You're absolutely right.. The truck is confused, not knowing if it should be old or newer.. LOL

I can't believe you said this.
You like customs from what I get from your posts
This person or persons spent a lot of time to blend body lines together from a few vehicles to make this.
I for one like it.

Try blending an early nose onto a late model truck.
Also the step side blends in well.
Haven't seen pastel paint in quite a few years also.

I can appreciate the time, talent and workmanship that went into both, but they look like Frankenstein trucks to me.

Oh, I can appreciate custom work, but the proportions of the front clip to the front tires is off .
could be just the photo, could be photoshop.

For me it’s a matter of flow, the lines lining up

Here is a custom job done so well that it looks like Oldsmobile should have built it. Obviously the front clip is easy to do but sculpting in the 442 rear quarter panels and using the 442 rear bumper took some talent as did crafting the rear tailgate.

You guys are freaking me out now..

Cat Man- Yes I do like customs. But those are not to my liking.. That's all, just my opinion.

Now the GTO / K-10 truck is pretty cool, & so is the Olds W-30 / Elky.. Never been a fan of mudstains tho..
