Chop Tops ???

[Peter82]

My name is Ben and i am sure some of you have seen these pics before but i was wondering what everyone thought of a truck choped and slammed like this pic?

[67ChevyRedneck]

Slammed = ...ok

Chop = no

[bowtieboy93]

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

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...

choping in my opinion is for the out doorsman or the braves.

[kelsfine69]

Love them 4 inch chop lay the pillers back and drop the truck., Looks hot

[chevy29267truck]

i dont like chop chevy trucks at all if you want too chop a truck go and chop a ford truck ok ford trucks&choping sucks

[Longhorn Man]

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. (talkin about the one in this reply)

[stunna]

chop is not really needed on these trucks, just drop it

[Sport/Truck]

I vote for Lowering.
Vote no for chopping.

UGLY for chop top!!!!!!

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!!

Was that the one that had a ton of other body mods too? Like the hood was cut, and only the "top" opened, etc? Completely shaved, slammed, etc?

[glock35ipsc]

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?

I have only seen 1 chop EVER that I liked...several drops though.

Here's the chop:

Oh, oh, THAT'S THE ONE!!!! Thanks for that link, I'm saving that one on paper and putting it in my truck file!!

[6971Chevy]

Drop it.
Do not chop it!

[cdowns]

saw this at the doctors office this morning//no i'm not a fan of chopped pickups// i do like the look of that silver one

[glock35ipsc]

Yuck!

[Mike J]

I dont like 'em either, but that silver one does look ok

I think chopped tops only belong on old rods and sleds...

[68shortstep]

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.

[chrislehr]

And dont you dare make the doors open that way.

[PanelDeland]

I like being able to sit up straight but hey it's your truck.

[piecesparts]

I know, I know It looks like it is pink---that WILL change someday. 3" chop and smoothed.

[Heavy Evy]

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.
