A friend sent me these pictures. He saw it down in the Denver area. It belonged to some 80 year old guy that had been driving his 58 for years and couldn’t part with it but wanted the convenience of a new truck.

nOT BAD, LOOKS LIKE THEY JUST STRECHED THE FRAME AND PUT A NEWS CAB ON OR MAYBE PUT THE OLD FRONT CLIP AND BED ON A NEW FRAME. i WONDER...

**yote1234** · 10-19-2010, 12:53 PM

ummmm. not for me. but not toooo bad..

umwtnt · 10-19-2010, 01:06 PM

Definitely caused to do a doubletake.

**Stocker** · 10-19-2010, 01:08 PM

Not a bad concept but to my eye, something is just a bit off in the execution. But y'know, I have seen a lot worse, and if the owner is happy with it, nothing else really matters. Good for him for building a truck the way he wants to.

Mark B · 10-19-2010, 01:46 PM

I think it is fabulous - creative, unique, and well done.

ripdog28 · 10-19-2010, 02:08 PM

Section the hood and it would be perfect.

**Dieselwrencher** · 10-19-2010, 03:19 PM

I like it, I think I would like it more if something were done to the cab some how to help it blend better. Very cool and creative though!

Seraph · 10-19-2010, 04:08 PM

i swear i have seen a 72 with the interior of a new chevy and it had a duramax in it!! i cant find it tho...it was pretty cool. i like this one aswell

Jacfourteen · 10-19-2010, 04:16 PM

Very interesting... It actually looks better than I would expect it to.

**bignbad** · 10-19-2010, 05:01 PM

interesting.....The front end would look better if the hood was lower.It looks a little high.....I like it though

sandnuriz · 10-19-2010, 05:10 PM

Its a kit have seen before all fiberglass there is a few places that does the kit I seen at SEMA

Hubscrub · 10-19-2010, 07:47 PM

69 longhorn · 10-19-2010, 07:52 PM

Me likey

big mike71 · 10-19-2010, 08:58 PM

I don't like it.

Select · 10-19-2010, 09:20 PM

This truck is actually at the Mollie Kathleen gold mine tour in Cripple Creek, CO. I saw it in person from a distance last July 4th week. It looks to be well put together but still not my style.

AirSpeed · 10-20-2010, 07:37 PM

It looks like the front of the hood and fenders are going uphill. It looks like it fit together pretty nicely, I bet it wasnt and easy job!

raycow · 10-20-2010, 07:49 PM

My only real objection is that the hood must kill forward visibility. Apart from that, it actually looks much better than I would have expected from reading the description.

Just about lost my cookies looking at that one!

1LoC10 · 10-20-2010, 08:58 PM

i agree the front looks like its angled up.... and no that is not the kits they sell... the ones they sell dont look like that, and they are for 88-98's

Pop's C-10 · 10-20-2010, 09:15 PM

drop tha nose down & it's 500 ft homerun

chipflyer · 10-20-2010, 09:15 PM

I Like it, pretty cool!

Pancake or section....either one to remove some excess from above the fender line and blend the contours....I played with it a little...

sixtyeightchevykid · 10-20-2010, 10:10 PM

the hood is just a cowl induction lol, to me it looks like the front sits higher than the back, but still a pretty nice truck.
