My New Yee - haw Pick Up Truck

[leeds_182]

Yeah, it’s not a volvo. I’ve always wanted one and they’re on the cusp of getting too expensive so thought I’d try one before they become out of reach.

Chevy c10 350 v8.

Bought blind as always and arriving this afternoon!

It’s a bit Disney cars lightening McQueen but I think a wheel colour change should tone it down a bit.

More pictures to follow when it turns up.

Epic. Is it my eyes or are those rear tyres less chunky than the fronts?

Apparently the ultra low profile tyres are a thing in the truck scene. I’ll have to have a look when it arrives.

I like the red against the body colour

Cool truck

Looks like a great summer cruiser. What's it got in the rear-end, limited slip or will you be leaving single-peggers everywhere?

One wheel peel I think.

That is properly rapey

At least the kids can see it coming from a mile off

 

[Daniel]

That could be so so cool!! But the wheels and the roof are a bit too try hard for me.

Either way, it’s a V8 American pick up truck, it’s cool as f**k.

 

[OssPoop]

Exactly how big is it? The bed cover loos like a football pitch!

 

[massivewangers]

As you know, I don't really 'get' the Volvo thing, but this I totally see the appeal of.

Maybe do the wheels in white? Would tone it down a bit and look against the body work.

 

[Rich-D]

Awesome

Wheels are a bit OTT though, maybe an off white would look better?

 

[Willo40]

That is awesome, although i dread to think how low into single figures your mpg will be, great purchase though, super cool.

 

[leeds2592]

Needs white walls, those chrome dish wheel things you see on pick ups like this, back permanently open to reveal the wood and then lowering massively and it'll look pretty cool I think. Much less child molester-y.

It’s arrived and it doesn’t fit on

the drive!

Really needs an old sofa and paddling pool next to it to complete the look

Couple more pictures.

Is something like this quick with a V8 or is it more like a Land Rover with a V8?

 

[Cads]

This is bloody brilliant. Where do the exhausts exit? I can’t see them in the photos. Stacks or side pipes for the win!!

It’s probably got 120hp. And weighs 3T.

 

[SharpyClio]

Slap a charger on it... finish it off nicely.

I love American stuff like this, its totally mad in the UK and I am 100% on board with it.

 

[OssPoop]

Is it road worthy?

 

[Daz.]

Epic! Needs a camper conversion!

Be interesting to see what it does make on a weighbridge. Europeans have always mocked the Americans for their heavy vehicles.

Some of the big SUV's we're knocking about in now aren't exactly light.

 

[Touring_Rob]

OMG thats massive! The first pics it didn't look so long but its huge!

Good work mate, imagine it makes nice noises but drives a bit scary?

 

[Martin_172]

hilarious how they don't look that big until you stick them on a UK driveway haha!

cool project!

[Donny_Dog]

It 100% should not be on the road.
Defo someone poked their cousin on that rear bed, in the 70's.
What a whip

It’s fine as long as you start braking the day before you need to stop.

 

[Philip.]

It’s basically the length of the house

Love it!

 

[Darren S]

A mate of mine posted this up on our WhatsApp group.

He's informally known as The Cousin Fcuker and would literally live out his hillbilly fantasies driving this around, if you're free and available?

Epic purchase, btw.

 

[Crybert]

This is epic but I just spat out my drink with the length of it on your drive

 

[leeds_182]

My lads mullet finally has a happy home.

 

[Philip.]

Looks right at home!

 

[Matt W]

Are you ok?

 

[YorkshireKyle]

Are you ok?

Don't take this Jim

This bloke doesn't pay for membership and wanks himself silly in a Jimny

 

[alistairolsen]

Epic purchase JIm! Very cool indeed, very jealous!

 

[Jekyll]

Has it been restored on the inside? Looks clean compared to the patina outside.

It’s quite reserved at that speed. What’s it like at 4000+??
