buy the grill and bumper and put it on an S10

67ChevyRedneck · 01-19-2009, 08:45 PM

You know... on a first gen S-10... that may just work!

OARNGESI · 01-19-2009, 09:53 PM

Thats pretty cool

joekewl_chevyfreak · 01-19-2009, 09:58 PM

I have the right to my own opinion and thats just plain horrible. Not the design, the concept of the japanese copying these trucks, they cant build something worthwhile now so there trying to copy things that GM did right 40 years ago?

Yep you got a pretty good bead on it. The Japanese have failed miserably at making worthwhile vehicles. And what makes better sense than to go back 40 years to ancient American technology and rip off GM in a sinister but genius plan to save themselves.

It's a tribute thats all

1LoC10 · 01-19-2009, 11:22 PM

no its a custom shop that is into American style, has nothing to do with Japanesse auto makers.... i see nothing wrong with it

Yyyyyeah...I'm gonna have to go ahead and uhhh, disagree with you there!

big_al_71 · 01-20-2009, 12:39 AM

It looks like a Scion XB with a chevy imitation grille...

Nissan Cube. ^^

Aarons72s · 01-20-2009, 01:11 AM

Those are sweet! We need to import those so we have something cool to drive when the gas prices are around $4. Hech I would probably like to have one now. Hay gm here is a idea to help save you guys.

Especially the 94-03 s-10's. I always thought they looked like mini 67-72's and you put that grill and such on it, sweet!!!!!!!!!

As to legal use, I know here in oklahoma they just made the small japanese/chinnese trucks street legal here. You know the ones you see at nurserys, in city use and on ranches. I was wanting one of those till I saw this thread. Now I want one of them, especially the truck.

brendonak · 01-20-2009, 01:31 AM

Make the bed longer for a dirtbike and I'd buy one in a heartbeat. Or maybe a flatbed and you could carry two bikes, even better!

Willys47 · 01-20-2009, 01:56 AM

some one needs to put a blown small block with pipes going strait up in one have it all cromed up and make it into a hotwheel

Big H · 01-20-2009, 03:20 AM

With the media push for smaller, more fuel efficient vehicles to be manufactured, I could totally have some fun with one of these conversions as a commuter. Sure beats what we have for choices here. I agree the rear view could sure use help and I don't think it would take too much to handle if they can do the front so well. At 6'3" and 285 pounds with the shoulder span of a linebacker, I might have some serious trouble wedging into that mini cruiser.

Swifty · 01-20-2009, 03:26 AM

i like the trucks! i'd rock one.

petey-pablo · 01-20-2009, 04:14 AM

That truck looks Bad Ass Now just make one with the deluxe side markers add the rear ones and our sport mirrors the side trim pakage of a cheyenne rallye wheels also... Can anyone Photo shop it Just to get a clearer picture to see if it would work?

4tiresngas · 01-20-2009, 05:31 AM

Those are pretty cool. I have been stationed in Okinawa, Japan for 2 1/2 years now. I have not seen any here, or I probably would have been driving one. I drive a Toyota, like almost everybody else.

Just six more months and I will be back in the States. I go on the storage website almost monthly to make sure they are cranking my '69, checking it over, and moving it. Still no leaks!

Honey!Who shrunk the Chevys?

I dunno.It may have copped our look but it wouldn`t satisfy me just like the Hardly Davidsons that come out of the country.If I`m driving a micro machine it`s not out of 1st preference.I`d just go point A to B and save my money for the real thing.Or drive a little sports car and have fun.

MIGHT WORK AT THE GOLF COURSE ; ILL STICK TO THE REAL THING OUT IN THE TRAFFFIC.
