This has to be the worst chopped top ever.http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevr...spagenameZWDVW

70GMCer · 08-30-2007, 06:12 PM

That was chopped that way for the "Wind Tunnel" test....or too much

No need for the drip rails up front. rain doesnt roll uphill

see ten · 08-30-2007, 06:38 PM

He's got some interesting flares molded on there. I kinda like em!

Select · 08-30-2007, 06:48 PM

That really hurts to look at. All I can say is why? Mikey

1LoC10 · 08-30-2007, 06:58 PM

is it lower in the back, and lower on the drivers side

1LoC10 · 08-30-2007, 06:59 PM

What's with that bar-b-que grill/gas tank in the bed???

Rokcrln · 08-30-2007, 09:13 PM

It sure does look like the drivers rear corner is just a bit lower than the passenger side!

Well. It certainly is different.

67chevemall · 08-30-2007, 10:10 PM

Hillbilly Deluxe for sure! To each their own I guess, but if your gonna put your pride-n-joy out there for the world to see and try to talk it up for a sucka' to come along and buy it.....at least learn how to spell transmission and CRAGAR.....it's probably embossed or printed on the GD center cap for pete's sake!

I like the color though!

**Bob B.** · 08-31-2007, 03:59 AM

Measure twice, cut once....... Hey, maybe the builder wanted to do it that way.

bad6772 · 08-31-2007, 06:30 AM

its sad to see this, IMO i wouldnt ever do anything like that, and chopping a top,im glad its hard and not for the faint ,,,,, too bad its this guys (BABY) and im shure he gets lots of compliments,,,, just one more for my not to do scrap book

OLDIRON69 · 08-31-2007, 08:41 AM

If it could be had cheap enough, the rest of the truck looks okay. I say buy it and do a cab swap!

aaronfab · 08-31-2007, 09:06 AM

I've actually seen another chop job that look's very similar and it was done by a "professional" body shop. I think what has happened is they used the measurement from what they removed from the rear and measured the A-pilar at it's angle rather than vertically. Poor truck.
