the first two pics... looks good, all down hill from there.
I do like the front tilt tho.

Texasbigblock · 06-09-2008, 11:15 PM

...........ugly

Mint68 · 06-10-2008, 12:12 AM

Could have been nice, but turned out very fugly. Wonder if that is why he is selling it?

Sinisterspeed · 06-10-2008, 12:23 AM

I can count the things I like on that truck on 1 hand. You would think with all the money he has in the chrome on the motor he would do something better for the fan mount then plumbers tape...

sleepertruck72 · 06-10-2008, 01:58 AM

Damn what a waste of a 68 truck if you ask me. I thought my surface rust on my truck looked bad, that thing is garbage. The motor is the only good looking part of the truck. But thats only if you ask me.

streetstar · 06-10-2008, 02:07 AM

whew --- one man's trash is another's treasure !

the rear end and back tires are a bit too narrow to go with the drag buckets and tilt front end, but that could be rectified, i guess

caminokid · 06-10-2008, 03:37 AM

Was I seeing that right?? Did they cut a huge hole in the bed for the fuel cell?

GREASEMONKEY72 · 06-10-2008, 05:01 AM

that fuel cell wouldnt be hard to do better, amoungst other things, nice paint though

Putter · 06-10-2008, 09:32 AM

They call those wheels 'tucked'. I disagree....they say they are 7-1/2" deep. Ohhhhh? The wheels on my Acura are 7" (big woooop).
Also noticed that it still has drum brakes. Going fast is fine, but you still have to STOP.

Change the grill
Fix the radio hole
Fix the fuel cell gaping-hole
Change the column (still has hole for shift lever)
Then I'd be fine with it.

sjarrett71 · 06-10-2008, 02:18 PM

Lots of stuff I like, some I don't. Ruined the grill though.

*screamin_eagle* · 06-10-2008, 02:27 PM

I think the guy has watched to many episodes of overhaulin. Gay a$$ foose paint job.

cobb_ben · 06-10-2008, 04:47 PM

Great hack job on the bed! Apparently this guy is not a member of this board. And the grill omg its so ugly and horrific! And the drag set up is a little much for that truck. I like the tilt hood tho...LOL

Ackattack · 06-10-2008, 05:04 PM

yeah it looked good, some things I'd change, until I got to the grill.

Still, a pretty nice truck, but a lot of things I'd have to change before I'd drive it.

67ChevyRedneck · 06-10-2008, 05:20 PM

As I was flipping through the first few pics I was thinking, "Why the hell are they making fun of this truck..." Then I saw it

At the current price it's something I would consider, it looks as if that funky thing just goes over the grill. Put a 67/68 grill back in, paint to match, and viola, back to a sweet truck.

*ksjh1316* · 06-10-2008, 05:59 PM

My favorite and no one has pointed out yet is the upside down 20oz pop bottle rad. overflow. On a truck an this price jury rigging should not be an option.

PipsC10 · 06-10-2008, 06:04 PM

If everyone pitches in 5 bucks, maybe we can buy it and crush it so we never have to see it again. I get the motor prior to crushing......
