Would love to hear how many hours are into this and $$$...most guys here would be AMAZED!

I remember seeing this build three years ago on another forum and much of the metal work was completed then...curious how far before this the build started?

i dont see you are going to load sheets of plywood in the back without a tailgate.

Mike Bradbury · 01-27-2013, 04:13 AM

Great looking truck, I love all the mods. I can't wait to see it done.

Bennett68C10 · 01-27-2013, 01:31 PM

Incredible!!! What the specs on the wheels, looks like Billet Specialties Hiboy but what are the sizes and backspacing.

I want to know what you used for the bumpers? I also want to know what you used for the radio access plate? Is it electric controlled or is it spring loaded to raise up when released?

Working on a 68 that has had some smoothing work done on it, but nowhere close to this level of work.

Excellent job!

ddubbs · 02-21-2013, 02:54 PM

Excellent job!

The bumpers started life as four 67-69 camaro bumpers, and for the the flip up lid in the console we used the mechanism from a 90-92 volkswagen corrado/passat ash tray

**lolife99** · 04-19-2013, 08:12 PM
