what would be a fancy work truck?

A jacked up new Chevy 1 ton, king cab, long bed with bull balls hanging from the rear bumper would surely make you stand out!

I get lots of "That's a nice truck" compliments on my plain, work-truck model Ram 2500. It's silver with the chrome bumpers, cab clearance lights and factory fake chrome wheel covers, and it does look pretty sharp on the rare occasion that it's cleaned up. I've seen plenty of trucks almost identical to mine, but with the dull black bumpers/grilles and steel wheels.. and they're ugly! They look like a construction company fleet truck. Sometimes, just a few low-level "appearance" goodies can go a long way and yes, make a big difference in how others perceive the truck.

If I were to do it in style I would go for a Lincoln Blackwood, just like the way it looks. You could always get a Mercedes Unimog, they are unstoppable and hey its a Mercedes. Old Land Rover trucks are good too if it has the Rover V8, same identical engine as a Buick 215 so you can toss the side draft carbs and put on a 2 or 4 bbl intake.

Now that's scrapping with class.

Add a pickup bed and this would be some great advertising with your company name on it, a baby Peterbuilt or KW.
It mounts on a pickup truck frame.

I can't decide to either get an F-150 Platinum or a Raptor......test drove the Raptor a couple months ago..........What you guys think??

I'd say a 3rd Generation Duramax.

I have always wanted to do a chopped stretch limo.

2014 Ford F-150 Platinum review

When my truck was in the shop, my friend let me borrow his Platinum. Now that is a sharp truck...

I know this is old, but:

I'll go the other way- sure, anybody can buy a new truck if you have enough money or credit. But, how about a sharper old truck? You don't see them everyday. Even though it's far from perfect, and looks better in photos, my 1987 Chevrolet turns a lot of heads:


Plus, it's a whole lot cheaper than an F150 Platinum! If you have the money, consider going even older. There is a man in town who restored a Studebaker Champ- that truck catches my eyes every time it goes by!

I think this is one of the cooler member trucks we've had on here, no offense to all the others. This member just took it up a notch by actually cleaning it up and still making it a "work" truck. And could have entered it into a car show if he wanted. In fact he belonged to a car club as his "other" hobby.
