Pictures (from hot trux),.... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

**lolife99** · 01-15-2008, 02:25 PM

My buddy Jeff (aka hot trux) wanted me to post a few pics. So here goes,... He's putting a '89-'91 grill in his '85 stepside. Here's a few pics from this weekend. The aluminum radiator will be "sunk" into the core support. All extra holes in the core support will be filled. He has also filled the backside of the front fenders,(all the big square holes),... to make for a smooth look. I'll also include the pic from his avatar. Hope this works!

WOW! That's going to be nice. Please keep us posted on the progress...

LowStep79 · 01-15-2008, 06:53 PM

Very nice! One question... why not a fuel cell instead of the saddle side tank? Preference?

Eyegore · 01-15-2008, 07:03 PM

Awesome job, love the detail. How bout some close-ups of the frame?

72BlckButy · 01-17-2008, 09:59 AM

I can't wait to get a closer look of that truck, it's looking good so far!

xtreme80 · 01-17-2008, 10:21 AM

Looks awesome! Keep the pics coming!

**lolife99** · 01-17-2008, 12:17 PM

I'll try to get some "close-up" frame shots from hot trux. They'll be posted as soon as I get them.

jchav62 · 01-17-2008, 12:51 PM

Awesome! Can't wait to see more....

**texassquarebodies** · 01-17-2008, 01:57 PM

**lolife99** · 01-17-2008, 03:30 PM

That was the first thought that entered my head as well when I first saw the rolling chassis. With all the shaving that he is doing everywhere else, I never expected to see the tank hanging on the side of the frame! In any case, it is a really sharp looking truck. Can't wait to see what it looks like when completed! Keep us posted. ...Joe

jkaylor68gmc · 01-18-2008, 04:30 AM

That is very nice!

**lolife99** · 01-22-2008, 10:53 AM

Here's a few that hot trux sent me tonight. Just some close up shots. This is the engine and reassembled tilt column.

**lolife99** · 01-22-2008, 10:58 AM

Here's an assortment from underneath.

**lolife99** · 01-22-2008, 11:03 AM

Here's one of his old show trucks from the Street Machine Nationals. Remember,... this was 1992. Pro Street RULES!

72BlckButy · 01-22-2008, 11:07 AM

Great pics! Does he have his compressor and tank mounted on the frame yet? That thing is clean enough to eat off of.

Hoods69BadBowTie · 01-22-2008, 11:09 AM

Wow that looks amazing. Tell him to keep up the good work! I like it.

**lolife99** · 01-22-2008, 11:10 AM

Yes they are mounted in the rear where the spare tire would be.

tvblazer78 · 01-23-2008, 12:05 AM
