Got the Pink today as a matter of fact...funny, I always had a feeling it would end up back in my garage...my favorite too.

What about Cher's truck? OOPS, did I say that out loud?

 

ray fahrner built a nice one,,,,ive seen it in my little books collection a bunch of times,,,,,i think it was a 40 ford if i remember correctly,,,had 53/54 buick headlights with scoops and teeth,,,and scallops..


i also like the bailon built shoebox/pickup (black and red) built for that shampoo company owner (cant recall the name)

anyone have pictures of these two?


and of course i love the kopper kart

 

The Joe Bailon built Shoebox... very nice










And the best thing... its still around

 

Not if you've seen it in person.

 

really? poorly built?

 

My first two choices, the Dream Truck and the Kopper Kart have been posted, so I have to mention the Alexander Brothers Deora!

 

I can't upload it right now cause I'm compooter stoopid, but there is a beautiful Tangelo Pearl (I think) 50-52 Ford that is so clean and on the ground (aired out?) that I've seen at Paso and I think at Primer Nats. Can anyone post a pic of it?

 

The Kopper Kart gets my vote.

 

I've always been a fan of the Chopped Chebby truck Gaylords built
several years back. Anyone got pics of it?

.

 

The Ala Kart has always been my Favorite!!!

 

they all look cool ..

 

The One I Have Always Liked Best Hands Down Was Richard Tiago . As Car Craft Called It Out Of This World Rod Pickup

 

Well, I'm not gonna rip on another guys pride and joy, especially not on the internet, but I'll say this, I saw a bunch of build pictures of it on either here or Ruffrodders, and was digging it(love those F100's in almost any form), saw it at the GG's DelMar and was disapointed.

 

Hey Jersey,Where the **** are ya? The Drivin Deuces 40 pickup has my vote!

 

This one?
Ralph's Ford.

 

Is this the Ranchero that was built, then involve in a bad accident and rebuilt with a more "revealed" front and rear end treatment?

 

No That Was The Tiago Ranchero Not Trendero. ANY ONE HAVE A PICTURE ?

 

Yeah, that's the one, baby! I don't know Ralph but I love his truck. It is a beautiful execution of kustom truck building.

 

Your Chebby is pretty sweet, also, 51Gringo.

 

The "R&C" Dream Truck belongs high up in this list.
