  • Champ pickup on the Hot Rod Network

    This is a really nice approach to a mild custom Champ.

      Yes, it turned out very nice! Had it been me doing the build I would have kept a Stude V8, and kept the tailgate operational. The box looks far better, narrowed up, and the interior is awesome.

        One thing that usually kills the look of the champ is the way that truck bed doesnt match up. They mostly addressed that in this, it looks way better.

          A really nice truck , But I don't know if I would have given up an operating tail gate. Ed

              I usually don't go for customized cars/trucks, but this one is tastefully done. Nice job.

                Rather bland color, but a clean build. The wheels would have to go if it was mine, but that type seems to be "in" right now.

                  Nice looking truck. I agree the color is not exciting.

                    Is it true that only 3000 '63 Champs were made?

                    1957 Silver Hawk "Josie"- picking up the pieces after an unreliable body man let it rot for 11 years from an almost driver to a basket case
