Here is an interesting one

I think I might have posted a picture of this truck before, but it popped up on ebay again with all of the pictures. In my opinion its one of the more well done mash ups.

I like the rocker panels vs running boards. Well done throughout, although a 307 sure is a strange choice.

Interesting. I agree, one of the more well done mashups. I'd drive it.

I like it! Would be much better suited to the SoCal climate though.

I like it. Well thought out except the Chevy engine hiccup....

I also like it generally, not enough to drive it, but it's not bad looking, good work I am not capable of for sure.

One of my big problems is satin paints that are so popular today--everything is "flat this or flat that".

Gotta go with you on the satin does nothing for me and more often than not it's just an excuse for not doing good bodywork . The truck itself is not for my country but looks well done and quite nice . I certainly wouldn't be ebarrassed to drive it

I like it. But I'm curious why I'm seeing a manual transmission and no clutch pedal. What am I missing?
