Dennis makes his way up to British Columbia to check out a couple of Foose built trucks; a '37 Hudson Terraplane and a '49 GMC. Cool trucks to begin with, but with that respected Foose touch.

Starting with the extremely radical Terraplane, they are exceedingly rare to begin with. Not something you'd normally modify if you're luck enough to get your hands on one, but as long as you have the hands and skill of Chip Foose, you can successfully do what you will and make it look right. Refining what was there, subtle peaks have been added to the fenders and roof, that minor difference changing the truck altogether, as do the lowered headlight buckets. All of it keeping the mean-ness, much like the angry set of realistic blue flames arcing beside the fenders. Sculpted running boards with the exhaust protruding through. So very clean, yet minimal in some ways like the interior. On the extreme side is the tubbed rear, huge tires and a 900HP blown 454 engine to go with it. Amazing it even fits.
The '49 GMC is just as impressive, if a little more understated. A bit heavy on the front end to begin with, it's been given a bit of a rake and the hood pancaked a bit to lighten her up. Both the lights and the grill have been pulled back into the truck, and there are creases added to the hood to give a profile to that body line. Beautiful and deep, two tone paint accented with 3 tones of pinstripe and a comfortable interior designed to drive, this stunner really is the grocery-getter. The sculpted and contoured bed is a piece of art. Reliable, comfortable, and beautiful.

Chip Foose does good work, and nowhere is that more prevalent than here.
