This is not a FBMP find item in the sense it is for sale. More in the WHY did they do that realm. Watch the video.

I dunno, really, why- other than "because you can"... which is often enough reason.

When I watched them lay down the squarebody hood to use as a ramp the first thought was "gee that's a nice straight hood, shame they couldn't find one that had gotten bent from people trying to shut it with seized-up hinges".

It has a certain Subaru Brat aesthetic not often seen in the Chevy world ;-)

You can knock it if you want, but at least this guy's Clearance Lights are in the right place -- on the roof.
I *hate* it with these new trucks that have clearance lights in the Hood. What were they thinking? I'd personally be afraid to drive around at night in one -- what if some low hanging drawbridge operator saw those lights in a fog? The bridge might get lowered and decapitate the driver.
So I call them Headless Horseman Lights.

Wow. Wish my Jimmy had a neat sunroof.

And RedNeck Engineering at it's best: Bent up the steering linkage? Hell, you ain't gotta leave the Ranch. Jest weld on some stiff fence post. That'll get it.
