Looks like they did some nice work here.

Yea, but 150K!! Way out of my reach. I would rather have an old truck anyway but that is a lot of money and I am sure it still doesn't make a lot of money since it must take a lot of hours to build even after finding the parts.

Despite the high cost I thought it looked pretty good, until they popped the hood.

Yeech!

Mr. Goodwrench here definitely lacks the skills and knowledge to tinker with that motor on weekends.

**Sheepdip** · 07-01-2021, 08:44 AM

Nice! And well done....but... Should I ever have an extra $150k in my pocket I still would not invest.

**1970 CST Short Wide** · 07-01-2021, 12:15 PM

If spending $150,000 was like spending $1.50 I’d buy 2. Unfortunately that’s not the case this week

I think it should only be $75K since it has half a bed. My least favorite feature of the newer crew cabs - the midget bed that is not much bigger than the trunk on a 57 chevy I had at one time.. But this is one of the nicer retro versions of the newer trucks that I've seen, makes a big difference to graft in the grille and taillights. I'd still just prefer an actual 72..

**1971Stepside** · 07-01-2021, 02:27 PM

I think it is the best one I have seen done. Agree that the bed is too short. I greatly appreciate the work that went into it.

Super cool! And, probably a fair price considering the work that went into it. And, it is now another sliced and diced custom vehicle with questionable corrosion protection.

pretty cool.

This truck would not have the mechanical feel and character you get from a 67-72. For me, that is the whole reason for the 67-72 driving experience. The interior feel of looking at the 67-72 dash. Driving a 67-72 gives you that feeling of freedom and takes you back to the days when we had a little. No annoying seat belt warning bells, push button start crap, and you can decide for yourself if you want the doors locked or not or weather you want headlights to be on. I consider this truck in the video the be the blow up doll of trucks.

Does it smell like fuel inside?
