Anyone on here in Madison, AL yesterday?

I saw a SHARP looking truck yesterday at Clanton Exhaust on my way home from work around 3PM; anyone on the board happen to be attached to it? It was screaming yellow, seriously chopped & dropped and I expect it was there for the installation of an exhaust system. It appeared to have been trailered there since there were no lenses on the ZR-1 tail light holes in the roll pan and from the brief glimpse of it still had other finish work to do. It was definitely an eye catcher; I wish it hadn't been between other vehicles so I could have gotten a better look at it as I drove by...

I have seen the particular truck you are talking about before ... it was at the Delphi-Saginaw/UAW annual car show last year.

I stopped off this afternoon & got a little better look at it; they had it up on the rack making an exhaust system for it. It's been smoothed as far as any side markers go & the doors only have a hole in them about the size of a lock cylinder. The top's been chopped a good bit (maybe 5" or more) and there's no bed floor in it. It's bagged and the guy that runs the shop says it'll lay frame when all the air is dumped. He also said the fellow who owns it is named Greg; he brought it over on a rollback the other day & left it with him to put the exhaust on it. The hood & grill are removed and the way he's got a couple of large amber marker lights mounted on the sub-grille at an angle screams out intentions of a phantom grille. It should be a very interesting truck when it's finished!

Any pic's of this truck???

[Don T.]

Not from me; it was inside the muffler shop on the rack when I stopped to look at it today. I'll try to remember to carry the camera with me next week when I'm over that way again. With my luck it'll already be finished & gone...

maybe this is a different truck ... the one you describe sounds like a newly built truck ... the one i saw was at least a couple years old (rebuild age)

Did the truck you describe have a late-model stepside bed on it?

[Don T.]

I don't think it had a different bed on it; could've been a 73-87 step bed but I don't think so. If it was the truck you're thinking of then maybe he's doing it over but I expect it's a new truck. I don't know what kind of seating he'll have to put in it to actually drive it with the amount of chop that top has; sitting in my son's last night on the way to the recycle drop I was comparing them and the chopped top would probably take me off at the shoulders or below with the stock seat. I wish it had been on the ground when I got the closer look so I would have a better frame of reference. However, I wouldn't have been able to check out all of his airbag system & plumbing if that had been the case!

I'm hoping to catch it again for some pictures before it slips back into whoever's shop it's hiding in; be nice to see the diff between his finished truck & where he's at with it now!
