too chop or not too chop - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

2-BAD-72 · 07-09-2006, 10:44 PM

I saw this white truck in Atlanta saturday and took a quick snapshot....the door was open when I saw the truck but noone was around.

the chop was SWEEEEET

How liveable is the chop for everyday use?
How do I post 2 pics without exceeding the file size limit???

The escort mirros gotta go IMO.
I think it looks sweet, a fleet bed would probably better suit it, but it's still a kick ass truck.
I would think that for a daily driver, a chop that radical would be a bit too much.
My seats aren't too high off the floor, if they were any lower, I'd have seriouse leg room issues (6 ft tall) and I probably only have 4 inches to the roof, and I'm already ducking to get in.

Maybe we need to post a link to the how to on posting links?

I had to man... I couldn't help it!

crazy longhorn · 07-10-2006, 09:58 AM

My longhorn is wearing a 4" chop top, & @ 5feet 9 inches, it fits me about as tight as I would want

For a daily driver, I would suggest a more conserative chop(say tween 2-3" range). Chops are COOL, & are noticed evrywhere you go

I dont like chop tops on trucks... just dont look right to me

67Fleet · 07-10-2006, 09:44 PM

That chop looks like a fat lady sat on the roof and smooshed it. I say leave the chops for the old merc's.

JAMESCHURCH13 · 07-10-2006, 10:01 PM

Does anyone have a pic of a truck in the weeds and chopped? It looks silly way up and chopped.

That yellow one looks like it has been converted by the ricers, way too low for me.

If your think something channeled, sectioned, and shaved is the definition of ricer... then I think you need to pick up a book on the history of hotrodding roots

What if he comes up to a speed bump? Pothole? Etc... Ouch!
