Drop my truck.... Photoshop style...

[zman]

Trying to figure out how far to drop my truck now that I have the new bed on. Also any ideas for scallops or such are appreciated.

[TINGLER]

Wow, Zman....LOOOKIN' GOOD!

A little lower will make that ride killer.

[zman]

That's what I'm thinking. I can get about 2" or 3" in the
front by removing leafs and do the rear with either shackles or a combo of removing some leaves (don't want to kill the hauling capacity). I was also thinking wide whites maybe or at least turning those damn white letters inside...

Several years ago there was a 59 shorty identical to yours. One of my club members bought it and SLAMMED it with a nova sub and a rear frame kick. He painted it green and put a little "Froggy" name on the tailgate. It was killer! Those things look best right on-the-ground...

[TINGLER]

Zman,

I don't know a lot about it, and have yet to drop mine at all.....
(hell, I'm gonna get a 3" drop just by changing out the 19" wheels)

But, from what I understand, a person can get a good 3" out of removing leafs in the front. Also, those MONO leaf set ups look pretty enticing as well. But they come with about a $300 price tag. I know El Polacko (sp?) on here can put a drop in your axle as well. (correct me if I'm wrong).

The rear....? I dunno. I'm not going to drop mine any in the rear....YEHAWWW. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hey man I just noticed the KEGS.....Need any help with lowering that thing? hint hint... http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Couldn't resist!!!

[zman]

Hmmm.. a keg hauler. Yeah I got a few kegs lying around. Sorry they're all empty. I used to own a bar and when I shut it down I kept a couple of the empties. Thought they might come in handy.

[Sancho]

I think low is good, but not insanely low....I also like the rake you got goin on

[TINGLER]

Zman,
Here is my lame assed attempt.
Hopefully somebody can fix you up better than this....

[Munson]

That thing got a stovebolt or an 8?

I like it!!

[porknbeaner]

I'm still tryin' to figure this out. I like sancho's drop.
Give these a shot?

[Donzie]

Have you ever considered drag racing?

[bigron]

how about flat black,flames, the red wheels and wide whites?
you know the look that's been beatin into the ground. ....i like it though! lol!

[caddyman65]

I think i like the black w/ the aqua scallops best.maybe some astros and skinny whites

[zman]

Thanks guys. I'm not gonna bag it, just a little lower than it is. It's my daily and shop truck so I'm trying to keep it simple. Probably gonna go with some other wheel, I only put the discs on there to cover up the ugly ass wagon wheels. I think the blue metalflake is growing on me and hopefully I can find the trim for the bed. Maybe some scallops ala VonTingler at some point. But I definately thing she'll get dropped real soon.... Maybe this weekend...

[Fat Hack]

Here ya go...sweet & subtle...

[Munson]

ZMan,
I have a set of mono's on the front of mine and the rear hasn't been lowered yet. My plan is to evenout the rocker when I do lower the backend.
This will give you a real life idea of of what lowering the front 3-4in looks like.

Longbeds vs. Shorties, the battle of size lives!!!
In the locker room I gotcha beat! HAHA

You have a headstart on me with the good looking paint.

[zman]

The paint is only good from a distance. I shot the bed the other night just so it would match. I still have to rub it out. I tried to make sure I got it on straight the first time.
Personally I dig the shortbeds as I don't haul many fat chicks around.....

[subrock]

quickie

[choprods]

those trucks are easy to chop[3"]......Hey Zman what happened to the 39grille me an you were dealin on?

[REIGNSoner]

[Munson]

THATS ONE OF THE BEST "SUBTLE" SCALLOPE JOBS I'VE SEEN!
BEAUTIFUL REIGNSONER

[REIGNSoner]

Thanks brother...

[zman]

Most excellent job, I may have to do some scallops like that. Though the chop may not happen. I keep looking at the pic though and it's growing on me. Hmmm....

[Flipper]

Really low in basic blue
