8. Sometimes, even older customs make it into the yards; this one wouldn't take too much to become road-worthy again. It's already lowered, and since the wheels are there, it would make getting new ones a lot easier because you have something to measure off of.
9. That is right, people, you are looking at a rare fleetside non-Cameo bed for the '55-'59 GM trucks. We are still kicking ourselves in the ass for not taking this one home.
10. Some of the trucks in the yards will be a little too far gone for most people, but looking at this one we can picture it as a Rat rod-style roadster. The roof is already cut up, so at least you won't feel like you are committing gearhead blasphemy.
11. Not to be left out, this Dodge could be custom with some work. We even had a feature on one last month that was 'bagged and rolling 20-inch Intros. Most of these trucks came with a V-8 under the hood and disc brakes, so they are a good start.
12. These unibody Fords look awesome slammed, and a Camaro front clip properly grafted in will drop the truck a bunch and net you disc brakes.
13. Here's another truck we should have brought home, just to stuff a wicked motor in. This is an original diesel truck, which in California means it's smog exempt. That's right, it's a sneaky way to work around the smog laws, but you still have to be careful. A blown big-block sticking out of the hood would most likely bring you some unwanted attention from Johnny Law, and if he sends you to a referee station, you are screwed.
14. Now here is something you don't see every day, a '58-'59 Chevy Viking. Most of the truck was missing, but if you had a junker dualie, it wouldn't take much to swap out the sheetmetal. Plus, there is a short fleet bed sitting around the corner. Talk about a bitchen hauler.
