  • Am I the only one who thinks this could be cool? Any photoshop gurus?

    Since the Gremlin I was looking at sold before I could get back up there, I've been scouting around for something else I don't need, and probably can't afford. Stumbled up on this and have been completely gaga over thinking what could be done with it. It's a1953 Chevy 2 ton truck. It was shortened WAY back when and had been used to haul mobile homes in the 60s and 70s. Am I the only person who thinks this could be cool? I'm thinking z the frame in the back and lower the shit out of it, all while keeping the 6 cylinder and granny four speed. Should I be commited??? Any one have ideas for it? I have no clue what I would actually use it for, but I've never let that get in my way before. ;D

        I think the short bus would be way cooler.
        Hauling ass & sucking gas are the best uses for a truck.

                Instead of Photoshop, go watch "Desparado." When El Mariachi calls for his bandmates, one of them shows up in a truck that looks exactly like that with a cut down pickup bed on it. That could give you some inspiration...

                    It's called a "trailer toter", by the way.

                              How cool would it be to pull into the local cruise night with a fully furnished single-wide in tow? :D I'm thinking the kitchen would need more than just one fridge... ;D
