I drive the **** outta that thing, especially with those hedders sticking out if the hood!

Really? **** yeah!! :driver: :burnout:

That would be cool af!! But. I like loud and obnoxious. :party52:


I like noise too :D I think it would be fun. My brother has a used set of headers, so if I do this I should put his on with no hood, run it around a few weeks and see what I think.....and if I like it, get new ones and cut some holes.

I'll have an extra cluster when I replace mine you could have. But , I can be a slow bastard and seem to like to procrastinating a lot. Lol

I actually bought a cluster for my blue truck a while back, but when I got the green truck I used that one because it has a tach in it :cool:

Here is the cluster I bought early on...

I was wonder who "Yes" was :anitoof:

Yeah a bit of a drive for a rusted out truck! The drivers side fender well opening on the box is much worse than the passengers side box fenderwell. It could be fixed up, but where does a guy stop! I would probably have to invest around $600 (maybe less???) to get it on the road I would imagine, then I am into far enough it isn't worth selling it for $1,500.....

That stupid green color is kind of growing on me though. At first when I saw it I about vomited in my mouth a bit....but now I kind of like it.

Here is what it was before I started taking off parts....

I don't think so..?? Looks like they used it to store the wood.

I wish they would've left the wood in it for me!!

THAT right there is one of my favorite trucks/color combos. Right up there with Ochre, which I see too much of lately....
I had 75 GMC C20 in that color combo back in high school for a winter beater one year. Well, it was 3 colors, green, white and RUST, and it was $500 but it ran, steered and stopped, lol.
