BigBad Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 Nice old GM Pick'em ups trucks Chris and Ben! Ben, I like the way this builod is shaping up, I like your choice of wheels. What is going to make them turn, the Chevy small block you have in one of the pictures? No way a big diesel fits under that cab!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
