Nice! Looks like an 8.1L in there!

Any idea what they used for a frame, axles, tranny and t.c.?

FoxHound · 07-15-2012, 10:38 PM

That's my dream pickup right there. It looks so natural to have a crew cab, wonder why they didn't make them like that from the factory. Guess there wasn't much of a market for it back then.

Really nice work. The trim airbrushing looks outstanding too.

HaHa, not to worry...just wanted to salivate a little more.

YBNORML · 07-16-2012, 12:19 AM

That is one heck of a nice truck!!!!

**special-K** · 07-16-2012, 05:52 AM

Looks like a nicely done crew cab (not extended cab) done right,most likely using a Suburban donor.

67ChevyRedneck · 07-16-2012, 08:40 AM

And they even dropped the roofline down like a pickup. Very cool

It's got a solid front axle and springs, so probably the original frame stretched out?

I guess it was hauled there, no glass or seats. Maybe next you see it, it will be done!

yuccales · 07-16-2012, 09:02 AM

That is a great looking truck!

bigguy69 · 07-16-2012, 09:14 AM

i like it a lot!

big_al_71 · 07-16-2012, 11:40 AM

very nice indeed!!!

original-71 · 07-16-2012, 12:17 PM

nice ride

**CC69Rat** · 07-16-2012, 12:59 PM

Killer truck, .. just wondering why there are no door handles on the back, or side markers? Am I missing something?

.. No interior ..

I guess it's unfinished (?) But still, awesome truck.

LEX · 07-16-2012, 01:02 PM

Clearly a work in progress. Has no glass, either. Nice truck!

Mr Pops · 07-16-2012, 01:24 PM

Sweet truck, love the air brushing!

Critter · 07-16-2012, 01:38 PM

WOW, that's a nice one! Definitely an 8.1 under the hood, gonna be a lot of fun to drive that one. If I ever acquire body work skills or money to pay someone else to do it, I would love to have a nice crew cab like that!

A.Bursell · 07-16-2012, 01:51 PM

Love the airbrushed trim-- I have never seen that before and it looks great! I love how clean it is. And detailing it would be so easy-- no masking around trim, and it always looks perfect! Hopefully he never gets a paint chip in there though.

How did they get the wood bed to look so real?

**special-K** · 07-16-2012, 02:02 PM

That trim doesn't look very real. It all lines up perfectly!

I like how they painted it to look like the side markers aren't installed...OK,I see the looks. I'm shuttin' up and going over here now. . .
