Re: ebay truck that yall need to see!
When talking about old cars/trucks one should always keep in mind that "rare" color combination and "tasteful" color combination are not the same thing.
Put another way, there is a reason it is rare, because it is hideous...
But hey, it takes all kinds to make the world go round...
In other news, I would probably run my advertisement through a spell checker...

Re: ebay truck that yall need to see!
I think thats a members truck ? Or at the least the engine he has would be a perfect blend for the truck

I wonder if the truck was a "Ace Ventura" special order. Put a picture of a superbowl ring on the door and shes ready to roll

Re: ebay truck that yall need to see!
Too bad he didn't take a pic of the data plate with the actual codes on it. It's had some front end work done; both upper and lower valances have been changed. Don't even want to know what a guy had to be smokin' to come up with that combo. As far as 'the niciest paint scheme i have ever seen on aa truck', his taste is all in his mouth

Re: ebay truck that yall need to see!
I like it because it's unique and it's probably a "one off" for sure. I'd buy it if I were looking. It does appear to be in really nice shape and that's all that matters.
