Anyone have anymore pics of the truck with the tag Flinch in the latest(?) truckin'?

I have fallen in love and can't get up! Someone help a brother out!

wasn't this truck at CES? I could swear I had seen it in Vegas last winter.

ca180 · 10-26-2008, 04:31 PM

With all the technology we have today, someone somewhere has to have more pics of this!

Thanks Ken for those shots, anyone have some live pics? Build Pics?

bonehead · 10-26-2008, 05:03 PM

Sorry, not my cup of tea!

**N2TRUX** · 10-26-2008, 08:55 PM

I searched all the shop listed in the article and got nothing...

ca180 · 10-26-2008, 09:05 PM

I know, dead ends....

Not many trucks in truckin really spark my interest... but that was definitely one.
All the others are too showy for my taste.
Oh well... Thanks again

CAL 58 GMC · 10-26-2008, 09:48 PM

Nice truck!

Frizzle Fry · 10-27-2008, 01:28 AM

That one is my favorite from that issue as well!

**special-K** · 10-27-2008, 07:13 AM

That`s purdy dern ultimate right there.

MEANlowGREEN · 10-27-2008, 07:23 AM

That is soooo sweet! Makes me wish I hadn't let my Truckin' subscription run out

jchav62 · 10-27-2008, 09:13 AM

That thing is AWESOME!! I'm not really into that style, but I'm lovin' this truck...

Chevysdominate · 10-28-2008, 01:51 AM

Is it just me or is it not a 63' like stated in the article? Looks like a 4-5-6 to me. Very nice truck regardless.

I was thinking the same thing. I know i'm new to these trucks but didn't the Chevy have the same windshied as the 63 GMC?

I just read the article. It says it's a '63. It's definitely a 'tri-6' cab. I wonder what's going on there?

jchav62 · 10-28-2008, 09:24 AM

I just found this link.. it's really a '66.

MEANlowGREEN · 10-28-2008, 09:30 AM

I'm guessing it was simply a mistake on the writers part. A pretty serious one considering he compares it to a more famous truck, Mark Barbee's awesome '63. This sort of thing seems to happen a lot if you read many magazine articles. Even more so on automotive television. Sometimes I wonder if the people know anything about cars and trucks on TV but for some reason I expect more out of magazine writers. Most of them have a pretty impressive automotive resume before becoming magazine writers and editors. Still, no matter how much you know and how much experience you have everyone makes mistakes.

kizer · 10-28-2008, 09:59 AM

The rear window is electric which I thought was pretty cool

*LILRED66* · 10-28-2008, 12:04 PM

I noticed it was identified as a '63, but it definitely has a 4-5-6 cab.

In the same issue of Truckin' magazine, a '66 K10 owned by Matt Hughes of UFC fame, was identified as a '66, but it had '65 emblems on the upper front fenders. The '65 emblems are long and narrow and the '66 badges are nearly square. The '66 badges were on the upper portion of the front fender and the '65 badges are on the cowl extension. I am not sure which year it was, however it was stated as a '66 with '65 body badges.

I noticed there are fewer fans of the '60-'66 than '55-'59 and the '67-'72, so it may not matter to the masses.

ca180 · 10-30-2008, 08:51 PM

I actually like the 60-66 better than the rest!

Except for the square body! Thas what I got!

Thanks for everyones help.
