    Kinda hate the truck fenders being tacked on. Tubbing this big boy would have looked better. Maybe he wanted to make sure the clam shell tailgate and glass were still functional... I'm not completely feeling this one...

    I agree, but it could be tubbed and still retain the working tailgate and would have looked AWESOME . It's different, and to each their own

    I have never seen it. But, that doesn't mean anything. I did a search on searchtempest.com for 76 Chevy Wagon and it popped up. $4,500 obo It has been listed twice on craigslist

    First time I've seen that one. With those dually fenders on it, I'm wondering if it's got a truck axle housing under it. Thing's awful wide.....

    It has 33x12.5-15 drag tires on the back end. They used the stock rearend without narrowing it down, that's why they used the dually fenders. Most guys would narrow the rearend and put tubs in but they decided to go the cheap way
