Here's a funny story: The last owner of that snubbed truck went up against the Silver 69 (or 70) short step w/the custom stretched cab & homemade bed @ the Ft.Worth GoodGuys show a couple years ago.
He wasn't real happy that the silver short-step was picked as the better of the class they were in because in his opinion..... "they weren't in the same class..... they weren't in the same stratosphere...." because his Boyds/Lil-John/Johnsons HotRodShop creation was soooooo much more.
I mentioned it wasn't about the amount of money or the # of modifications done..... it was the overall 'feel' of the truck as perceived by John Q. Public (not Mr. Barret Jackson).
He indicated I was naive in my thoughts.....
