Saw this on Atlanta Craigslist, one of those "ya like it or ya don't" it's certainly an eye catcher.

Is it just me, or is it weird to see people driving a bagged vehicle with one end high enough to cause nose bleed while the other end is draggin'? I've never seen anyone do this except the nose is up and the rear is down. Then, I don't have a bagged truck, so I don't claim to know what it takes to live with it. I do think that a nice cushy ride would be expected. Am I right?

Its a look has nothing to do with ride, I ride with my front up higher than the back in my 97 but not like that I ride with the front tucking a little tire with the rear covering a little rim, but its all for the look, Im not a fan of driving around like this guy is positioned but I see a lot of people do it. As far as what it does to deal with the ride driving in this position is not comfortable, but ride at normal height (low all 4 corners) is actually better than stock if everything is set up correctly.

Thats not a bad price ether. Except for the rims i kind of like it.

how do we know that the roof was not rusted out?
" F^(%ED UP A NICE SHORTBED" is a bit strong since we don't know the entire story.

**SactoJim** · 08-10-2007, 07:02 PM

Yeah.....it's a "look"...so are 28" rims on mid 80's square body sedans!

I appreciate the work and effort that goes into anything, but that's just a "look" I can do without.

MyakkaJeff · 08-10-2007, 07:08 PM

Back in 81 I had a 67 GTO, done right with air shocks and when it was pumped up I thought it looked mean. Nose down and ready to run. NOW, when I look at some old pics, some with the air let out, I think it looked just as BAD. The stance of your ride is your idea of what looks good. Downhill, Uphill, whatever, it's yours.

MyakkaJeff · 08-10-2007, 07:09 PM

Damn I miss that car..........

I like it (your post), is the 80's box sedans and huge wheels the most recockulous thing ever seen I cant stand that, the people that lift an 80's car to put huge rims on it should be shot, and then thrown back to the getto where they came from, but hey whatever floats your boat it is a free country or so they say. The worst thing is I have actually seen people ruin nice old chevelles and camaros by lifting them to fit 24 inch rims it pains me everytime I see it

MyakkaJeff · 08-10-2007, 07:49 PM

I agree on that one Scott. The thought of 24" rims on my GTO- mini PUKE!!

RatPwrd72 · 08-11-2007, 10:20 AM

I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit

raiders3581 · 08-11-2007, 12:03 PM

ive seen worse, not total loss could be saved with couple trips to local salvage yard. as far as the square 80s sedans with the redicoulous rims isnt it just great when the rims are so big they look like if they bottom out the suspension the whole car will stop cause the tire will jam in the wheel well

70c10swb · 08-11-2007, 01:06 PM

I don't see what the big deal is. He just has the rear bags emptied out and front bags aired up for the pic. Like said above its just personal preference. Just how people rather have stock, lowered, lifted, baged, etc. I'm running a suspension drop on mine and not using bags but, i can appreciate the look and work that goes into a baged truck, in fact there are a lot of members on the site with air ride.

With that said, aside from the top of the cab cut off ( i don't care for it personally), can someone explained how the truck was "ruined"?

Brock · 08-11-2007, 01:25 PM

I agree with the "ruined"...Traditionalist I guess

Premium72 · 08-11-2007, 01:27 PM
