Project "Shorty Lowdown"

[Speedquest]

Hi,
i am new to the forum. I became a Squarebody lover by mistake. I got tired of asking buddies to use their truck to haul things, so I decided to just go out and buy and old truck. I justed wanted something to sit in the driveway until I needed it, so I was only going to spend $1000. Well, the first day I looked into Craigslist, I came across something my eyes didn't believe - a 1978 Chevy Pickup, lowered and Chopped! I had to go see this. So me and a buddy drove way to far (about an hour) to check this thing out. And, lo and behold, it was as it was described! I fell in love with the thing, even though during the test drive it changed lanes when I applied the brakes! The truck was lowered absolutely the wrong way (cutting the springs). It was so low, the Trans Crossmember snagged a bump on the way home and the truck felt like it bounced a foot in the air!

When I got it home, my girlfriend razed my about leaving the house to buy an old beat-up truck and coming home with another hot rod project! I bought the truck the week before the Woodward Dream Cruise, which is the larged Cruise in the country. So, for $1000, I had something to cruise in. Although it needed some love, I got a lot of compliments, because you don't see a lot of chopped top 1978 Chevy pickups here in Michigan
