took me long enough:D

and... i don't have a rainy day vehicle yet... working on gettin an LS in my 67 c10, so i'm gonna focus on that for a while... i think...

Nice pick up! Also, post pics of the c10.
 
there's history with me and this truck... and this is how it is as of today... gonna be a LONG road, but it's got an 11:1 355 and turbo 350 in it now... goin to have the rear end built now with 3.73's and a detroit truetrac... i'm pretty sure the 355 is comin out for an LS...

How about a viper engine with a 4L80?:drool: That would be SWEET!!:rock:
 
The Monster is cool and all, I just never understood the shrunken look of them? They look to be a real short wheelbase wheras most bikers actually lengthen the wheelbase?:dontknow:
Help me understand this? What makes the Monster so sought after?:dontknow:
 
Nice bike and project truck, you copying me? I just bought a Chevy truck from Texas to make my next money pit. :D

i can't tell you to be honest... i've been a ducati fan since i was a kid... and i like the naked frame, streetfighter/monster look...
for me it was more of a decision of wants vs. needs... besides the fact that theres NO windscreen whatsoever and the wind buffetting is ridiculous, i like it... the seating postition is higher than a sportbike, but lower than a cruiser, i love the v-twin sound...
most people are extending swingarms for drag racing, or for looks, or whatever... adding an inch or two isn't too extreme, but these 3-4-5-6 inch extensions... all they do is keep the front tire down...
i just like them, and i found one that i wanted... so i bought it... but i've been looking on and off for two years... figured now's a good a time as any!:rock:
 
but you bought an ugly box body:D :D :D

They also got a 67 and 69 shortbeds, one with a big block for sale. Might bring the 69 back when we go drop of the nieces next week. You need any parts, I was debating buying both.
 
Love the Monster! I really love the blue/white paint too! Hadn't seen one like that before. I've got the same paint scheme on my Triumph Thunderbird. The '67 is my favorite of the '67-'72 Chevy trucks. Cleanest front end look. Definitely easy to find parts for.

Nice way to turn the lemon of wrecking your 10 into lemonade.
