Looks like what would have happened if Chevy invented the Av 30-40 years ago.

 

[yakmar]

That has to be the U G L I E S T thing I have seen since the Studebaker!!

 

[ava_2500]

Weird someone drew that because pre-1996 no one could give a crew cab or suburban away.

 

[KingVolcano]

Made in Mexico

What is a"George Thorogood"? ?

I just rather our CURRENT Av design I guess!!!

 

[fireeater]

Where can I get one other than the magazine? Was there an artcle about this or was it just an artist getting his picture in a magazine?

 

[BIG BOB]

I would like to see one built just like it with a mid gate & all , that would be sweet!

 

[aetatis]

Man that rocks! Now I want to get an old chevy body
and start metal fabbing!!

Wheels are a little to low for my taste, but they do
fit the style of the front.

I love posts like this I breeze thru Truckin so fast..

George Thorogood is the artist that sang "BABABABABABAD, Bad to the bone"

 

[ava_2500]

aswell as other great songs like, "one bourbon one scotch, and one beer" and I think he also did "I drink alone"

 

[danlwil]

so does that really have a midgate?

Kinda cool... a 57 would look even better!

It was an article on the the artist, Ed White, and all his work. I wouldn't mind having him do a drawing for me.

I love it...
I just emailed Ed, the artist on where I can get one of these prints.
I will let y'all know if he replies.

Dammit.

I have been toying with the idea of Av'ing my '48. Need a 1-ton chassis to do it, or extend mine. The actual construction of the Av portion would be less effort than the actual extending of the body itself.

Another good idea stolen.

 

[carriles]

what year do you think this is spposed to be?

Early-mid 60's from that drawing. Can't be 100% sure without the front end, but that of course wouldn't be exactly stock either

 

[sphyrnidae69]

The Mag says he started with a '66 Chevy Crew Cab as the base.

 

[carriles]

the 60's era is what I refered it to in the e-mail I sent to him.

I hope to hear back from him.

I have been E-mailing Eddy (the artist) about his prints. I have sent him the link to this page so he could check it out also.
He sells his prints for $20 each. They are 11X17.
He also has a pic of a slammed Green AVthat he painted and was featured in Street Truck Nov '01

I am going to purchase both of his prints. I told him he may get a rush on these prints since I am posting this info to a bunch of Avalanche Freaks

If you would like to purchase one of his prints, his Email address is
Ed White [edwhite@fehrarules.com] He will reply. And his phone # is
281-455-2883 He lives in Texas.
He has given me permission to list his number and E-mail.

Come on folks, let's support a man who actually knows a nice vehicle when he sees one, Just like all of us.

I wonder if he drives and AV himself
Maybe Y'all in Texas can invite him to your next GTG, If so, tell him I said "Hi"
