dope smokin old man part deux-3 door shortbox
 

saw this today took a couple pics...hey andy i think the dope smokin old man is back at it

second one,

Man!!!
 

I like the color of the orange but, That truck would of been better off being parted out!! No Offence to anybody. Just my 2 cents. Good thing is, my answer I needed on painting the grill has been answered. I think I prefer it to stay nature and chrome!!!!

Looks like a cross of burb and ?

I've always felt that the soft curves of that box just don't fit with the sharp angles of the '67-72.

This has done nothing to change my mind on that <g>

I think the truck is pretty killer looking but I would ditch the box,chrome the grill and damn the rear window look's huge... Good way to save a rusty burb before patch pannel's were reproduced..

There's just something wrong with it... dukes of hazard colors.. dodge stripes, low profile wheels.... :crazy:

I agree with Rod, the stripes are fugly, as is that bed, and the dinky wheels. I think it could be saved with a wide bed and some bigger wheels and tires, plus a chrome grill, bumpers, and no stripes.

I do have to agree, I don't like the late model beds on out trucks.

Just a personal preference, no offence to anybody who has one like it.

That truck is fugly :barf:

:( Somethings are better left the way they originally were built,and this is one of those things.However,for the most part I like our trucks in their Original Shape and Form.but thats just my opinion.

personaly, i'm not much on the bed, should've let it short fleet, but the rest looks really awesome. think about it. You can now haul your kids w/ ya w/ out using your arm as an airbag (remember that?).
To him his own but i think it looks pretty good :metal:

guys comon that burb was rear ended by a 88-98 and then it hit a paint truck that was in front it. that has to be the explanation...

hey guys- i noticed too that i think he made his box sit lower on his frame, because i thought the step on the newer boxes lined right up with the lower body line in the truck, in this pic the box is like 2-3 inches lower in that part

Other than the bed sitting to low and not lining up with the cab body lines, I think it looks pretty good. Bigger wheels and tires would help it not look so top heavy.

O.K., you can do all of that body work and fabbing, but you cant re- arch the bed wheel wells to match the front??
