I like this look, same vintage vibe I am going for with my truck.

We have a lot of people come out to our little farm to do senior portraits and they almost always end up using my faded, dull, dirty old farm truck.

If I had a lowered shiny hot rod style truck they would NEVER use that for photos which is kinda funny.

That means you need to get another truck and give it that hot rod vibe so they have a choice. Betcha the old guys would go for it...:lol:

Not Sure if it is stock or is just sagging a little. Planning to upgrade all front end components this winter with 2" front drop springs keeping everything else stock.

My pickup screams 1970s with the Sigman Pitman slotted wheels that were bought new in 1973, headache rack, and the dual cb antennas. Still living in the 70's.

This terrible pic was taken about 1981. Ignore the model.

Heres my 67 c10 SWB. I think stock height is just right!

Re: Lets see those stock ride height builds
 
In using a pickup for what it was intended, I wouldn't be able to easily use a lowered pickup. It also seems strange having a pickup sit as low or lower to the ground than some classic cars. On some of the older 4 coil pickups, the coils will have compressed some, for somewhat of a lowered effect, and actually ride better than when new, that's about as low as I desire. I'm also a fan of wheels no larger than 15's.....
