wih that seat placement it looks like anybody over 5foot 4inch will have a hard time fitting in that truck

This is the second time I have seen it listed.

Must be an upholsterer.Hey!He missed the steering wheel.

big_al_71 · 12-23-2009, 10:50 AM

That could be a really nice truck.....

if the following things are done in my opinion:

remove the stupid red tint

replace the door trim panels

replace the steering wheel

replace the gauge bezel

re upholster the seats in black leather and trim the foam inside

replace the headliner

take all that shag carpet out of it

rework the bed wheel openings to try to match the front as close as possible

take the side trim panels inside the bed out completely

That truck makes a great starting point, the engine bay looks really good.

that interior is HORRID!!!

big mike71 · 12-23-2009, 01:49 PM

It's Huggy Bear's truck from Starsky and Hutch.

koolky · 12-23-2009, 02:23 PM

I was thinking about 1974 in the big middle of the van craze when fully carpeted interiors where the hot lick.

The workmanship doesn't look bad but the interior does look really dated and tacky by today's standards.

Longhorn Man · 12-23-2009, 11:56 PM

the fad in the 90's was tweed... like a potato sack.
I agree with the 1974 van craze comment, this looks like it was removed directly from one of those things.

xs-style · 12-24-2009, 12:07 AM

When I see stuff like this I wonder what it must to be like to work at the shop that did the work... "the customer wants what? thats gonna be ugly as sin.." Then, in the process working on it, they go home at night and think about workin on that ugly ass thing again the next day.

i agree with big al.

it could be saved. i'd gut the interior, rip off the red tint, and put the right bed on it.

the engine bay is very nice.

nickp51chevy · 12-24-2009, 03:15 AM

Wasn't that Austin Powers truck?

unclewatts · 12-24-2009, 04:07 AM

You guys can talk about that awful interior all you want. The worst thing he did was put that stupid sport side bed on it. Spiffy engine compartment though.

CB24 · 12-24-2009, 10:36 AM

Nice engine compartment.

Longhorn Man · 12-24-2009, 10:54 AM

i have to agree about the bed... at leat no one can see the seats from a block away huh?

BADPURPLE70CHEVY · 12-24-2009, 03:37 PM

I hope no animals were harmed for that interior

GR$$N$ · 12-24-2009, 04:05 PM
