a rendering of my truck

[dragnlow]

well what do you thing
it's a 76 and i have had it since i was 14 years old and i ready to take it to the next step
it will take a long time but i am doing it all right the first time
it will be on 22's in the front and 24's on the rear
i am going to cut the rocker's off and it will sit on the doors with a 4" body drop

the day i got her

there is the truck as it Set's



and what it will look like

let me know what you think

[82c10]

i think it looks better as it sets

[Low84]

Nice. Get'er done

[Srubydo1986]

cant wait to see the real thing and the read up on how u did it. maybe?

[Rc 415]

Looks a lot like midwestcar's truck...

[xtreme80]

I like it both ways. It looks old school now, which I love, but I'm not one to complain with a truck that lays door.

[87 STEPPER]

That looks great but the tilted frenched license plate thing is out if you want to keep the smooth look go with one of them hidden pop up plate kits.

[Low87]

Gotta agree with Stepper, the only thing I didn't like was the tilted plate.
Other than that, the design looks great. Current setup is nice as well.

[boatpuller]

i like that design,don't care for the license plate either...and if you do go with that drawing..get your wallet out.

[oldraven]

Your truck is so straight. Mine has the same GM colour, but it looks like arse next to that beauty in blue.

[dubdeuce80]

that rendering isn't on the doors!

i agree about the plate, and do you plan on using the 81+ front bumper like the rendering?

[sighlurr]

I can't back the tilted, frenched license plate either. It reminds me of the import trucks from the late 80's.

Keep us posted on the progress!

[dragnlow]

it is just in the planing stage but the plate i don't know on
i kind of like the back one window but a friend has one and it is scratched all the hell
i was thinking of a pop up one "maybe with air"
and i don't know on tail lights the led strip are played out big time and i don't like it to plain in the rear in a big truck it is just to much
that is why i put in the plate and to match my blazer


and the bumper is going to be off of a newer "96 or so" 1500 that i am going to cut to fit and have re chromed
it is just a dream but it will get riped apart soon

[84 400]

The way it sits looks nice to me. I am really not a fan of the big rims. but to each their own. like the drawing too and the Tilted late needs to go i think. the guy at the local upolstry shop has a 95 excab 1500 GMC short bed that is bagged shaved and he had his plate frenched and tilted in the t gate. that lasted a week then it was just frenched and no longer tilted. What ever you do have fun wih it and looks like alotta work. If it were me i would keep it more as it is now but with some paint work and small changes. Thats just me. Have fun with it thats what it is all about

[killthewabbit]

I dig it.

[Hoods69BadBowTie]

I think it looks awesome as is and when it turn outs like that drawing. Defiantly get a build thread up when you start working on it and tons of pictures. Its going to be sick when its done.

[dragnlow]

yea i am good at doing a ton of pic's
i have a ton on my cardomain

[N2TRUX]

The rendering looks awesome. I'm with everyone else on the license plate. I think I would rather have a Lambo door kit instead.

I'm not much on roll pans either. I say leave the rear bumper so you have something to bolt a drag block to.

[84slopwaggin]

The rendering is really cool. It's a custom, so do it up like its drawn up.

[KMK454]

Rendering is neat. License plate is weird. I understand you like it, but it's just one of those things that clashes with the entire vehicle. The truck is essentially a box; having the angled rectangular shape on the rear clashes with the entire flow of the vehicle's lines. Plus, it just screams rice. Ever see that Honda rolling down the street with more money invested in rims and the custom license plate mount than the car is actually worth?

Other than that, the rendering is sweet.

But if you want to be different today, restore it to 100% original.

[dragnlow]

no it was 100% stock "new"
it is time for somthing custom

[mrenj23]

I like it

[stepside454]

I agree on the plate location... rice... rice... rice... Looks like, well thats enough. the main thing is, as long as you like it

[midwestcar]

rendering looks cool...your gonna have to body drop it more than 4 inches to lay. also if you cut rockers you gotta cut the fenders and bed. to run 22 on front with it layed out you have to run a bigggger bag than what you think to. if i was to do it again i do a 20/22 combo

[dragnlow]

i am redoing the frame
because if you cut just 2 1/2" off of the lower frame under the cab it will lay rockers
check out this site http://www.loweredd.com/welcome.html
and then i will just have to body drop about 3"
i have done a body drop on a friends ride and i know it is a pain
but that is what you do for something custom
