heres one, i like those two but they have the wrong stance , rat rods look best slamed or at least super low. check out this thread there arent any square bodys but gets me inspired to go get some indian blanket seat covers and some black primmer and work on the truck

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=194064 also no squares but some bad a$$ trucks

Thanks!

I think you're thinking of another truck with the "no shine is fine"...

Mine has the Dakota Digital dash in it.

FlatBrokeRacing · 08-25-2008, 11:32 AM

I have been told that it looks like a "MAD MAX" truck once or twice before...
Someone else said if B.A.Barackus drove a stepside, that would have been it.

You guys are correct, it is the factory bumper, just flipped it up side down..

Thanks for the compliments
