Turned it off when that Duane arse hole started talking.

Can't stand him. He makes me turn off the TV and walk away when he shows up on a show...

Cool Stuff! These trucks are the next 67-72!

I only watched a few minutes of the first one. . Got somewhere to be so I'll watch them later.

Chris Coddington talks about the ZR1 truck...A buddy of mine bought that truck a few years after it was built. I remember working on it and riding in it. The basic truck (mechanicals) was built for GM by Arizona Speed to be concept truck. Evidently it became a stillborn project within GM, so Boyd's shop ended up with it somehow. They did all the paint/bodywork and built one off custom wheels, along with a bad ass billet grill. It was all over the covers of magazines shortly before my buddy bought it. When we started looking over the truck, it was apparent that most of the body work was half assed. It looked great on the outside, but when you opened the doors you would see how unfinished everything looked. Vince & his dad put a ton of work into moving the truck to the nex tlevel. IIRC they did a full custom interior in it too.

They showed it a few times, but ended up selling it a year or so later. It was a cool truck but would look so outdated today. I have a ton of pics somewhere (not on my PC).

Which means our 400's will eventually start going up in value if in nice condition

Tod,

Thanks for sharing more about that truck. Pretty cool to see you got to work on that truck and have a history with it. I have a huge soft spot for 90's sport trucks and that ZR-1 truck would suit me just fine. The dealer is asking a hefty price but I assume they understand the hard work and dedication that has gone into making it what it is.

I really enjoyed the vids.Mainly because I work for Traders Trucks here in Santa Fe Springs Ca.Traders Trucks were one of the C/K Sport truck aftermarket installation pioneers.Really cool to hear a little history of Traders Trucks and every one else that started the 88-98 craze.

Paint and loose the side skirting and it would be a-ok!

Well, a bit of interior work also, mainly colors...
