Thats gross. These trucks don't look good at all chopped. Maybe an inch so you could barely tell.

I like the over all feel of the front end, I'm not really diggen' on the grill, but good God the chop on that thing. Why not just buy a mid 80 elco and chop it

I really like how they...nah,no I don`t.
It has the heavy duty firewall.The diamond tread help prevent slipping when you walk on it.More like it`s covering the rusted cowl.I saw the a-pillar in the interior shot and braced or what was to follow. It`s hard to get your labor out of a truck.Looks like he wants it back.

Re: Discuss......
Is that a Chrysler Imperial front end? No thanks, IMO if you build a truck to fiy YOUR vision then you should keep it. That's going to be a tough sell.

I have more respect for the stock looks apparently than him. Guess the driver should be limited to persons under 5.2. I would have to drive something like that with my head out the drivers door for sure.
