    I think you went a little too low, you'll never drive it like that!! :D
     
  3. I agree it's pretty low. I could never get away with that where I live. It's hilly in Seattle.

    judging by the master cylinder and wheels, i would say its bagged on an s10 frame, looks good.
     
  9. how do the Master cylinder and wheels tell you it's bagged? I would agree on the s-10 frame. I wonder if in the first picture if it has an engine in it. It would be sweet if it is bagged, but it's just to low to be usable without scrapping on everything around here.

    to me, trucks go up in the rear, not down.

  14. I take it the first pic is at full drop at the rear? The front looks OK though.
    As the other guys said, you would tear the ass out it on the roads here too !
    Nice truck though......

    I hope you have small dogs in your neighborhood.
    A big one might just miss your rear tire and piss in the back of your truck.
     
  21. That's what they call "layin' frame"! Show us what it looks like at ride height. I love fat fendered trucks. Late 40's or early 50's because of the split windshield? Engine?

    im assuming once you get the motor & tranny in it will drop the front level or lower than the rear, if not you can add some spindles... looks good so far. what wheels are you planning on running ?

    Just throw some wires on it and a windshield visor and BAM ! you have a bomb. You may need to put some slick paint on it too.

    The bag job looks fine!! With bags you should be able to make everybody happy, up in back, down in back, down all over, you get it. Your look at the touch of a magic button. Keep on the build it is lookin mighty sweet. ~Sololobo~
