Srubydo1986 · 08-29-2007, 11:48 PM

looks like fun. but i know what id do with it. Drive it and no one would stand a chance cause id just run them over.

kevinr1970 · 08-30-2007, 12:43 AM

A lot of "it only needs this" and "you could swap this for that" for an $18,000 BIN.

78chev · 08-30-2007, 01:12 AM

Don't know what you would do with it?
You would push the skinny pedal all of the way down and turn the round thing left-to-right and right-to-left as many times as you can before someone stops you.

Bishops Trucks · 08-30-2007, 01:14 AM

You could do just about anything you want to with it. That's a tough looking truck.

krue · 08-30-2007, 01:19 AM

A little high (price) for my taste, but cool idea nonetheless.

Pyrotechnic · 08-30-2007, 03:16 AM

I think the medium duty front ends look cool. It's definitely an original medium duty cab judging by the small back window.

streetstar · 08-30-2007, 11:45 AM

Looks like a single cab International CXT or Kodiak --- If i were a millionaire playboy, it would certainly be something to consider

Joe67 · 08-30-2007, 12:47 PM

Nice toy

Mr79C10 · 08-30-2007, 12:49 PM

I Want One!!

cstanley · 08-30-2007, 01:16 PM

I've been wanting to do that to the '67-style cab... way cool!

that front bumper looks a little weak, though...

72BlckButy · 08-30-2007, 01:39 PM

That would be fun in rush hour!

bobbo · 08-30-2007, 08:14 PM

What red lights??? I never saw them!

see ten · 08-30-2007, 08:30 PM

similar concept.

MylilBowTie · 08-30-2007, 09:44 PM

Anyone see the big hole in the cab floor?

smashingchuck · 08-30-2007, 09:56 PM

what a piece of junk! $18,000? gimmie a break!

bb1979 · 08-31-2007, 05:52 AM

Not practical but driving it would be cool for a little while as long as i could give it back. This one made its way over here a little while ago finished alot better than that one tho.

Goodie · 08-31-2007, 07:09 AM

fun if you lived in south dakota or alaska when the snow comes in... I couldn't bring that home though...

cstanley · 08-31-2007, 09:42 AM

does anyone have examples similar with a 67-72 style cab (i know the years don't exactly coincide with the "civilian" models, but that style anyway...)

Stoney · 08-31-2007, 10:09 AM

Still Cool

Prerunner1982 · 08-31-2007, 06:00 PM

Rock on...

I have thought of doing the same thing, but the funds arent there and I have another 4x4 project brewing..

ChaseDale3and8 · 08-31-2007, 11:56 PM

I guarantee that those tree huggin', hybrid drivin', greenpeace liberal, Captain Planet freaks crap themselves every time they see something like this going down the road! Hey, if they can afford to feed those trucks they have my support because I like the big 'uns!

I used to have an 82 K20 on 44s back in the 80s to the early 90s and that thing sure liked the gas! I used to take a lot of crap because of my truck being so big and gnarly lookin'.

I used to get asked why did I ruin a perfectly good truck. It was always by these people that drive those little import speed bumps. I used to tell them just to go hug a tree and leave me alone!

...Joe

KMK454 · 09-01-2007, 01:41 PM

Go ahead and hate on me but I think that thing is ridiculous.
