holy wheel flares batman! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

wow, the flares seem a little crazy for the size of the tire, but maybe there is some serious travel in the suspension for offroad.
I have only driven 1 small window truck.....and that had a blind spot from he!!.....I can't imagine that tire helps matters much

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-22-2005, 09:51 AM

I really hate it when they cut out the fenders.... Wonder if it really is a 67 swb 4wd original those are rare...

Nice Truck

Joe67 · 12-22-2005, 12:53 PM

Holy Hackjob!

69-350 · 12-22-2005, 01:03 PM

that's one gnarly truck! wow, that is sweet

67ChevyRedneck · 12-22-2005, 01:09 PM

If it was an original shortbed 67 4x4, kinda sucks she was cut up, but none the less, that is one bad ass truck. It's meant to be a toy, not a restored truck

**tnblazerk5** · 12-22-2005, 02:26 PM

just by lookin at it ,i would say it had much larger tires on it at one time

i like it

but i wouldnt have cut a real 67 4x4 up to have done that , now if it was built outa parts and peices sure i would have did that

67Fleet · 12-22-2005, 04:23 PM

Big rig mudflaps rule!! That thing is a total hack P.O.S. Would take a lot of work to fix that back into something worthy. Although it would make for a good Saturday night mud bogger.

shaneschevys · 12-22-2005, 04:57 PM

what the f--- were they thinking?

stllookn · 12-22-2005, 08:58 PM

Cougar, WA is in the middle of logging country, very near Mt. St. Helens. Have you seen what loggers do to perfectly good Levis to keep their caulks from catching on them? Well, then...they take the same approach to their vehicles...LOL!

I had a roommate in college that had a '67 swb 4x4 that he used in the woods. There was not one square foot on the truck that did not have a major dent or scratch in it! That truck has probably been thoroughly thrashed!

krue · 12-22-2005, 09:17 PM

Why buy a truck if you're not gonna use it as a truck?

I bet he had a lot of fun with that truck.

**special-K** · 12-23-2005, 12:00 AM

I know those are cut-out flares.But,that just looks like more than a 6" lift on 38" tires.38s won`t even fit a truck lifted 6".He must have a body lift he didn`t mention.I wouldn`t call it a hack job just because of the cutouts.No more than smoothing a firewall,notching frames,cuting the bed floor for air-rides,shaving driprails,chopping tops,tubbing...

(or cutting doors for speakers,lol

)

**tnblazerk5** · 12-23-2005, 12:29 AM

heres a pic

yup body lift look at the front bumper to grille

doors got speakers in them

i still like it and have been thinkin about doing sumthing kinda like it to my 70 jimmy but with out the body lift

i wonder what the flares came off of ?
i have seen cut out flares for a super duty on a scout and it looked good belive it or not

can sumbody clean the pics up sum and make them biger ?

smokekiki · 12-23-2005, 09:58 AM

When i bought my blazer,it had 15" wide swamper's on it.Stuck out 3",not legal around here.I had to get flares or put on different tires.Bushwhacker had cut out flares for 67-72 Chevy's.But no regular flares.I went with BFG 35x12.5.

**special-K** · 12-24-2005, 10:26 AM

That body lift would be soooo gone,if I bought it.Then it wouldn`t be screamin`for bigger tires.Did I mention I don`t like body lifts?(talk about hackin`)

*FUNMUDDER* · 12-24-2005, 10:49 AM

Too bad they ruined it. Small windows are hard to come by.
