I must be the only redneck in here.....I like the truck better with the convo pro's!!!

JohnC · 08-11-2009, 03:26 PM

I like the new wheels on it. I'm not much on the pro street look personally, but it looks awesome.

*78 Chevyrado* · 08-11-2009, 03:36 PM

Why would anyone want to lower a truck anyway?

J/K couldn't resist.

I like em all though, I like at least some of all trucks, whether lowered, raised or stock. then again there are trucks in all those catagories that look like crap too. I used to want my 77 lowered but never got to it, kept my 87 stock and lifted my 78 some.

Besides who wants to haul it down the dragstrip in something with enough air underneath it to get lift-off

The square lights are ok with me since it was from that year model, but to have the bent grill bars in the lower left corner for a magazine shoot?? come on....

Gah…I get so friggin’ tired of those types of comments.

hahahah idk man i dont think he looks around here much cause almost all of the square bodies on the forum are lowered or slammed lol

Orange77 · 08-11-2009, 04:45 PM

interior is sick its what i wanna do to mine. how hard do you think it is to put a floor shifter in

DubDubU · 08-11-2009, 05:01 PM

The grill bars aren't bent. That's just an illusion from the crooked headlight. j/k

That truck is SAAAAHHHHHWEEEEEEEEET

**N2TRUX** · 08-11-2009, 10:28 PM

Those bars get bent really easy. You would be amazed at how many I see in mags that are worse than that. It's one of my pet peeves.

Regardless of his bent bars, it is a really nice truck.

I agree. It's a great looking truck.

Oh, I totally agree that truck is nice. I was not trying to take anything away from it. I just noticed it when reading the post about too many square lights on the front.

I thought the truck was cool when I saw it with the old convo pros on it. The truck is now outstanding with the new look.

andrewmp6 · 08-13-2009, 05:54 AM

Its a nice driven truck its not a show only truck which means tiny things can be wrong and still look good.If it was mine i would change small things on it.

454HO · 08-13-2009, 10:20 AM

This is a really nice truck, no doubt. But it my opinion the front of the truck has way to much bling going on. It does not match the simple and subtle looking shaved rear and sides at all. If you got rid of that bent up tube grill and put a color matched OEM grill on it, and put a simple roll pan in place of the front bumper, it would be darn near perfect.

78BO · 08-13-2009, 12:16 PM

While it's a great looking truck and I would never turn it down if given to me, I wander why someone would put so much time and money in it and not put a A/C in it! I though I saw he was from TX, you'd think he would know better. If he was a yankie I'd understand.

I'm gathering parts to lower my 2004 Z71
