You want a short bed? Hey, one cut is easier than two, right?

travz500 · 02-01-2013, 08:14 PM

definatly different

There is one here in Houston that is beige that is cut just like this one. It was parked inside a storage area. I wanted to get a photo of it but now it is gone. Maybe that's some fad from the 80's.

I was thinking they were trying to duplicate one of the Ford Camper Special's form the 70's that had longer wheelbase. Without the longer wheelbase.

I wouldn't mind having those Turbine's though.

You've been on pretty good roll lately why don't you run down there and see if you can pick it up for 3-400 then sell me the wheels. Lol.

That truck is literally 100 yards from my house! The owner just recently moved a bunch of cars and now it can be seen. Been here almost 2 years and did not know it was there

I grew up on the Dukes of Hazzard, so I've always had a soft spot for those wheels. And '69 Chargers.

ol_skool_chevy · 02-01-2013, 10:56 PM

Those wheels don't remind me of Dukes of Hazard. They remind me of A-Team. Those were the type of wheels on their van.

PoDuck · 02-02-2013, 05:36 AM

Not the original, but the wheels are the same as the original.

RANDY COX · 02-02-2013, 07:17 AM

It's a bob tail rig.

Randy, I agree! The one I saw here in Houston had what looked like a 5th wheel mounted in the back...really unusual looking.

I stand corrected. The General's wheels have fewer spokes and more space between them. However I grew up with the A-Team also so still some nostalgia there.
