This 1972 Chevy C10 Mad Max Truck Is Either Insane Or The Very Definition Of A Hot Rod – You Decide!

BangShifter David Brown saw this wild creation on Craigslist and decided to send us the link. We are glad that he did because we feel like this truck will be a very polarizing creation. In our eyes, this thing is either completely insane or the literal definition of a hot rod. Everything non-essential has been stripped away. A beefy looking square tube roll cage has been added. There is one seat in the thing. The frame has been radically shortened, it has detachable doors, and really the only thing that looks at all like a Chevy truck is the “tub” of the cab. The rest of it is just existing on its own, even the 15 gallon beer keg gas tank.

We’re not willing to call this truck a hack job mainly because we don’t think that it is. In looking at it, the thing is jarring as hell but none of it looks ramshackle or ready to fall apart/explode/catch fire. Maybe our standards are just impossibly low but we think driving this thing would be awesome because people would freak. Law enforcement may freak as well and each state has its own proclivities on what they consider “street legal” but there’s not a lot here that would preclude this truck from being driven in most places in the country…right? The lack of bumpers on either end could be rough depending on your state, but it has lights, turn signals, etc.

So what do you think? Is this 1972 Chevy C10 Mad Max truck nutso and bad or is it the definition of a hardcore hot rod?

  1. Chevy Hatin' Mad Geordie

    I’m sure Mad Max would willingly submit himself to hours of painful anal abuse with the great Humongous than have his name associated with this heap of crap!

    it needs a weathered diamond plate flatbed, a quad blow dart gun, and a leather clad guy with a highway patrol helmet and an old nitro funny car goggle/respirator gizmo to man the gun in order to complete the picture. Some framing on the front end in order to hold/display half-dead captives is also needed.

    I think the lack of fenders would be the main reason for the cab ride home while the cop’s hook takes it to the impound, and, oh yeah, wait what am I talking about? The lack of pretty much the ENTIRE body. Idk, some states let anything roll but this just says bust me. Bet if it can get those pro street tires to hook she’d have a nice 60′!
