Re: Lower(slam) a Kodiak 4500 Pickup

Nice shop job, but the F-650 is a nicer looking truck

Yeh, Yeh, Yeh, I know it's not a but it's a really sweet truck

I agree, either the F-650 or possilby even the IHC version.

Although I do like the renderings above in the GMC version.

Re: Lower(slam) a Kodiak 4500 Pickup

Thanks XXL for the photoshop. Sorry about the pictures, I know what to do for next time.

The C4500 looks really good slammed!!!! I wonder if it can be done? I know the truck is already air bagged.

The Ford looks cool. I like the cab on Ford though. Ford did a good job of making it look there smaller cab trucks.

Thanks again XXL

What, in particular, did you notice? It's just a company name on a sign.

That's because it is the same cab as the SuperDuty F-250-F-550 line of trucks.

The Chev cab is actually the cabin portion of the Savannah van.

Re: Lower(slam) a Kodiak 4500 Pickup

I just bought a C4500 and I like the look mostly because its different. I was thinking about an air ride setup anyone got any photos or ideas?

Re: Lower(slam) a Kodiak 4500 Pickup

Doesn't slamming it take the functionality out of it?

I wouldn't want one slammed, if it will not longer do it's function.

I have to agree. I am a GM guy, but Ford and Dodge are whipping out better looking designs than GM.

Dodge understands people want the retro looking bodies.
