Well Limey That is the right thing to do with a truck like that! Klaus Hey say Hi to John Wicks from me!!
Klaus i'll pass your message on as i speak to him quite often. The picture i have has John's T behind yours & Jims RPU behind that....cool pic!
Very nice work indeed chaps. Most people don't realize that it's harder to chop a pick up truck than it is a regular sedan. It looks like you fellas did it with the minimum amount of sectioning. I can't wait to see it finished.
Looks great, Tech O'Matic for sure. Thanks for posting your pics, I've been considering doing this to one of my trucks at some point. Looked at a lot of them last summer and 3" seems about right (for a 6"2' Guy in my case). Mongo
Hats off to a great tech post. Thanks for taking the time to take all the pictures etc. People don't realize how much work is involved in a good tech article.
Thanks again guys & yeah it almost took just as long to post the whole thing up here as it did to do the chop!! There's still more to come as we'll have all day next tuesday on it, hopefully get the hammer welding sorted & make a start on the doors.
I've just found all the pics that i lost & managed to put them back on this old post from last year, i thought some of you new guys & others that may have missed it would like to see it. Also here are some pics of the finished job as i never got round to posting them. Kev
Very nice work guys, almost makes me want to own a CHEBBY...... GULP, DID I REALLY SAY THAT????? MINE WOULD HAVE TO BE FORD POWERED!!!!!!! LOOK OUT.... DODGE THAT BULLET!!!!!
Man, that's a great looking truck. Nice job on the chop. What front suspension is under that thing? Chris
I saw this truck at the Drags or Nostalgias earlier this year looks like it should used n abused just like my 51 Chev pickup
Front suspension is out of a mk2 Jag, Mad Dog needs to set it up a little better as it scrubbs tires out pretty quick, his money i guess! but in general it was a good choice or more to the point it was the right price at the right time. Kev.
Looks great. Just the right amount of chop IMO. What does & mean? Some sort of Hot Rod term not known to colonists?
I don't have a clue but i've seen it come up on other archived posts, it should just say "&" but somewhere along the way it picks up the other bit! Kev.
Hi Kev ,Pics look good, i didnt know you had it in you. PS hope you used that flymo in the chop top process
I can't believe nobody noticed or mentioned that in Post #18 pic #3, Limey's buddy is hanging from the rafters in the background showing his ass. Great work on that chop. Looks clean!
Hey, I give, how do ya get an MOT. on a truck like that in the U.K.? Great chop, great line as well. Swankey Devils C.C.
You guys really make that chop top look simple but I would LOVE to see a hood being pie cut from a 47-53 Chevy truck..... Anybody have any pictures?? BG
