I appreciate the work that went into that, but that is not for me at all. Someone spent a lot of time and money to build what they wanted, so I say good for him.

Very nice Show truck and very cool that someone who makes show trucks had enough interest in the 1st gen to make this!

I'm 52 and I know I won't be "retiring"

I'll be working until they remove me from my office (feet first or in cuffs)

life sucks, and then you die

Probably a live tandem, it's sitting up on a heavy-duty truck frame. See the shock mounts?

I bet the trucks built before the 70's were meant to work too but a lot of guys restore/mod them too.

Besides the doors, I like it.

Interesting piece


Here's my thoughts..


Craftsmanship ????? Fantastic....


Concept ??? I don't like it, but then again, I don't have to..


I think that the stock look of the body of the 1st gens, second gens are just beautiful.

Add big tires, or just the OE height, and make it clean, and I'm stoked. Add all the body trim, and I really don't care for it any longer.


I would love to have a tilt hood, to be able to access the truck more effectively, but I'm sure that in converse thinking to that, it must be difficult to do anything on the direct front of the engine.
