That bed is plain wrong! Other than that, I think it's pretty cool.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 03-16-2009, 10:47 PM

Wow thats not my cup of tea for sure..

dwcsr · 03-16-2009, 11:10 PM

Looks like a roller skate

That truck falls into the, "nice custom truck, but I would never own such a thing", category

Sometimes the "just because you can doesn't mean you should" theory needs to be applied.

I love chopped trucks and I love modified trucks but somehow that one just doesn't spin my wheels.

Visors down would be like full curtains. Makes my neck hurt just thinking about driving it. Not my cup of tea, but I did see alot of chopped tops at the Goodguy's show last weekend that I liked. We can't all like the same thing I guess.

texanidiot25 · 03-17-2009, 06:50 AM

thirdstreettito · 03-17-2009, 07:36 AM

If he had the skills to shorten the bed and chop the top, why not shorten it all the right way...

Sinister · 03-17-2009, 08:53 AM

That's downright fugly.

c10addict · 03-17-2009, 09:21 AM

You may not like the style, but that truck is put together nicer than 99% of the trucks posted on here.

That may be, but I still rather have my truck then that one, cause it's fugly.

big_al_71 · 03-17-2009, 07:02 PM

I think that it is "Different" but definetly not my cup of tea....

BlueJeep · 03-17-2009, 09:26 PM

I actually like it, and I usually don't like chopped trucks...

It definitely is the owner's preference as to what they want to do. I remember in a magazine last year seeing someone chop a long bed down to shorter than SWB specs, leaving more rear overhang than a SWB would have. I like to see people try new things, and this definitely fits that bill, and makes it cool in my opinion!

c10addict · 03-17-2009, 09:29 PM

Check out the 64 Suburban on the website at the rod shop where this truck is for sale... I want it!!!
