Re-bodied!

That is a truck chassis with a 61 body sitting on it.

Great conversion, cool idea

Only thing that'd make it cooler is a solid front axle and a Cummins!

Very nicely done...about time someone took one of those and put it on a car chassis  ;D

That's incredible.  Especially since he did everything right instead of just throwing it together.

Can anyone explain why the front wheels on our trucks are wider than the rears?  What would he have lost by narrowing the front end?  It definitely looks better.  But there must be a reason GM doesn't do that.

Fairly healthy, I stretch my lower back often & it stays not so pissed off at me most of the time.
