Nathan is at it again.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

aggie91 · 09-10-2008, 12:19 PM

I just picked up the Oct 2008 issue of Street Trucks mag this morning. In the "word on the street" section is a picture and note about Porterbuilt's new project. Since the mag is written about 3 months before newsstand date, I wonder if Nathan has some up dates? Hope he checks in and gives up some spy pics...

**N2TRUX** · 09-10-2008, 10:06 PM

What now?

**lolife99** · 09-10-2008, 10:23 PM

Article calls it "Project C-06". "74 short fleetside, twin turbo LS1, 1.5" chopped top, suicide doors, 22/24 inch wheel combo, complete Porterbuilt tube chassis with C4 Corvette suspension and Baer brakes. Carter Hickman Designs did the rendering. But I can't find a picture online anywhere. Maybe someone can scan the pic.

72BlckButy · 09-10-2008, 10:24 PM

That sounds like one sick truck... can't wait to see the pics!

**N2TRUX** · 09-10-2008, 10:58 PM

Am I going to have to buy a Street Trucks again. I gave up on them after they were bought out. Too many minitrucks for me...

aggie91 · 09-12-2008, 08:54 PM

Not sure why I picked it up except for that small add on one local Tahoe is in it and another Texas truck that I like, I usually do not get it either.

I hope someone can find a pic of Nathan's project, the small article was a rendering of the project, looks awsome. Maybe Nathan will chime in...

killthewabbit · 09-13-2008, 11:14 AM

I liked Street Strucks more after they reorg'd it. They have a good editorial staff who have built some pretty cool trucks.

Blaz-air · 10-04-2008, 09:03 AM

hey all, here is a larger version. Did not even know that this had made a magazine!

Carter

firedrag79 · 10-04-2008, 10:22 AM

Love the rendering. That is going to be one hot truck.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 10-04-2008, 10:00 AM

Very cool come on nate chime in here we all wanna know..

**lolife99** · 10-04-2008, 10:47 AM

Thanks for adding the pic. I now have a new "wallpaper" on my laptop.

Hoods69BadBowTie · 10-04-2008, 12:53 PM

Damn that it one bad ass looking truck to say the least.

LMDGUY · 10-04-2008, 02:38 PM

I asked him about this project in another post.. he said he was keeping it on the DL for now =( I really wana see that sheetmetal work!

TeamRinaldi · 10-04-2008, 04:16 PM

Not bad. I generally don't like lowered trucks, but that's pretty cool. I like the color scheme too, the three go together really well. The only thing is the rear. I don't like the new vette's, so I'm kind of biased. I really like the hood though. I'd like to see that available aftermarket.

boatpuller · 10-04-2008, 05:06 PM

cool looking.....i like it.

aggie91 · 03-11-2010, 06:59 PM

Has Nathan made any progress on this build??

3r!c84 · 03-11-2010, 07:54 PM

nicee i love the corvett rear

thrtsxchambers · 03-11-2010, 08:12 PM

I remember seeing that truck and never heard anything since. Hopefully since the rendering is 1 1/2 yr old hopefully it is almost complete.
Would be interesting to see an update.

MI2CHEVYS · 03-11-2010, 08:31 PM

DANG! THAT IS ONE BAD A$$ TRUCK ! I feel like taking a drive over to his shop to see if i could get a sneek peek.

dv8customs · 03-11-2010, 09:43 PM

I'm not a big fan, it may look better in metal than it does on paper though...

Chevy623 · 03-11-2010, 11:35 PM

I like the hood...thats about it though.

jmedero · 03-11-2010, 11:55 PM

I think its sick. Very good design and the thought to meld the two together was well thought out.

PBFAB.COM · 03-12-2010, 02:07 AM

The project was put on hold (before it ever really started). I have a pallet rack full of parts (corvette suspension/16" 6 piston Baer brakes/LS motor/turbos/ air suspension... etc.) Hoping to get a call one day saying that it's time to build it.

Well that stinks...I quess the economy is to blame for the hold up...

Thanks Nathan for chiming in!

jmedero · 03-12-2010, 02:17 AM

I am sure that pallet is taking up valuable space in the shop. I'll be a good buddy and come free up that space for you. No, no, it's ok I insist.
