    I found this on Long Island today. It is for sale, but the owner is a bit of a spanker. It wil most likely sell for scrap value. What a great swap meet runner. At the very least, a good shed at my junkyard. I was thinking Chevy one ton dually step van chassis, 454 TH400, 19" steel wheels. I have enough spare parts laying around to build it on the cheap. Any input? I am new on this site.

    Get it and post pics of the build!!!! Welcome to the HAMB! There are plenty of chassis swap threads on this site. Just use the search function till you find one similiar to what you are wanting to do. Divcos kick ass.

    You guys never heard of a spanker? He is a jerk off or a hand job.

    Who called it a hotrod?
    Build it!
     
  12. its an old fuckin rusty milk truck. One with character yes, but a milk truck none the less. Somehow,somewhere the word DIVCO got perverted to the point that folks think it equals a 32 3w with Henrys bank account password in the truck.

    Divco's are cool, especially when they have a blown 572 BBC!

  16. Oh!? Excuse me? I thought I was on a traditional hotrod board here. I must be mistaken. Whole milk for everyone and some butter please. Kill this dumb thread and lets get back to something worthy.
     
  17. Mosthumanmofo,
    Welocme to the HAMB - you came to the right spot! And cool truck - get the thing and don't let it go the the scrap man. JUST THINK OF THE POSSIBILITIES!

    It would make a neat parts hauler.... but spare the me the details if you want to make it an over the top, undriveable monster motored, pro-street'ed, pimpmobile.
     
  26. I'd save it if I were you. What a cool project! :cool:

    Does it belong on the board?

    None of my bussiness..... :D

    Is it cool, damn straight.

    I love the angles and the fact that it is ALL STEEL, even the stylized parts.
