I like the color of the orange but, That truck would of been better off being parted out!! No Offence to anybody. Just my 2 cents. Good thing is, my answer I needed on painting the grill has been answered. I think I prefer it to stay nature and chrome!!!!

Looks like a cross of burb and ?

bpmcgee · 04-10-2004, 09:36 AM

I've always felt that the soft curves of that box just don't fit with the sharp angles of the '67-72.

This has done nothing to change my mind on that <g>

I think the truck is pretty killer looking but I would ditch the box,chrome the grill and damn the rear window look's huge... Good way to save a rusty burb before patch pannel's were reproduced..

Rod · 04-10-2004, 11:53 AM

There's just something wrong with it... dukes of hazard colors.. dodge stripes, low profile wheels....

barn9 · 04-10-2004, 12:01 PM

I agree with Rod, the stripes are fugly, as is that bed, and the dinky wheels. I think it could be saved with a wide bed and some bigger wheels and tires, plus a chrome grill, bumpers, and no stripes.

I do have to agree, I don't like the late model beds on out trucks.

Just a personal preference, no offence to anybody who has one like it.

That truck is fugly

Swbman · 04-10-2004, 12:47 PM

Somethings are better left the way they originally were built,and this is one of those things.However,for the most part I like our trucks in their Original Shape and Form.but thats just my opinion.

whitesswj · 04-10-2004, 12:52 PM

personaly, i'm not much on the bed, should've let it short fleet, but the rest looks really awesome. think about it. You can now haul your kids w/ ya w/ out using your arm as an airbag (remember that?).
To him his own but i think it looks pretty good

dinnut · 04-10-2004, 01:04 PM

guys comon that burb was rear ended by a 88-98 and then it hit a paint truck that was in front it. that has to be the explanation...

67cst · 04-10-2004, 01:20 PM

hey guys- i noticed too that i think he made his box sit lower on his frame, because i thought the step on the newer boxes lined right up with the lower body line in the truck, in this pic the box is like 2-3 inches lower in that part

jay6891 · 04-10-2004, 08:16 PM

Other than the bed sitting to low and not lining up with the cab body lines, I think it looks pretty good. Bigger wheels and tires would help it not look so top heavy.

jorgensensc · 04-10-2004, 10:27 PM

O.K., you can do all of that body work and fabbing, but you cant re- arch the bed wheel wells to match the front??
