Dose this truck look chopped to you?

I am trying to figure out if it is chopped or just the way the picture was taken. If it is chopped it is not by much... Now that I look at it more. If it was chopped the custom badges on the cab would be shorter also..

Yes that is a nice looking chop, not too drastic...they just took the "tall" out of the roof.
I think they just took the chop amount off the top of the custom cab trim... the custom word is not centered anymore.

Chopped...........used to see one out here that had less........maybe 2" taken out. Seemed like a lot of work for such a mild chop, but it looked good. I dont care for some chops Ive seen on these trucks, makes them look out of proportion to me. Just my .02

Re: Dose this truck look chopped to you?

chopping should be all about proportion.
for instance, a long fleet would take less of a chop than a short. The longer vehicle won't need too much of a chop before it starts to look too low
the basic rule is 1/3 =top, and 2/3 =body of the total hieght.

here is a short flee that I think came out ok. And a long.
