A useable Chevy truck with the transmission in the bed, wrapped in plastic, faulted only by a minor issue? Sounds like you bought it from someone I know. Curious to see how this one goes...and glad to see that it can escape that freaking ski slope you call a driveway!Editor-at-Large at...well, here, of course!

I've driven it... twice.... not sure what you're concerned about ;)
You know, Bryan, it's even cooler when you buy the truck and it's on Google Maps because it's sat there so long.
So the plans.... drive the flipping wheels off it (just as soon as I get tires put on them).... I'm going to take it to my friend to do a transmission re-seal, but outside of that... this is how it's going to be rocked for awhile... I may even fade some hand-painted lettering on the door.... but honestly, this truck has earned its faded paint and will get a full makeover eventually... but until then, there is something cathartic about driving a truck that screams "I don't have insurance" and "I'm homicidal" ... to that vein, what should the faded door signs say?Last edited by SuperBuickGuy; January 11, 2016, 04:38 PM.Doing it all wrong since 1966Comment

I'm hearing some old-timer giving directions:
Turn right where Clem's barn used to be
Keep going 'till you pass that old red GM or Chevy (can't remember which) pickup. Might be orange. You can't miss it.
Drive another 2 or 3 blocks...........

It looks like folks will pass you at all costs THEN SLOW DOWN 5 mph slower than you were going before they passed!

Just curious....is the option sticker still on the inside of the glove box door....? I'd love to see what this thing came with.Comment

I've said these words more than once. I don't know exactly what the appeal is. It is much deeper than my shallow mind can comprehend.... but bombing around in an old pickup is good for the soul.Originally posted by SuperBuickGuy View Post

That's great! As for the door signs...maybe something along the lines of a butcher shop? It has that plausible feel, but the imagery of gigantic knives and the willingness to cut through meat and bone...Originally posted by SuperBuickGuy View PostEditor-at-Large at...well, here, of course!

How about something a bit closer to home....
"Doowee Cheatem & Howe, Attorneys at law"
Or Perhaps more along the lines of
"Deep woods Fabrication" "Buicks Rescue dog training" or the like.

SBC - Let me say it was great to see this project on the front page. You do interesting stuff even if there's too much Chevy involved!
