Hot Rods Baddest truck goes to ?

Ok,who's has the baddest truck around-I am talking both looks and sound? Anyone ? I vote this one. This truck is on craigslist in so cal right now.

 

Here is my new acquisition which I am wondering what to do with it.

 

I like the overall look of the truck with its aggressive stance and chop. I would have leaned the windshield back instead of stretching the roof and I don't like the reverse ackerman with the tie rod out front. this is a picture of mine in mockup stage and a link to how I chopped it.

I define baddest........not by looks nor sound...........But only by the E.T. slip from the 1320..........Way too many StreetRods dressing in HotRod clothing out and about these days..............Littleman

 

And you should know, Littleman. Your pickup is probably near,if not at, the front of the pack. Someone post up a pic of this not-ratty, not-posing, carefully crafted truck..

Lots of stuff is bad... there is no way to pick a winner by just one or two factors. Looks? Speed? Reliability? Comfort? Picks up chicks? Has a seat for a chick, even? Fit n finish? Trick stuff? Negotiates speed bumps? Luggage space? Ha ha. Gary

 

I wouldn't count your truck out,after all you race it.THAT ALONE MAKES IT BAD!

 

Hands down winner down winner

 

I got to agree with Rich on that one.

 

To me, Trucks are meant to do work, and one that can do the job well, and look good doing it is even better. The Golden Sahara Haul Truck fits the bill better then most.



The ultimate Factory Bad-*** Truck

 

? That is what I like about this hobby-what ever floats your boat.

 

No picture but ElPolacko's truck has to be one of the baddest. He felt it was OT and never talked about it, my memory is hazy but mid 50's F100 with all his suspension & fabrication workmanship and a seriously tubocharged, intercooled 460(?) with all the race duty dressings.

 

Really well said. So many "bad-***" pseudo fuel altereds out there that wont crack 13's, the rod-abillies squirt all over them, time slip tells the tale...How "bad-***" is it when a soccer mom in an Escalade wipes it up...

Heres one of my favorite bad-*** HAMB friendly trucks...

 

here is mine 302 cobra powered

 

I would really like to see that. Especially from what I've seen on here from him.

 

Here is Ted Radoumis' Willys shot by Tom Davison at GNRS.

This truck sounds AWESOME and is street driven with a 6-71 and mechanical injection. (For those that think it can't be done.) Ted and Mike Moore raced this this truck in the 60s, then Nolan Brandt and Ronnie LaHae were involved when Ted raced it in Houston. Reacquired, returned to LA, and restored, Ted doesn't drive it quite as much these days, but not because of the injection. He finally got the Halibrands shiney.

 

^^^^has to be in the top 5, but Littlemans is right there beside it.

 

This truck was in PHR in the late seventies.

 

What I like about Littlemans deal is that he has gone to the effort to make six twos really work. Two thumbs way up on that...

 

John, your Stude was the very first truck I thought of when I saw the tread ***le!!

To the HAMB...You owe it to yourself to see this truck in person!! Stellar craftsmanship, aggressive styling, and it couldn't have been built by a nicer guy!!!!

Kudos, John!!

 

Do you have any more pics to post of your stude? Engine,interior,etc....

 

Gotta throw the Elephant Hunter into the mix

 

I'll go with Norwell...

 

I gotta put up tim (yblock guy) f100 up here

 

Minnesota truck, 1954 Buick Roadmaster powered!

 

Nice truck!

 

Well this one was pretty fast for a street driven brick, and didn't sound half bad but I wasn't much to look at.

 

I was hoping that would show up... just love it.

 

The silver dollar willys........

 

Thrashers pick up
