Re: Chop Tops ???
I agree on no chop
ive only seen it done once where i liked it dropped the roof 4 1/2 inches angled back the a pillars dropped the bed top down 3 inches and brought the wheel arches down 3 inches so it all looked in proportion but that probably more work than you want to do

Re: Chop Tops ???

I like chopped trucks but that one is too much for me.... 2 or 2 1/2" would be my max. I also like them better with the "A" pillars cut, not leaned back. Just my 2¢ worth... LockDoc

Re: Chop Tops ???
choping in my opinion is for the out doorsman or the braves.

Re: Chop Tops ???
if done right, it can look bad ass. I generaly go for the stock body... restomod if you will... but sometimes, you see one that just works.
Besides... it's a longhorn. So it's gonna be cool no matter what. ![]() |

Re: Chop Tops ???
Chop -
![]() Slammed - OK I have only ever seen one chop on these trucks that I like. It was in the Projects section, but I can't for the life of me find it. It was very subtle, and the body was completely wire wheeled, just shiney metal. Dang, now I really want to find that thread!!

Re: Chop Tops ???
I think so. I don't remember if this was the one that the top of the hood opened or not though. I remember that mod, just can't remember if it was the same truck. I do remember lots of pics taken in the shop (large shop), and there were some taken outside on the grass. But yeah, shaved, slammed, I think a 67-68 front, maybe even a different dash altogether?

Re: Chop Tops ???
My votes: Lowered = yes. Slammed = no. Chopped = no.
Only chop I've ever seen that looked "right" to me was this one, the Dale Earnhardt memorial show truck. Have to look twice, just to be sure it was really-really cut, the proportions are so well done. Last edited by 68shortstep; 11-05-2008 at 02:44 PM. |

Re: Chop Tops ???
Another problem with chopped tops is they leak if there not done right. My buddy had his 69 C10 chopped and it leaked like crazy.
