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 :lol: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=194064 also no squares but some bad a$$ trucks :metal: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=289510 :thumbs:

Thanks!

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

Mine has the Dakota Digital dash in it.

Moonshine runners... that's awesome!

Here's mine. Only picture I have since we bombed it with the spray paint, but trust me the pic looks much better than the actual truck!

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
