Main thing I don't like is the painted headlight surrounds/grille, a full width grille with hidden headlights would look so much better.

Come to think of it, that bed bob and lower side stripes look out of place too. Why not just use a short fleet bed?

I dunno man, I really think chopping these trucks looks ugly as all hell. Otherwise, it's not bad. It's not a bad truck, but not worth $16k.

looks good from the front shots but gay from that back angle that shows how short the bed is behind the wheelwell. ick !!! opeing pic looks GREAT. paint looks like its THICK (?) in that one front passenger side shot.

There are quite a few paint defects in the engine compartment. Overall it looks pretty clean, although WAY too bright for me.

Not my thing.

The only chop I've ever seen on these trucks that I REALLY liked was the one on that Grabber Blue stepside, I think it was XXL who owned it.

I dunno,for some reason,I like it.It`s different.The whole basis for custom,originally,was use what you got.It`s good work.Don`t get me wrong,I wouldn`t like it any more if it was a short fleet.Not my style.But,I think it would look cool enough going down the road.

i like it,he has done more to that truck then i ever will.i like about anything that is different and that one stands out for sure.sure there are a few things i would have done different but i am not going to flame him for doing it his way.

cdowns · 02-03-2006, 09:30 AM

some nice touches like the rear roll pan and louvered hood(could've done another 40 or so)// but overall the squashed look from the chop and bob tail treatment pretty well ugly it out

I'll just make it plain and simple:

This a F'ing Fugly POS!!!

"Custom"???

It's just ruined. Yeah, that's it, It's a "Ruined Custom". Yeah, LOL!!

When someone goes this far and then trys to sell it, it almost impossible, cause of the CRAP they've done to it.
I would be on the floor Laughing my A** off if this clown pulled up next to my truck at a Show

Gee, can ya tell I don't like It. LOL!!
