    That truck is a jaw-dropper! I absolutely love it.
    I want a COE truck SO badly!
    I just became aware of these trucks a couple of years ago, and this era of Chevrolet may just be my favorite.
    I love the way that you built so much of it by hand, and made it blend so seamlessly with the original elements.
    First class work in every category!

    I've done my share of customs over the past 40 years. I have to say, this old iron is rightly done! Super nice job! I'm kind of partial to 54 chevies any way since a 54 2 door was my first car. This truck is a driver. Some thing you wouldn't be afraid to take cross country. Great video. It's going in my favorites list.

    I've been around since 62, two years ago I saw my first COE, where have they been hiding? I used to play in a truck junkyard, trucks of every shape and size. Not one COE! Now I'm obsessed, there's a camper version, that's out of this world. Glad they're being restored.

  • @flyingscrapyard

    Great build. Some great craftsmanship involved there. Makes me want to be part of it. I love making surfaces smooth, no matter how much filing/sanding. But the makes me think of guinea pigs being spiked with kebab skewers. Sometimes silence is golden. Well done on a great build otherwise.

    That truck is so "honest" looking!
    No pretentions, no games. Just hard working and honest! Somehow the shape of the metal, every curve conveys this heartfelt work ethic.

    I’ve seen a similar conversion at a local car show. It was built on a ram duelly.I absolutely love that body style.
    The truck in this video is breathtaking. I would have to daily it if I owned it. No chance I would be away from it for any amount of time. Funny part is, I’m not even a “truck guy”. There is something about that body style that just checks all the boxes. That one is perfect…well it would be perfect for me. Done so well it looks like a high end OEM factory build for a concept retro truck … so nice.

  • @robertnichols4833
    @robertnichols4833 4 роки тому +1

    I love that it's not a crew cab. All true pickup trucks are two door regular cab. This is the handsomest I've ever seen bar none. Every detail is just perfectly complementary of the rest. Exactly the correct blend of wow and understatement. A masterpiece.

    This is so awesome the bed and side steps are masterful. I would have done the tail lights different though . The way they are mounted makes them look like an after thought . They are a great choice but it would have looked better if the fender contour matched the back side of the tail light instead of it being mounted in a stand off fashion. The colors are great. It is beautiful.

    great job !!!, it's BEAUTIFUL, I love how you did the bed and running boards, I have seen so many of the COE's where they cobble the beds to the truck. Most people have NO idea how much work & thought goes into such a build, I do, mine was 3 yrs., just me & a friend, I did mine as a work & play truck. I have seen pic's of it on the net, the 1st. time I have seen this clip, would love to see it in person !!!, thanks for sharing !!!!, Wayne, Tampa, Fl.
