Picture this ... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

CG · 03-11-2020, 02:45 PM

Im super rusty with my PS skills so I decided to mess around and see if I could make something that wasn't a total Frankenstein haha.

I found this easiest to do (of course) with a side view.
This is not a quad cab.

Behind the front seats (no idea how you would fit them in lol) would be a back similar to a pick up cab, maybe with a sliding window?

The rest of it would be open all the way, kinda like a cave. Some sort of weird engine cover would have to come in somewhere. The floor would be replaced with a truck bed floor stitched in.

You could probably rework the back (heck if you could do what's in the picture you could make anything out of metal

) to incorporate the rear portion of a pick up box so you could have a nice tailgate.

I also think a nice builders rack that went from rear to top of the cab like specialK has on his truck.

Another thing there was a drawing on the board (lost it again) of a lowered short box with work boxes sort of melded in to the bed sides. That would be cool and useful.

There ya go ... Dare to be different work truck.

I blame this on a lot of people haha! But mostly Longhair from when the photoshop board was active. He made a snubnose Burb van ... It was cool.

Found a pic of what I mean by cave ...

CG · 03-12-2020, 12:26 AM

I think this is funny, over 70 views and no comment ... Everyone is so polite lol.

This isn't anything serious, I was just goofing around. Reminded me of the good ol days of the board when the PS area was always busy. Lots of guys over there doing stuff for people. Some serious, some goofy like this.

Was this it ? I found this picture years ago and saved it.

CG · 03-12-2020, 08:34 AM

Yep that's the one. I initially made mine a little longer so the proportions were better but decided to make it more like one of those stubby Unimog things. Body and paint is much easier in PS than real life =)

That would be pretty cool! I’d roll that in a heartbeat

**HO455** · 03-12-2020, 11:39 AM

I like it. (But I also like FC-170's) Although it think it would look better with a longer box. And of course the engine should slide back to the back seat area, freeing up the floor space in front and making it easier to pull the front wheels on launches.

And here I thought that I was the only one with lots of spare time on my hands. I like the road you are travelling down and I hope the sun keeps shining. Have a good one eh!

**3757chevy** · 03-20-2020, 06:26 PM

Funny you say that. I got bored apparently .

Jim Boy · 03-20-2020, 06:36 PM

I'd start signing them. They are good.

No hijack as far as I'm concerned. Ive always liked the things people come up with. Photoshop area of this place used to be one of the most popular areas. I don't think people realize the time it takes to really dial something like this in so it looks pretty real. When you shorten or lengthen nothing lines up anymore, and there isn't a button you can just push and say ... Align this picture I just chopped up into 40 chunks lol.

So post your ideas ... goofy (like mine) or not =) I did a gasser burb years ago that I thought looked kinda cool.

Ive seen a couple real life short ones like the one you did that sort of looks Blazer like
