last time i saw a 3rd gen on a truck frame, it was parked in the back of a tralior park.....what do you expect....( nothing against people in mobile homes) but cmon, if you were looking for one of those, it would be the first place id go lookn'
OK,I'll get this out in the open,I'm from a VERY rural area,raised cattle and hogs growing up,and yes,I have chased chickens off of my car.I also used to be really big into 4x4s,I mudraced for 11 years.
BUT WHAT THE F*CK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This goes back to what Jeff Foxworthy says,you CAN'T give a ******* money,cause' this is what they do with it!
I've seen lots of weird things put onto 4x4 frames including a Corvette.
When I was still racing,I had about a month of off time due to a convertor that Hugh's spent it's sweet time rebuilding,and I heard from a friend of a friend about a 74 Firebird 4x4,ended up buying it for $300,bolting my tires/wheels on it,and the carb from my regular racer.
I ran the snot out of that POS,until the trans puked,which was about when I got everything to put my truck back togethor.I stayed in the points that way,and ended up parting out that brain fart for about 4 times what I spent on it.It was a real crowd pleaser,too.I wish I had a scanner,I know I've got some old pictures of that clusterf*ck.
Damm! What a waste of time money and effort. This guy has way to much time on his hands. Did you notice there was no talk of it running or ever having moved under it's own power. So at best your buying a bunch of parts.
Still I'm sure someone will want and see it as a diamond in the ruff.
there is a local guy that's got a yellow RS on a truck frame... his looks MUCH better tho, he's got the nice dual shock setup, bigger rims and oh yah... his runs... lol
Not my cup of tea but meh... It would be fun to drive once or twice
Did anyone notice the Bernny dash, I wonder if it was a star wars package at one time. If i was to do a 4x4 camaro i do it better than that, and on a very basic camaro. Some of those Bernny parts get up there in price.
But like others said not my cup of tea.
Anyone notice he spelt camaro wrong, he even has the pictures to look at with Camaro on the fenders and the dash and still spells it wrong.
I think it is ugly!!!! I have never seen a 85 with that kind of front end, what kind of Camaro is that? Yes, I still have some things to learn, don't laugh at me.
Around here somebody has a stretched cadillac limosine on a stretched truck frame, jacked up a mile. I like it.
I'd never mess up a nice Camaro like that, but honestly, if I had another winter-ravished car and a blazer with a trashed body & good frame... yeah, I could see myself doing that.
Yes, bright red, and running on tractor tires... kinda cool, in a "WTF I'd never do that myself, but since he did.." kinda way
The chick driving it got it about 5 feet off the ground at around 40, and almost flipped it.

think of instead of burning the reartires on takeoff you could burn all 4. with a 355 cid with around 450hp at the wheels.
I was thinkin about doing this to a '79 'stang once on an '86 Bronco II chassis, but I figured the $$$ would be better spent on an autocross camaro

Few miles down the road is a guy with a 69 Charger...Low the car.. well before the 44'' came... Now well i hate it.... However there is also a guy that lives someplace around here with a late 70's early 80's sometime Cadilac hearse... Massive lift... Has the pipes coming out the side with flame thrower exhaust on it...Coffin stuffed with subs.. Now that car i like.
