I took the semi completed truck for a drive today. No bed, no fenders, no grille, no hood, no doors, no seat, no windshield, and missing a few other critical parts...oh yeah, and no exhaust!

Yes that is a five gallon bucket I'm sitting on.

lol! talk about weight reduction!

JHickson6 · 03-04-2003, 11:24 PM

Awesome, so how far did you get? Run into any Cops? I'd love to hear you try to explain to them why you were driving it.

*racedvl* · 03-04-2003, 11:26 PM

SWEET!!!! That had to be a awesome time!!!

minibike · 03-04-2003, 11:27 PM

I live on a dead end street, so I didn't go out on the main road. I was thinking of how many tickets I would get, if the cop wasn't a chevy truck fan. The next time I drive it will be onto a trailer and off to the muffler shop.

polevault1977 · 03-04-2003, 11:36 PM

casey · 03-04-2003, 11:36 PM

You just couldn't wait could you! I know how you feel

minibike · 03-04-2003, 11:40 PM

Wow, I never thought of a lawn chair. I've got one of those with cup holders!

JJ · 03-04-2003, 11:43 PM

Just wondering about that mailbox in the picture, does that flag go up and down?

rangernsk · 03-04-2003, 11:43 PM

You forgot to put your seatbelt on!!!

**Palf70Step** · 03-04-2003, 11:46 PM

Looks good man. great color choice (mine will be too someday)

*racedvl* · 03-04-2003, 11:51 PM

The idot that I am, I know for a fact that I would have taken that bad mamma-jamma around the block! Maybe even more than once!!

minibike · 03-04-2003, 11:55 PM

It is one of those moments when your wife just stands on the porch and shakes her head in disgust...gotta love it.

barn9 · 03-05-2003, 12:20 AM

That's classic! I think you must have the "FEVER"! LMFAO!

Jason71k10 · 03-05-2003, 01:01 AM

Jason

Alexis · 03-05-2003, 01:06 AM

lol.......i drove around the block with no headers.... and i drove agian on a main street for the hell of it.....and right when i was in front of my house a cop drives by. lol. didn't say anything or even slow down.

**1971Stepside** · 03-05-2003, 10:22 AM

LOL, I love it...that made me crack up. I can't wait to do the same thing! I'm glad someone mentioned the lawn chair because I was planning on my old trusty bucket too.

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 03-05-2003, 10:28 AM

Aaaaah to be young and foolish again. I cant remmember how many I've driven that way, ya just cant wait. Nice Truck, at least a good start on one. Cant wait to see the finished product

**Bowtie468** · 03-05-2003, 11:16 AM

HaHaHa, that's just too cool , minibike !!!! Sure brings back memories from the 72 i built in high school. Only it was my mom shaking her head back then. Hey i'm gonna have to go see that truck sometime, i'm about 15 miles from Lafayette !!!

Oh, if you really want to impress the wife, frame the pic and hang it next to all the family portraits, but only after enlarging it to umm.... 16x20 !!!

Priceless pic !!!!!

lpaine · 03-05-2003, 12:28 PM

I think you need to cut a couple of inches off that "bucket" seat. It might be restricting your vision. I guess you just couldn't wait to drive your truck, eh? What a hoot!

**Yukon Jack** · 03-05-2003, 12:38 PM

:p I know how you feel, hmmm, might have to do that myself when I'm able to!!!

Earl Junior · 03-05-2003, 01:04 PM

My brother-in-law has a 69 Cougar he bought in high school. He looked everywhere for a very specific Coug (had to be 351, A/C, manual, limited slip, etc etc). He finally found one in Missoula (about 200 miles or so). The car had no front seats so he drove it all the way back propped up on a milk crate.

crazy longhorn · 03-05-2003, 02:32 PM

That looks like fun!

Long Knight · 03-05-2003, 03:58 PM

Without all that weight I bet you would have a good 1/4 time! Might want to fasten the bucket down first.

>X< · 03-05-2003, 05:20 PM

sweeeet.

let me know when you finish i and take it to a show, cant wait to see it
