I found this picture and thought it was bad ass. What do you guys think?

Super Chevy · 08-12-2002, 05:22 PM

seen the truck before, a very very sweet truck IMO!

Chevy Punk · 08-12-2002, 05:29 PM

That kicks a$$! I'm gonna do that with my next truck

Gary68 · 08-12-2002, 05:34 PM

Is this what happens when someone puts acid in your gas tank and it completely destroys your frame and suspension parts? Can lake pipes be installed in asphalt? Where does the jack attach in case of a flat? This looks like what I would get if I sent my truck to a custom shop to be lifted.

Danny69' · 08-12-2002, 05:40 PM

Humm... Looks like you may have some problems when it comes to speed bumps and inclined driveways..

JHickson6 · 08-12-2002, 06:18 PM

Body Dropped trucks always remind me of Air RideTechnologies Slogan

"Lower it, the common cure for the rollover!"

That's one way to get rid of rusty rockers!!!

*Shane* · 08-12-2002, 07:13 PM

look closely.....that truck has NO rockers....

**BOSS** · 08-12-2002, 07:31 PM

Either that truck has no rockers or it is sitting in wet cement! I think riding the frame rails is a little too extreme for this old boy. I like'em low but that is too much. I like having rockers on my truck...even though they are currently rusted off...LMAO! I guess this a potential solution!

barn9 · 08-12-2002, 11:39 PM

To each his own! Personally, I'd rather have the black and silver model behind it. Slammed trucks look cool, but I want a truck that is usable for something other that a skidplate.

Of course, the yellow slam would make it easier to load up the fat chicks, or so TJ says, he-hee! Mr. Brimley made me say it!

speeddemon · 08-12-2002, 11:47 PM

Do you think he has a contract with the county for scraping dirt roads?

**basketcase** · 08-13-2002, 12:36 AM

Looks like a crawdad crusher to me.

Lippyp · 08-13-2002, 04:45 AM

I see you've found where I store my spare cab and bed, I just tucked the wheels under it to stop 'em being stolen... LOL. Actually I'm lying, it is in fact the new GM hover-truck and will majestically cross water rough ground suspended on a cushion of air! Too low for me.

NSANE68!!! · 08-13-2002, 10:18 AM

JUST RIGHT!!! I seen this truck awhile ago, but love it every time I see it. He has since chopped the top also.:p

I wonder what he does when he hits a dead animal on the highway? He would drag it all the way to where he is going and what a mess it would be.

Take a gander at the '63 on his site as well. Schwing!

**basketcase** · 08-14-2002, 12:54 AM

Is it air bags or hydraulics? Is it also body dropped and isn't that the same as channeling?

Reumster · 08-14-2002, 01:23 AM

I like the looks of it allthough I'd most likely never go that low. I want the proper safety. When the bags are empty, and it's on the bump stops I don't want any thing touching the ground but the tires! LOL

Yeah talk about hitting a dead animal in the road. My Blazer has a 4/6 drop and I hit a dead dear laying in the road, smack dab in the middle of the front bumper! Doing like 75. It scared the crap out of me. The truck I think came off the ground! Needless to say I was pressure washing the undercarraige for quite awhile.

But I think that it's good to see people taking 67-72s and body dropping them than the same old mini truck.

Is the owner of the truck on the board?

Low68 · 08-14-2002, 02:59 AM

Alright, so it doesn't really look like this, but it could. The cab was sitting there so I figured I would have some fun. There isn't a frame under it.

Low68, I see some tape on your A pillar. Are you marking out cut lines for a roof chop or just holding the door shut?
