Not a huge fan of that, but there were a few other neat design features. The '59 car dash grafted into that one was kind of cool. A lot of incredible workmanship there. | | | | | Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,086 Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums | | Housekeeping (Moderator) Making a Stovebolt Bed & Paint and Body Shop Forums Joined: May 2015 Posts: 11,086 | Apparently the "slammed" look is in this year.

However, I have had my share of modified trucks and cars 24 years ago I put $90,000 in a 36 Ford super 2 door sedan, custom with a 426 bored over Hemi. 671 blower, way too much chrome and etc. Sold it for $ 89.000. If that is what a person wants to do then by all means DO IT! It after all is good for the owner and far be it from me to stop someone from building there dream, enjoy and you will get looks and good comments. I will not mention the 1946 Chevy 3/4 ton. Could sell it more now than I did after full custom dropped and full house 350. I ruined a very nice US Forestry truck, still a show winner but, has anyone tried to drive on Florida's continuously growing pot hole roads? It has to be trailered everywhere, no fun. It's for sale to anyone that wants to pay the price. I will probably raise it and give to my grandson on his 21st birthday. Oddly he loves one of my pure stock AD's. Not Oddly I do too. I have one nearly done (54-3100), that could bring much more than I have in it 100% stock. Every one should have their dream, many of us have different dreams which have to be met. Love all of you. Doc.

Doc. It's a philosophical issue. I've been in this hobby a long time. I too started out chasing fads. By the time I was done building a truck, the "latest thing" would have changed and my vehicle would be obsolete literally before it was finished. I'm really sick of bagged trucks, and if I am a lot of other people are too. Someday the slammed look will be as antiquated as the white "marshmallow" headrests, "scavenger" exhaust below the rear axle, and tires sticking way out of the fenders - all stuff that you HAD TO HAVE in the 1970s. The only look that lasts is the classic original. Sure, it's doesn't detract to lower it a bit, but the slammed look is just another in a long line of automotive gimmicks I've seen come and go over the years. Ten years from now Classic Trucks magazine will be featuring articles on how to cut out and replace your airbag suspension.

As said here before were not all fan's of "lowered" or "slammed" trucks ( I can just imagine what My Dad would have said) but you do have to admire some of the workmanship and skill (some not "All") used in putting the truck together. I would have liked to seen more L6 engines, even modified, and that from a V8 guy. In the end it still comes down to each owner making the truck to fit their own ideas and keeping these old trucks on the road. Cool video.
