Let's see the chop tops! - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

LakeAnna · 01-22-2012, 06:21 AM

I've seen lots of chopped stuff on the olders street rods like the model A or maybe something like the 49 Mercury and they are cool. With these trucks I tend to like them just the way they are.
There used to be a 71 around my area that was chopped and it was

imo.

A mild chop is okay I guess.

CHeck out inside that dash!! Is that thing a right driver??

crazy longhorn · 01-22-2012, 11:10 PM

I tend to like a little heavier on the cut, mine is 3 3/4" at the rear, with the top tipped foward a tad(to straighten the lines @ the drip rails), & the pillars are laided back. try this link... http://www.webshots.com/search?query...nel=community+

Hey why didn't you just take two fenderwells and stich them together instead of adding the piece so you didn't have 2 seams?

'course your avatar does say fab til you puke!

crazy longhorn · 01-23-2012, 12:08 AM

It was a budget deal(lots of work tho!) I decided agianst the big rollers on the rear, & has since gone back to stock tubs. Every now & then I still run her to the lumberyard, & haul back 4x8 sheets, & that didnt work so good with the 5" stretch in the tubs. How much rubber are you running under your toy? crazyL

I like Chip Foose's stance in this area. He loves to make subtle changing to where you almost have to look twice to tell if something has been altered. That means it's flowing really well. These would look good (I think) if someone did a hefty chop and then followed up with about a 4" channel right out of the center of the body, just above the fenderwells. I did this messing with my buddy's stepper.

If you look closely at the pic, his house and garage got channeled too! lol

I honestly dont know what size tires and wheels would look good but if anyone intends on doing an extensive chop and want it to look good then they need to plan on not only chopping the cab but also the doors, bed, fenders, grill. I mean the truck has to be proportionate to look right and it would have to be lowered, like slammed kinda lowered lol

I have just gone through a 2 inch chop on my 67. I dont like the trucks with the huge chops but the oem is just a little tall from side profile. I still have a long way to go but check out my thread

I want to do a 1 inch chop just to freak people out and see if they notice.

I only like it if it is subtle on these trucks. Now a Model T or some older vehicle is cool...but I love the lines of the 67-72 as they are...the blue and red ones are subtle enough to where they look good.

I believe this truck is from IF customs, one of my all time favorites. This truck had some pretty crazy dragging videos.
