ebay.

Pretty nice. Nice to see some pinstriping.
The only thing that could use more red would be the mirrors.

Re: Nice truck-ebay

I wish I had more hands so I could give that truck 4 THUMBS DOWN!!! - Chappelle

Ok, WAAAY too much red, the interior color is ok but the tweed, bleh... the gauges are red which means they gotta be a pain to read in sunlight against all that red dash. wheels are ok (maybe).

I do like that it has a massive (well, big block) motor.

As long as whoever owns it, likes it, then it's all good.

just my .02

Re: Nice truck-ebay

The hood is 78 -79 and the bed is not the correct one for a 74 .

Re: Nice truck-ebay

I agree. Way too much red and also agree that that steering wheel does not look right in the truck. Maby it is because I am now older but I do not like holes in my hood and things sticking out of the hood and do not care for the visor. But it could be turned into a nice truck with some work.

Re: Nice truck-ebay

I'm going to have to with a So/So...change the grille to chrome, and the headlight bezels to stock "grey" and take off the visor and it's a NICE truck...and like others have said, it's not "Pro Street" unless it's got 15"+ wide rear tires...
