Dr. Cranky Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 This one is a beauty, and I hope you have not seen it already, but I post it here so you can enjoy it again perhaps if you have: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=av_Sm1sZwZA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unclescott58 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Ah... Leno is still one of the best. And the '67 through '72 generation of Chevrolet trucks is still my favorite. And I love the way Holly modified this truck. It has all the right modern goodies, yet still looks like the proper '67 Chevy I always loved the looks of. I especially like how stock looking they kept the interior. And I love the plain simple white grille. The factory mirrors, both inside and out. The color. The clean simple graphics on the door. Chrome bumpers. And no step bumper in back. I would have preferred body color wheels with dog dishes. I love the modern engine. The set up of the bed. And the Vintage Air set up. All around a very, very nice truck. I'd love a '67 Suburban with stock buckets, built basically the same way. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Would look even better with a white roof to match the white grille/headlight bezels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1930fordpickup Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 This is what I like about Jay. He likes them all , and will show off a car or truck even if it is not his. He gives the credit to the builders. Roger, Jay does not claim to be the builder in the video , he says this is their show truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1930fordpickup Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Yeah, I know. But, the title of this thread is kinda misleading. Yes it does, Roger but that is on DR. Cranky. I was thinking the same thing before I clicked on the link. NO biggie . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harry P. Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Gotta love Jay and Jay Leno's Garage! I only saw my very first episode just a couple of weeks ago. (I know, where have I been, right?) But now that I've seen about 15-20 episodes, I can say that JLG is a very well-done program. Jay knows his stuff, but he never overdoes the gearhead act. He tells the viewers enough technical stuff without going totally into gearhead land... I think he strikes just the right balance. And of course, he seems like the nicest, most down-to-earth guy you could ever meet, not one of those affected, self-important, egotistical tattooed jerks like on so many other "reality" car shows. Great show, great host, cool cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great show, great host, cool cars. He really is, I spotted him at the old Kruse swap meet at the labor day weekend in Auburn about 25 years ago. Since it was early and I normally do not bother celebrities when I spot them in public I left him alone. Instead he came up to me and started a cordial conversation with me for about ten minutes.

unclescott58 Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Harry you hit the nail right on the head why I like Jay and Jay Leno's Garage. A great guy. And great stuff. A great show. And not pretentious in any way. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And not pretentious in any way. Scott That's what I like about Jay. He's a huge star, but he acts like a normal guy. And I think it's not an act... he's just a real honest-to-goodness nice guy–without the ego that many celebs have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brett Barrow Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 To be honest I never really liked Jay Leno as a standup and I never really liked him on the Tonight Show. But he's great on Jay Leno's Garage. This is his passion and his calling, and it looks like he has a fun time doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ron Hamilton Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 I had a ball watching this one. Ironically, I just picked up a '67 Chevy PU resin body that I plan to do something similar to. Thanks Doc!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Speedfreak Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 I'm not really that much a fan of this era Chevy truck, this truck however is awsome. Nice job Holley! Beautifully done. Ron, looking forward to your build. Thanks for the video Doc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
