1972 Chevy Avalanche
 

I was browsing ebay and saw this truck, reminds me of a 1972 version of a Chevy Avalanche

That's cool!

I kinda think thats pretty cool.

I'm curious how they enclosed beneath the hatch, maybe I'll email them and see if they will post a pic

Re: 1972 Chevy Avalanche
 

The side and back view are just not my taste. I can appreciate the work put into it. And wish any of our projects were that "nice"... but something just doesn't quite flow right for me.

Everytime I see Redoak Tx, I think of James Blanton.. maybe thats the issue?

Definitely unique.

Re: 1972 Chevy Avalanche
 

Not for everyone but I rather like it. I think I would have used a pickup back window though. But keeping the angle of the back of the cab as is.

Re: 1972 Chevy Avalanche
 

Whats terrible is my wife likes it. Makes me wonder how cobbled up it is with newer power seats and power windows

Re: 1972 Chevy Avalanche
 

It looks cool and I like how they did it but the back end of it just doesn't seem right even though its a suburban thats cut off.

Still looks good.

I have pics somewhere he sent me about 4 years ago..if I remember the bulkhead area is kind of rough..this truck has been on EBAY numerouse times in the past.

Re: 1972 Chevy Avalanche
 

Not really my taste but kinda cool. Def. alot of work went into it though.

Re: 1972 Chevy Avalanche
 

James Blanton does leave a sour taste in the mouth. I kinda like it but I think I would have grafted the the tail end of a standard truck bed on the rear with stock pic-up tail lights & tailgate and filled in the rear cab/door space flush so it flowed better. Just my opinion.

I think leaving a Suburban would be a better idea. It seems pointless to me and looks silly,like an Avalanche. If you've ever owned a Suburban you'd know how great it is to have all this cargo and/or seating area all under one roof. Why eff that up?
