Re: Pretty slick truck...
I do not like chop tops, but I can honestly say this one looks FANTASTIC!!!! Very subtle, and with the posts set at new angles, it just looks right.
Home run! ** Edit - Just looked at the pics on the web site. LOVE the dash and the tailgate mods!!

Re: Pretty slick truck...
love that dash, is it out of the 57 chevy's, I would love one of these dashes in my 68. I allready have a set of gauge pods, but I'm no fabricator and that looks like a lot of work to put one of those dashes in there. I think I'm going to leave it as is, clean up the gauge pods and set them on the living room table to use as a conversation piece.

Re: Pretty slick truck...
Shaved, tucked, & tweaked! Look @ the ends of the rear bumper. They roll around the body (similar to the fronts).

I gotta agree with you dude. That is just too radical for me.

Re: Pretty slick truck...
Hot damn! that's a nice truck. I agree with others the chop was done perfectly. I just picked up a 67 swb and this is very inspiring. I can't wait to get crackin on mine. I do have a question though almost everyone who bags this aggressive uses 22's in the rear but only 20's in the front why is this? Is there just too much clearance issues in the front to run 22's? Or is it just for the rake look? I have seen one truck with 22's all around, and that's kinda what I was wantin to do.

Re: Pretty slick truck...
On this truck they are going for a old school hotrod look, so the rake is part of that. You see a lot of 67-72 with a staggered combo (ie 18/20 or 20/22) because it works well with the shape of the wheel openings.

Re: Pretty slick truck...
Yes, the truck is in bare metal in the pics. Although we didn't need to sand off the primer from the Goodmark Bed we did cause we wanted to see it in all bare metal. I'm really glad we did too cause it looks so *****in.
We will be preping and painting it soon with Dupont Hot Hues "Retroactive" green. |

Re: Pretty slick truck...
We were wanting to make SEMA this year, but it looks like we won't have it finished until early next season.We will hit as many goodguys events as possible when finished.Texas is one of our favorites, so you can bet we'll be there next year.I hate to miss this years event, hope you guys have a good time.We,ll be working on the truck.

Re: Pretty slick truck...
That's the ONLY choptop 67-72 I've ever thought looks better than stock. Well done
