may not be the way I would do mine.. but I can appreciate whats been done and agree its alot nicer then anything I have.. variety is teh spice of life.. imho tis a neato lookin truck, cool that he came lookin for ya Mike, thanks for sharing.

That is a sweet wing LoL!!!
I didn't think it got any worse than having one on the tailgate, but this is like a whole new realm. That wing must make ricers laugh even.

Ok im sorry, i actually like the truck, but that wing has to go.

Alexis · 02-21-2005, 02:45 AM

take it off any sweet jumps?

dharroald · 02-21-2005, 03:19 AM

lol, gotta love that movie. tons of usefull one liners.

i think the tail lights and the wing have to go. i really don't care for that style of light. what's with the rocker panels? i do dig the paint and diamond plate though.

eh, it's not a bad truck. at least it's drivable, unlike mine, someday i'll finish the one month engine swap that's taking almost a year

arkracing · 02-21-2005, 09:43 AM

anybody notice the side "sport" mirrors??? - not my style but whatever.

I think it is a pretty nice truck - take the diamond plate of the sides of the bed there, and the chrome off the rockers/back of the truck and get rid of the wing

a few small changes and it would be an even better rig.

i.e. i think if the truck was dropped with some 2.5" spindles and 1" springs up front with some 4"-5" springs in the rear....the wing wouldn't look so "out-of-place"

but at least it is done, driving and has B.B.Power

Only thing I'm not a big fan of is the wing. I love the lights on the cab. The grill looks sweet. Awesome paint job, that baby has a smooth body. No interior pics???

Warbones · 02-21-2005, 10:17 AM

The truck owner didn't post the pic of his truck. Another board member did as a way of sharing.

bigjimzlll · 02-21-2005, 10:30 AM

for some reason it reminds me of a Jeep

I know

I was wonderin if he snapped a few of the interior.

greasemonkey · 02-21-2005, 11:38 AM

Is that a flush toolbox in the bed? I like that look a lot.

Just thought i would share pics.

Seems to be in great shape overall

That paint scheme is a flashback for sure

The wing and tails aren't my thing, but I can appreciate that truck. How many BBC SWB Stepsides are rollin' around anyway

Man, you guys are a tough crowd. Sure glad I saw this thread before I posted any pictures of my junk. Yeah, the truck is different to say the least, but apparently it suits the owner and that's what counts. If everybody had the same taste, all our trucks would look alike. How boring would that be?

nyncompute · 02-21-2005, 02:47 PM

I think its a crime that the PO took advantage of what is obviously a blind man.

**CPNE** · 02-21-2005, 03:02 PM

This thread reminds me of a few lines from the song "Tie Your Mother Down" by Queen:

I've got a sweetheart hand, to put a stop to all that
Sniping and grousing

I'm not a big fan or the rear rollpan and tail lights but the stance and running lights scream "all truck"

An you're right the stripes look like they are off an 80's Jeep Comanche, nothing wrong with that IMO

weasel29gm · 02-21-2005, 03:52 PM

At least its a runnin' ride!!!!! Some things I wouldn't done but its not mine. As far as changin' stuff on a truck to each his own. Seen some better and alot worse!! LOL!!! Thanks Mike for the pics.

I was thinking the same thing. "i pitty the fool who stole BA's truck"

I'm interested in ANYTHING with a big block Chevy and clearance lights.

Besides, even without paint, it's in better shape than any of mine!

Nice truck...SSOW

krue · 02-21-2005, 06:52 PM

I would drive it, then I would strip everything I could off of it and paint it! But if HE likes it, who cares what we think!

Opinions are like a-holes, everybody's got one and they all stink!
