Might be fun to have an informal contest or accounting. List your top 5 or so trucks in order on the forum. Might be good way to bring attention to some rigs others might not be aware of.
My list goes:
Larry's. ..polar bear suburban - so clean manual burb
Snekvessil chevy c10- so mcqueen
Metcalf's dodge - cool sheet metal fab low cg with meat
Larry's k10 - 8.1 awesome
Higbean's ford cummins crew- just not very common

Also mentions
Sooper campers f350-less is more
Pappawheelie's ford - detail built
Chili's chevy- built used and enjoyed
1leglance c20 burb
Lots more but wanted to give props to these trucks.

If you are on the list it would be cool to here whos rig you are looking at.

There so many builds that are amazing on here. I am kind of an old school kind of guy so these are not in any order.

Sooper Camper F350

Snekvasil 68 K10

Sebastian 97 F350

Pappas heel F350

Woofwagon
 

Seabass

I see I've been tossed in a couple times, thanks guys!!! It's hard to say that one build is my favorite over another.....but some are certainly very memorable for me. There's just tons of great builds here. Bojak- you've certainly offered up quite a task.

Pappa's is gonna have to be there-
Also rot box. These two guys in particular inspired me to sell my newer truck and go back to the OBS again- no regreats!

I love Chilli's outfit.

Larry's k-10 is mighty sweet!

I absolutely love the mountain turtle!! Anything military is gonna be cool.

Amgvr4's f-250 has an awesome suspension and detailed build.

And you gotta cool chevy Bojak...I don't recall the thread though.

Crap,,,,..that's almost 7. Sorry. There's just so many!!! I can think of at least three more right off. But you said top five. I'm gonna stop now.

thanks for the props guys! makes me feel like I've done more than just make a beater truck safe to drive again.

I have to say, I'm still digging through the build threads here. I'm a sucker for Fords, old trucks and big lumpy big blocks though
Larry's K10 and Burb are both dialed
Pappawheelys is going to be the ultimate DIY Earthroamer
angvr4's F250 is the truck that Ford SHOULD have made in the 90's
there is a really nice scout in here but it'll take me a while to find, I'm sure you all know it. top notch fab work and every detail well thought out.

I need to mention a couple more. As I sit and think about some really cool builds. I really like the Sooper Camper. I'm a sucker for old iron. I also gotta mention a truck that I thought was really cool- I believe the poster was idaSHO ? If memory serves right he has an OBS F-250 extra cab diesel. As I recall he fabbed up a 3 point flat bed for the flexy ford frame and slapped a camper on it. It's been a while since I read it- but I was so impressed with it. I can't find the thread. Anybody else remember the rig?

I think IdaSHO's build thread is on Pirate.

Thank you for the mention. Check out my build thread. Lots of good info there. Let me know if there is anyone looking for additional info. After all it is really easy and cool to build your own camper. Cheers, Chilli.:)

All of the old Chevy's on here are really nice so it's hard for me to rate them. The rest are off the radar to me.

I might have said that if not for coastal616 and his F450. I don't even like that superduty front end and I'd still rock that thing.

Larry's polar bear is probably tops for me because I have one that has served me so many years so faithfully, and It looked like Larry's when I got it.

Anything 3/4 ton suburban really. It's my all time favorite all purpose rig. I'm going to miss them.

Im pretty much a square body chevy guy, but I have learned to love square ford's too. Just from a distance. I have owned alot of vehicles (30 ish) and none were fords. I have driven many fords as company trucks and they were fine. When it comes time to spend my owm money I just have never been able to make my self want to spend it on a ford. That being said I am not going to talk down about ford. It usually comes down to how they feel behind the wheel. They have some good looking trucks, some of the best factory colors, and who doesn't think a king ranch package looks awesome? I will say the older I get the older my taste get. I also don't get 20" wheels so it is pretty safe bet I have become my father.

I do really like the older fords like higbeans and Sooper camper's. I like seabass' s and Pappawheelie's too but that is the last generation of ford that even show up on my radar. Coastal has a killer f350 build that I like to read but that has more to do with the build than the base.

To add to that point, when I was younger I thought a first gen dodge truck was the absolutely ugliest thing ever made. Many moons later and now I think they are killer. There is an beautiful old dodge in a cialis commercial that makes me want ED....almost. So now I even like dodge square bodies.
Child of the 70's equals loving 80's trucks I guess .
