If the grim reaper drove a 67-72 how would it look? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jott_06 · 01-25-2008, 02:43 AM

Just like the title says if the grim reaper drove a 67-72 what would it look like. I want some ideas for my 68 gmc because i want it to look sinister. I already have a gallon of shopline black acrylic enamel and i plan to run some sort of black rims but not sure what style yet. Its been lowered 3 inches in the front and 5 in the rear. What else should i do. I want it to be something that when i cruise through town in it people just stare like its something out of a horror movie. So lets get some ideas, pictures or even photoshop pictures and i'll see what else i can come up with for my build

Exhaust stacks out of the hood always look creepy to me.

gotta have a bit of ghost flame action going....

Eichorst69 · 01-25-2008, 03:06 AM

Gloss black paint with a black vinyl top and chrome emblems like a hearse has would be different. You could even throw an old coffin in the back.

I'm not sure about the Grim reaper but the devil is in my 68. I swear it is enchanted with Dark forces but it looks like a regular truck. OK really I would think the Grim reaper would have some gray ghost flames or subdued skull or skeletons painted on a black truck with some dark tint. It would have to have a nasty mellow idle and probably red interior lighting with a skull and bones theme. probably some red under body lighting also. I don't know I'm just guessing here. Maybe a smoke machine under the bed (mine has that also but it just comes from the leaky valve stems seals). I'm feeling so creative now.

With flames coming out of course.

A 67 panel painted up like "Grave Digger."

coffin handles down the side of the bed (chrome and wood), pillow interior panels w/ dark wood accents, a couple tulips on the tailgate (on top of the gloss black), mirror tinted windows, interior door handles and a shifter handle shaped like scyths (sp?) and a guest book holder that opens out of the ashtray.

I like the exhaust stack idea. I would also have to say ghost flames and or spirits in a ghosting style going down the sides or over the hood. Where the front markers on a 67-70 truck I would use red bulbs to give it the red eyes look behind a phantom grill.

Those are some great pictures. Does anyone happen to have a picture of a gloss black longbed with black steelies? I think i want either steelies or a set of 17 inch cragar black soft 8's.

67CHIP72 · 01-25-2008, 08:18 AM

My vote would be a Panel.

The Grim Reaper doesn't have to try and look bad.He's got all of our numbers.

BarryB · 01-25-2008, 10:43 AM

need to have the windows tinted red. I think that looks wicked.

gunkis84 · 01-25-2008, 10:44 AM

you deff have to tint it soo dark you cant see in.. (when have you ever sean the reapers face??) some slight red accent lights on the truck maybe wheel wells

PanelDeland · 01-25-2008, 10:52 AM

I think a panel would look wicked done up in the style.For red accents try a simple pinstripe on the bead area of the wheels.

MisterE72 · 01-25-2008, 11:02 AM

I personally prefer in he comes in one like this so i don't just stand there admiring the truck he's gonna haul my carcas in.

A few 72's · 01-25-2008, 11:23 AM

panel

Slammed70 · 01-25-2008, 11:24 AM

Needs to have a gun rack in the rear window for him to hang his grim reaper stick on while hes driving because he cant hold a Miller and bang through gears at the same time.....I know I cant.

odog · 01-25-2008, 11:51 AM

Needs a skull of some sorts

andrewt2 · 01-25-2008, 12:33 PM
