The first picture I think is kinda cool. You have to appreciate the body work that has gone into that. The Nav front ends are cool. Anyway, before I get shot...the second picture is just an insult!!

jays68yak · 12-13-2002, 05:53 PM

The first truck would be better if the bumber/airdam wasnt soo big (read tall). If it was a bit shorter he could lay frame.

I know someone who fabbed a 94-98 GMC front grill onto a smaller 80's blazer. Looked pretty cool.

jay-dawg · 12-13-2002, 05:55 PM

well, it got him in minitruckin mag so i'm jealous. I hear it's a bondo job but with paint on it I guess it looks better.

I appreciate the work though.

I agree with jays68yak...the front dam needs to be smaller.

meathead95 · 12-13-2002, 08:58 PM

the truck is cool. the second pic sucks.

Mike C · 12-13-2002, 09:07 PM

Funny, I feel exactly opposite! Nothing wrong with a "Chebbie" in a 'Yota, but that other "Thing" is a crime of mythical proportions...

Bowed · 12-13-2002, 09:10 PM

BraBra , you got a pic of the red one in the top left ?

chaptr2 · 12-13-2002, 09:20 PM

The second picture is a SBC in a toyota. I have seen plenty of Toyata 4X4s with SBC in them. Prety cool is you ask me. The first one is just a guy who couldn't afford a Navigator. just my 2 cents.

GMC71k20 · 12-13-2002, 11:39 PM

its never a good idea to frankenstien.

Truckstr · 12-13-2002, 11:43 PM

Well... uuuh... the first pic is... uh... okay.

The second pic... well that's just stupid.

LS1 K-5 Blazer · 12-13-2002, 11:51 PM

Guy down the street from me has a white Toyota, snorkle and radiator out in front of the grill, it has a 383 stroker in it. It is dirty.

Bowed-Sorry bud, but don't have a pic of the truck on the top left. Sorry man. I really only save our era trucks, S-10 X-cabs, an Cavy's.
Lightspeed-I'm not a member of J-body, but I want to be but I figured that since I don't have a Cavy it would be a crime. My girlfriend has a '99 Cavalier, with 2.2 and 3 speed auto. Why U ask???
I personally don't mind a lil' 'Yota with a fresh smallblock but I don't think it's right to put Toyota inside the 'TIE. And the Navi is just a halfbreed. I personally thought the fascia was too big also; but I don't like it simply because they are rival manufacturers combined into one.????? WHAT???

meathead95 · 12-15-2002, 01:26 PM

there is nothing wrong with a sbc in a toyota. atleast now its halfway worth a sh!t. I just think the toyota inside the bowtie is disgusting

Iron-Butt · 12-16-2002, 08:53 PM

I hope he likes it.

MandarinSixSeven · 12-16-2002, 09:11 PM

I know a few guys around here that have HUGE land cruisers with 44" tires and all that, they are damn sweet...but you cant expect to turn the tires with a toyota engine, so whats the ONLY natural/sensible choice of an engine for power??? we all know the answer. so its not all that unreasonable in my opinion, should consider it a compliment to chevy engines...now the first truck is just stoopid! not only is it too big for a mini truck, but its made by ford, and i mean the front end of a truck, is almost the most defining part of body-work so if you wanted a ford buy a ford

Hooter · 12-16-2002, 10:18 PM

If only all those import tuners learned to put small block chevys in their cars instead of their wussy 4 bangers

Crank · 12-16-2002, 10:32 PM

Amen.

cableguy0 · 12-17-2002, 02:35 AM

me and a friend were really seriously considering making a totally bastardized car. we were gonna use a civic body weld in a 327 chevy th350 and a 9 inch ford just to run with all the the import boys that think the are big sh!t and we were gonna make it quiet too

*Randy70C-10* · 12-17-2002, 12:21 PM

I like the second pic. It's a tribute to Chevy from a Toyota owner. I run a 350 in my Ford and have thought about putting Ford in a bowtie as well. So what? Anyone want to race?

Big69C20 Toy · 12-17-2002, 01:45 PM

i know i'm gonna get flamed for this but anyone ever thought how great it'd be if Yota got some of their engine builders onto a SB chevy??? the technology they put into those '4 bangers' is remarkable and quite well done. if chevy ever got off its rear and made a OCH or DOHC SB we'd all bow our heads and thank the car gods because it woudl be a mean nasty evil beast that would spank everything..

Anyone remember/heard of a Cammer.... well lets just leave it at that....

Dont get me wrong i love my chevys i've owned 4 so far (i'm 20) and my family has always had em.

I like that s10 but agree the front is too tall but looks nice, the second pic well i like the coves but not the engraving.
