Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
WOW.....
the pics of the body line not going down made me think it was an argintinian (sp?) truck. Then I saw the rest. I just don't know what to say about that. Had to have taken some time to make it look like it wasn't wood. |

Maybe the truck belonged to Norm Abrams. "Today in the New Yankee Workshop, we are going to build an antique truck bed. For a measured drawrring of this project..."

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
that's awesome.
If it ever gets scrapped, i wonder how pissed the scrap metal place will be once they realized they paid steel prices for wood. that bed has to way a ton compared to steel. |

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
Being a southwest truck, it makes one wonder if it rolled up from Mexico or South America. GM de Mexico made some weird trucks. Seems too perfect even for the most talented hard core wood hobbyist but I couldn’t imagine that being mass produced either. Whatever it is, it is the craziest thing I ever saw on one of these trucks.
Wouldn’t be funny to learn it is George Barris’s secret ’67 Chevy truck he had wood for.

Look around some more, maybe he built a matching blazer, or a suburban.

Re: Found a wood bed in the junkyard today. Think you have seen it all?
I have to admit, that impresses the heck out of me. Sounds like the guy just liked doing work like that, the shifter deal was just another thing he did that he thought was neat, quaint, etc etc.
Impressive work! Someone put a ton of time in it! |
