Thumbs up How cool is this?!?

This is a really cool idea and looks awesome in my opinion! A concept drawing that's in the newest issue of Custom Classic Trucks. The guy drew it with the idea of cutting the back of the cab out of an older truck and doing some bodywork. Also, he drew it with Chevy van bumpers and it's tucking 20's. I personally would love to see this idea brought to life! Please excuse the big line through picture (it's right in the crease of the magazine).

I screwed something up here. Can you post a pic directly from your hard drive? If so, how?

That's the crappy thing, I thought of that too, but I don't have a website that I can load it to.

It's kinda funny when a artist with a big name comes along, and shows an idea, how well it's excepted. He is doing the exact opposite of what the early truckers are doing, just to be different.

Yes, it is different, but putting a small window in a big window cab? I don't think so!

Tucking 20's on a classic styled 73-80 GM truck? Been there, done that!

Van bumpers on a 73-80 truck? Hmmm? Well, it's not a 73-80 body, but I happen to know a guy that is planning the same thing for an 82 Blazer he has under construction....

BTW-No disrepect meant to Steve Stanford. He is no doubt a visionary artist, and deserves the utmost respect. We just don't have to agree with all of his ideas. Actually he gives credit to a friend for the window idea, so I guess I'm not ragging on his idea after all...:p
