Oh man, those whitewalls, chrome and fender flares are just too much…hurts my eyes just to look at it
That truck has more going than a 70s pimpmobile.
Sorry about my auto-spell. I meant to say that truck has more bling than a 70s pimpmobile.
Like I tell my brother all the time, just because they make it in chrome, doesn’t mean you put it on your truck
I think the chrome lightning bolts on the door just push it over the top…
Come on guys, you’re not thinking fourth dimensional. Think of how many fish it could attract! Weeeee! I knew my brother would be going nuts about all that chrome….
Whatever was spent on the super shock absorbing clock likely could have paid for something more attractive than stick on numbers for the bumpers. It’s also possible after repairing all the new holes drilled in this old truck for the mounting of chrome for chromes sake you may discover a $12,000 truck under there. Or maybe all that junk was meant to distract our attention.
Somebody fell in love with their J.C. Whitney Catalog.
This might work in Panama, the Phillipines, or Afghanistan, but in Colorado??? Really? What a horrible attrocity to commit upon a vintage 1957 American vehicle ;-(
It was in magazines?
Maybe in MAD magazine! A spoof on pimp culture, perhaps?
Uh… unique indeed.
Hat tip to Brian for the JC Whitney reference.
I noticed that there are no “chrome mud flap girl”, chrome skull, or chrome flames decals on the truck. Maybe I’m being too critical with my previous post? π
One more thing I noticed about it: No curb feelers…really?!?!
Must have been on the show, pimp my ride. The bed is probably a sheet of chrome
What did you guys miss the garages doors and gable
But it is a “saved” one on the road. Better then seeing it a the scrap yard.
