I think he chose the less invasive technique of "tucking". Gumby always did strike me as the reciever, that is until I saw the photos of pokey's procedure.

..... But I'm now ready to confess to the world and the photos unfortunately tell the real story about the so-called "Gumby" reduction.

At last!!!! Here for everyone to see once and for all...."Gumby was never cut down, it was "Pokey" who had the shortening job and he's handing the downsizing well, don't you think?

**special-K** · 09-04-2012, 08:31 PM

Ohhh Pokey...It will be ok (or,will it?)

Just think,this thread would have never come up (this truck would not be shortened) if Rene hadn't been bugging Barcobear for the past 11 years to do it. A guy can only take so much!
Or wait,maybe I'm wrong. Did Richie start this 11 years ago?

That was done last year. Rene waited to start this thread until after it was all done. Remember,he said," S--L--O--W ". More pics to follow soon.

Ask Ritchie if he still hates me.

Square_78 · 09-09-2012, 06:49 AM

So you didnt have to remove the cab to cut the frame? I thought that with the trailing arm suspension, you needed to cut the frame under the cab??

bodydropped68 · 09-18-2012, 10:17 AM

Any updates Rene? Is the truck in paint prison, can't wait to see it all one color.

C/10 King · 09-18-2012, 12:03 PM

No updates, Richie is waiting on the drive shaft, once the smoke clears the truck will be 2 toned blue/white.

**CC69Rat** · 09-18-2012, 02:06 PM

Stock height / wheels? I think it needs bags.

Well Chad, I think bags would be cool too, but not my truck.

My guess is stock height including hub caps with whites, because Mark says he doesn't want his to look to much like mine, mine is ugly I guess.

**CC69Rat** · 09-18-2012, 07:10 PM

Yeah.. horrible man. I can keep it at my house if you want.
