Post by: DirtyLittleSecret on July 31, 2007, 10:49:39 pm: Okay. Im not usually one for street trucks at all, but understand the reasoning.
BUT, I gotta say that looks awesome.
Get rid of the handles, single pane windows, and maybe black out the front grille. Says nothing but muscle.

Post by: VileZambonie on August 01, 2007, 09:05:04 pm: I like it. But me personally I don't like the shaved look on these trucks too much. I think the exterior handles and mirrors breaks it up and makes them look better head on. The one piece windows would look pretty slick!

OUCH!!! :o Man, my bodyman that did my '91 quoted me about $4,000 for a complete paint job on my CC dually. The body is straight and rust free, but there are a few holes and things I need shaved and welded up. But DANG! Your truck is half the size of mine!
