Monster truck (like Frankenstien) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Look at this poor truck.

Gauge overload...

Solution to rusted inner fenders?

Roll cage or, hum, art?

65-72 chevytoys · 03-14-2007, 02:18 PM

To each his own I guess. Not my personl style or taste, but you have to appreciate the fabricatoin and paint that went into that.

johnnywagon · 03-14-2007, 03:40 PM

All that work and the motor's not even "dressed up"?

vtblazer · 03-14-2007, 04:40 PM

Now there's personality with over kill.

Jtrux · 03-14-2007, 05:01 PM

my favorite part is the AN fittings, they can keep the rest.

Critter · 03-14-2007, 05:21 PM

I'm pretty sure I would like to have about 1/3 of those guages. There are bound to be at least a few of them that are useful!

onetonk5 · 03-14-2007, 05:50 PM

Thats as bad as the pro street blazer....parts vendors need to check ID's like the lady that sold me a knife today at wallyworld....asked if i was 18. I said barely, so whe carded me. Im 36.

**special-K** · 03-14-2007, 06:08 PM

What a pig.Think I`ll buy that skirted yellow one,first.

RED72blazer · 03-14-2007, 07:42 PM

I thought they didn't make jimmy's in 69

Removing the skirts would be a quicker fix... This thing is hopelss.

Didn't even notice they listed it as a 69 Jimmy. Just another in the list of things they screwed up on this truck...

**jaros44sr** · 03-15-2007, 06:53 AM

Isn't that a fuel filter laying on it's side?? Didn't know they would work that way!!!

Does it run?What a chunk-a-junk!Hopefully he made use of a bodo-bucket.I`d hate to think any good sheetmetal was wasted on that.A super off road machine with no air filter and a huge snorkle to assure massive amounts of mud,dust water,birds,you name it gets sucked into the motor.Alot a dreams evolve into show vehicles.But,most nightmares are better forgotten,sheesh!!I`ve never posted this before,but...

70gmcjimmy · 03-14-2007, 07:55 PM

That's a lot of work to come up with a "WTF"!! Probly a considerable amount of $$$$ too.

There was probly Jimmy's built in late 69, but they were '70 model year.

Later---DAC

NTR72GMC · 03-15-2007, 10:42 AM

Some one needs to take that poor thing out of its misery.

Dang, I watch ebay all the time and this is the first time I've seen it. Or, maybe it is just a mental block caused by traumatic experience...

They should part it out...

That's what I was thinking also, never seen it until now

**special-K** · 03-15-2007, 11:42 AM

The mind has ways of blocking out traumatic experiences.I should ask if he`ll part it out.The mirrors look pretty decent.

VinceY · 03-15-2007, 11:56 AM

C'mon
I would drive it....... but only on halloween.

**special-K** · 03-15-2007, 12:03 PM

You make a good point,Vince.Purchase price could be recouped if Hollywood had a movie spot for it.That`s one use for it,I guess.

**Yukon Jack** · 03-15-2007, 04:38 PM

Yikes - a little beyond my likes.

**CUSTOM/10** · 03-15-2007, 09:00 PM

I'm feeling a little sick !!!

akcamaro · 03-18-2007, 10:13 PM

those gauges remind me of the clocks at the airport; "it's 1:30 in Berlin" "it's 9:30 in Sydney"

**special-K** · 03-19-2007, 11:43 AM

Yeah,there`s a power steering fluid pressure gauge,3 different amp gauges for the lights,a gauge gauge...
