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

Re: 1972 Chevy Avalanche
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? |

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
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. |

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.

Re: 1972 Chevy Avalanche
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?
