I had totally forgotten about this truck. I wonder if it ever got finished, I dont think he comes around the board anymore. I also loved what he did with the hood.

Looks like 3 deuces poking through with the old school cleaners.

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've seen a few slammed trucks that remind me of Ford tall-T's, windows seem a bit large.

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
