Betting the reserve doesn't get met...just a guess.

edit: Not my truck.

MARKDTN · 08-10-2015, 04:15 PM

Not a bad truck, but highly customized. It's going to take exactly the right buyer or a deep discount to move this one. Says it was a 20 year project and only put 800 some odd miles. Makes you wonder why?

65standard · 08-10-2015, 04:39 PM

It didn't improve the looks, it hurt it.

67-C20-CST · 08-10-2015, 04:45 PM

No thanks.

WarMonger · 08-10-2015, 04:51 PM

I love the 67-72 trucks a lot, but I have never seen one chopped that looks good.

Fldawg · 08-10-2015, 05:50 PM

I won't take that bet. Too much hacking to have to fix.

The interior is just confusing...

tommys72 · 08-11-2015, 12:02 AM

Nope, not a fan

Fatherof3 · 08-11-2015, 10:39 AM

You should always lower a vehicle much more than you chop it. This is a classic case of the proportions being all wrong.
With better wheels and a proper stance at least it wouldn't scream "run the other way" from a distance.

Fatherof3 · 08-11-2015, 01:45 PM

I'd hang the air cleaner on the garage wall

toms68cst · 08-11-2015, 09:58 PM

That's worth the sum of its parts.

**Advanced Design** · 08-11-2015, 10:07 PM

Someone put a lot of work in this one.

69chevytrucker · 08-11-2015, 10:48 PM

not into it but i dont hate it just if i had it i would have to shorten the box and put much bigger rims . the one thing im glad he did was put the pipes on the side i thought it would look cool and was thinking on doing it to my truck but not any more
weird how it just doesnt suit it with side pipes i really thought it would

sherm6413 · 08-11-2015, 11:44 PM

As much as I love these trucks....This one is hideous!! WAAY too much b.s. going on

CG · 08-12-2015, 12:22 AM

I've seen several of our trucks chopped that look good. Weird how some of our tastes differ from others ... period.

There was a member here ages ago that had a pretty cool (IMO) blue one. Good proportions all around. Like others have said, when you chop em you really need to have the correct stance, and probably a short bed.

Whatever though ... to each their own

mooseknuckles · 08-13-2015, 06:07 PM

I hope they find the person responsible for chopping the roof and they get put behind bars. "choppin the top" on a c10 is a crime and should not go unpunished!

Clavo106 · 08-13-2015, 06:13 PM

unfortunately that a all year sunshine truck.. but where I live they sell for pennies not Dollar's. $$$. .

Baddflash · 08-13-2015, 08:24 PM

I think I'd drop the line about taking 20 years to ruin... I mean build it.

Baddflash · 08-13-2015, 08:26 PM

Doubt you could navigate speed bumps with the side pipes so low, probably why so few miles since completed.

I think side pipes that stopped at the back of the door would look better.

I really dont like the way the rear is centered in the wheel well.
