Thanks for sharing Gunpowder & Gasoline! I can only imagine how many times the rights to this show have changed hands but I am pumped that it has found its way to youtube!
I have been wondering for years why this truck was never completed and we never got a "payoff" episode. I know Stacy got very close to finishing it and then we never heard any more about it. Is it done? What happened to it? It was my favorite project Stacy ever built, and I never got to see it finished!!!
Actually The C series Cabs were built by Willys Overland, that's why they had some "cool" lines. this pertains to only the 1933-1936 1/2 ton "C models only.
Wrong, this is most definitely a result of function! If you had any knowledge of early hot rodding you would know that chopping a top was done on many early drag cars and salt flats style racers to reduce wind resistance. Since it also made the car/ truck look really cool many rodders adapted chopping to their street rods-and still do. Sometimes rodders prefer form over function.
@@danieljohnson9351 Maybe times have changed. If you cut up a classic truck like that nowadays people would think you were crazy. Could you give me a link to where this "chop top" thing was actually used as a performance enhancement?
@@insertgoodname4809 Yes, times have changed but some things will always remain classic. You obviously don't go to NSRA shows or Goodguys Rod and Custom shows or the Frog Follies. If you did you would see many, many examples of chopped- top hot rods and meet many guys who don't share your opinion. Also a well built hot rod can bring much more money than a restored original. And let's be real, an International pickup is not a super rare or valuable vehicle. As for a link, do the research yourself. Google chopped-top hot rods or look up older issues of Hot Rod, Rod and Custom, Hop Up or "little pages" magazines. Also check out many of the cars raced at Bonneville salt flats or the dry lakes, again, a lot of chopped-top coupes and even some later model cars all in an effort to reduce frontal area and, therefore, wind resistance.
@@danieljohnson9351 Buddy, you made the statement "chopping a top was done on many early drag cars" and now you don't want to back it up? Very telling. Prove you point or stay silent. I am not interested in taking your word for it.
@@insertgoodname4809 So I forgot to mention early drag cars a second time, big deal! I told you were to look for information, if you are too lazy to look yourself that's not my problem. Why don't you just climb back into your Prius and go away!
