79BIG10 · 04-11-2003, 02:02 AM

I saw this on Ebay. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...&category=5348 Let all the pics download.

Okay now that everyone has stopped laughing or pinched themselves to try and believe that someone would actually do that here's what I noticed.

WHERE'S THE FREAKING ROOF!!

A stock engine with a blower (as if this wasn't bad enough) and only 325 HP? LMFAO!!!

Anyone notice in one shot of the gauges his truck has tach up (assuming truck is running when taken) and his oil gauge shows kinda low pressure and the ampmeter shows nothing

24k gold clad bowtie *bling bling*

I'd take the trailer

Bowed · 04-11-2003, 02:21 AM

Yeh Brandon , thats a strange truck but it got a big write up and picture spread in either Street trucks or Truckin mag . If I recall right it was built from a wreck .

BigRed · 04-11-2003, 08:24 AM

I must be weird, but I think it's kinda cool (minus the big wing).

Low87 · 04-11-2003, 09:23 AM

Not my style, but at least it comes with a helmet.

bpmcgee · 04-11-2003, 12:15 PM

This guy says it was built from a 72 SWB? The body looks a LOT more like the 73-87 to me.

Am I missing something?

LOHRTBT · 04-11-2003, 12:20 PM

B I must be losing my mind...I kinda like it.. NO its not a track terror but it wouldnt take much to make it one.

Has a lot of very nice detailed work and a killer trailer.

TIMSPEED · 04-11-2003, 12:36 PM

that's pretty trick, to have EFI WITH a roots blower...

LOHRTBT · 04-11-2003, 12:37 PM

Most the guys with that body style truck run the Whipple chargers.

Very powerful!

AirMale · 04-11-2003, 12:41 PM

Loose the wing and blue flames and I love it!

VetteCityBowtie · 04-11-2003, 01:21 PM

Prime example of stop while your ahead. If he'd left the top on and and hadn't put the wing and the flames on, I would have liked it. But then again, it probably wouldn't have got a write up in a magazine if he did that. It's not that bad

79BIG10 · 04-11-2003, 01:25 PM

I just think that the chop top needs to go along with the wing. Plus it looks too much ricer for me. Just like a ricer around here to look all bad and have no power under the hood.

uh huh... it says 1992 all over the write up. 73-87s are WAY different looking than that, that's definitely an 88+ truck.

looks like its a full face too, good for when you're cruisin around town so nobody recognizes you.

Tom · 04-11-2003, 01:45 PM

he's guessing 325hp the same way the engines rated. Its rated 210, add headers, exaust, and a tiny blower and you have 100 more horespower. Sounds about right to me for a TBI truck. I like the lack of a top, I plan on choppin the entire top/back of the cab on my 78 [removable hardtop]
And if its featured in TRUCKIN mag, it has to be done pretty dang well.

low 84 · 04-11-2003, 01:51 PM

i don't think it looks that bad. remove the ricer wing and wheelie bars which are definatly not needed. i'd rather need wheelie bars and not have them, then have them and not need them. but its pretty nice and it looks like its ready for a real motor to be dropped in.

**swervin ervin** · 04-11-2003, 01:52 PM

I guess to each his own.

Definetely not my style, and I'll just leave it at that.

Not referring directly to that truck, but I've seen some ugly crap in Truckin.

Amen to that! Just 'cause it's in Truckin' doesn't mean it's all that. Although, I'm yet to see a junker like mine in there.

c10scotty · 04-12-2003, 06:58 PM

that truck aint too bad, but not my style. i would have stopped a lot earlier. and yes, i have seen a lot worse than that in truckin. some of the crap they put in there just makes me wanna vomit.

C&C Chevy · 04-12-2003, 07:12 PM

Thats alot of creative energy going in the wrong directions!

Big Paul · 04-13-2003, 04:40 AM

I actually liked the truck, other then the V8 is a 305. At least thats what it says when I saw it in Truckin' mag.

It used to be a work truck that was orange or something and he fixed it up. If it had a roof and no wing it would be very nice.

If it was built from a wreck maybe thats one reason for the roof being off. its not a bad truck your all just jealous that you dont have it.lol just kidding. ya its a little overboard for my taste.

*rage'nrat638* · 04-13-2003, 07:50 AM

guess he dont need the wheelie bars!!!!!!!!doooh

79GMC454C35 · 04-13-2003, 10:43 AM

I think with a nice paint job, no wing, no wheelie bar, no roll bar, & no helmet it might be driveable in public. HP rating is realistic. Everyone with a blower thinks they have 650 HP. Why not 649 or 651?

apstguy · 04-14-2003, 12:32 AM

Is it just me or do wings not belong on a truck? IT YOU WANT A WING - GET AN IMPORT! Ick! Saw our year truck with a bing last week - I gagged!
