Ugly Mo Fo !!!

[m.walker]

I was gonna cut this up but it runs and drives too good . Not to metion the clean body other than the civy grill added on to help the 671 detroit fit in it .So I painted it green till I figure out what to do . Maybe make a bed and just play with it . I might even take it to the rally ! What do you think ?

 

[m.walker]

Oh I forgot this is what it looked like when I got it . I painted it to get some motivation to do something with it .

If it were mine I would keep it until a use for it came up. I think its kind of cute. certainly a conversation piece.

It didn't seem it so much in the multi-colors, but it looks to me like you're two thirds of the way to having the biggest WC62 ever made.

Ok, I am going to give away, (for free) one of my long time dreams.... Take some obscure bed off of something strange, hang a couple of jerry-can brackets , some Nato tailights, and paint it flat black with bits of OD.......Then paint on some oddball markings, in some unreadable language....instant South Giglistanian special forces. Ubber rare, it's the ONLY one in he US.
A friend of mine and I have wanted to do that to something for years. Kinda P.T. Barnum.

If I may hijack this thread for but one moment, 20 years ago we painted a bunch of Pepsi cans OD, and had a ink-stamp made to say " Cola,Can,Beverage, One ea, FSN ???-??-????-??? and stuck them on the table at a local gun show....It was hilarious.

Ok, I am sorry for the interuption. You may now resume normal programming.

You know, that grill doesn't look too bad! Definitely makes it look like the '40s design it really is!

Maybe I'm a bit odd but i like it. It's still a lot better lookin than a lot of vehicals on the road and just think of all the cargo space if you manage to find and customize or build a bed. I'm sure that detroit SCREAMS

 

[citizensoldier]

I like it too! Maybe a wrecker body on the back? Looks much better all green..Thanks for posting

I would keep it for sure perhaps make a neat camper out of it and I like the idea of a reliable detroit 6-71 in the truck. Did they also put in a Roadranger transmission or does it still have the original one in it? It does have a one of a kind look to it for going to shows

 

[m.walker]

Stock trans and everything else . It runs and drives great , thats why I couldn't cut it up . I think I'll make a bed and keep it low buck and just play with it . More pics .

 

[papabear]

No idea what it is supposed ta be - but once you painted it OD again you're hooked. Now ta gotta let her live and be something useful.

 

[sermis]

I LIKE IT...Bring it to Texas. I am sure I have something to trade....

 

[citizensoldier]

It has a ward La France thing going for it..

 

[Melvinitis]

Is there a reason you have not stripped the rear moldings? If you do do a bed, what use would they serve? Just curious, not being critical.

 

[maddawg308]

Almost looks like it used to be a gull-wing shop van in a previous life. I'd put a roll-back or a flat bed on it, maybe find a M36 long-bed to plop on that, give it a purpose in life so it can start doing some hauling. Just my two cents.

 

[oifvet]

At first, I was going to say, "I agree with the thread title." But, after scrolling down, reading the posts and looking closer at the pics, it grew on me. I like it. It has chacter!

I think you did right by painting it solid OD.

Drive that truck!

 

[rizzo]

looks a lot better green

 

[scooter01922]

How bout some pics under the hood???

 

[m.walker]

I'm not sure if everybody picked up it was a bridge truck . the panels on the back are there from when the FD used it as a tanker , till I make or get a bed . It's wide so a regular bed won't do so I'm still up in the air but it's cool and I think I'll keep it ! Besides you couldn't buy a decent pickup for what I have invested so far ! Thanks Mark

 

[hole]

I kinda like it too, maybe a crane / boom would go on back nicely
