awesome work in the dash area, tailgate area....

falvarez12001 · 07-26-2009, 06:00 PM

Yeah, I saw the same truck at the Heat Wave on Saturday. It's a real sweet truck

QKENUF4U · 07-26-2009, 06:10 PM

nice trailergueen.......

**70cst** · 07-26-2009, 06:19 PM

Great craftmanship.

**special-K** · 07-26-2009, 06:47 PM

Looks like something`s missing on the back...lol
Seriously,i`m surprised the rear is 1000% smoothed and still has a chrome front bumper.That truck is a candidate for a trimless nose to go with the rest of the truck.But,it`s cool anyway.

jholley · 07-26-2009, 07:26 PM

Yeah, there were some things that were done very nicely and some things that were half@$$. I'm guessing it just wasn't done yet. Hoping that anyway. Cool truck nonetheless.

bigsnookmaster · 07-26-2009, 08:04 PM

It's not exactly my style, but I appreciate the effort in a truck like this. It's all hot rodding!

That's where I'm at, too.....

It shows a lot of effort and God only knows how much block sanding. I'm not a fan of welded-up tailgates, but it ain't my truck. Still, it's just another part of the hobby and if you're Car Crazy like I am, it's all good.

bigguy69 · 07-26-2009, 10:51 PM

cool looking truck!!

Yea, I appreciate the effort and vision as well. Just not my cup o' tea.

BarryB · 07-26-2009, 11:50 PM

Wow thats awesome work, I like the laid out look. Thanks for sharing the pics.

Jacfourteen · 07-27-2009, 12:25 AM

I would never have a welded gate but you gotta admit that it looks bad a$$, Nice truck!

unclewatts · 07-27-2009, 01:12 AM

Beautiful truck. Looks like he's got a fifties chev dash in it. Also you want to say it's a 67 because it's got no side marker lights on it but I bet their filled in and it's a 68 because of the large rear window. The only thing I hate is the wheels Yuk.

OARNGESI · 07-27-2009, 04:16 AM

That truck looks great the only thing that stands out as odd to me is the tank

68Stepbed · 07-27-2009, 08:06 AM

All that money spent on the truck, they couldn't afford real trailer lights.

Redneck ingenuity at it's finest right there.

Sorry I just couldn't help myself.

He probably pulls them off and sticks them to the truck!!

Seriously I see NO tail lights on the truck at all... Good looking ride! Looking at the fuel tank and pump it must have a newer injected motor of some sort in it... Also I wonder how well the rear works with no panhard or track bar...

cdowns · 07-27-2009, 10:16 AM

i like the color hate the steering wheel . i'm a huge fan of trucks as trucks so wouldnt really give it a second look at a car show

eightbanger · 07-27-2009, 12:47 PM

Hubba, Hubba....Though i'd prefer a bit of detail on the tailgate.

rambler · 07-27-2009, 03:40 PM

thanks for sharing, I can appreciate the work on it..

Looks like the upper bars are triangulated, but not very much...
I had mine like that for a while but it seemed to have a little movement so I cut it out and changed the angles.

**mr48chev** · 07-27-2009, 05:35 PM

That looks like a custom dash and instrument panel done up to resemble a tri 5 GM truck's dash.

Interesting truck but again not my style. It does have a lot of interesting ideas on it that one guy or another might use on his truck.
