F--- Winter!

[Mexican Kerry]

Had to get the Chevy out this week. Still dicey weather, it snows one night and the next day its +20 C. Tired of winter, can't wait.

Still storing it at the shop for now but had it out a few times to make noise. Put 200 miles on it last Sunday when I went on a parts run and met an old Tri Five dude and spent some money.

Its dirty and it knows it. The family dubbed it "Cherry Bomb" but its really Vicki Vallencourt.

Looks like winter is finally over here. Thank god.

Beautiful. A true work of art you have there.

Hey figured you might dig this, guy I know here in town is always building some crazy cars. Any of you Chevy guys will know just how special this truck is.

That thing is sweet.

That thing is sweet.

No doubt...

Never seen one....well, not driving around...

Know a guy that had one in his field years ago, but it had trees growing thru the hood and bed

I've never seen one. I thought it was a one off build.

There's a guy out west building crew cab short bed C-10's from the 1967-1972 body style. They are nice looking and he'll put whatever running gear you want, from a 572 crate to a 6.6 duramax.

They made some ext cab Chevy trucks in the 70s...I think 72/73...

Viewing from phone... pic is small...but back does look big now that u mention it...maybe it is a fab job and not original...?

Ya its a custom, they did not make extended cabs until the 80s, they had crew cabs earlier but not extended cabs. Its a 1966 , and short of the wheels , it could pass for all stock. I love the fact that he put a huge amount of work in to it , just to leave it a stock looking truck, you kinda got to know what your looking at to really appreciated it.

Pretty cool looking truck. I would want mine in 4x4 though.

I didn't know that. I thought 1988 was the first year for the extended cab. I've seen some fabbed extended cab trucks in the 1973-1987 body style but I wasn't sure if they were home jobs or a conversion offered by a third party. There's a company now offering a long bed option on the mega cab dodge platform. That thing is longer then a semi truck.

Slightly off topic: blew up my diff tonight. Lots of chatter and grinding.


At least I now have an excuse to replace it.

[Wyldman]

In the 55?
