Post by: s75chevys on November 30, 2007, 12:00:04 pm

i have a question dose no one here like lowerd? i mean my ideal start was between 2 trucks, my dads and the one i think chip foose did  and every thing after was just something i had to run with but it has a intake all done up cater carb, headmen headers, i made the 2 1/2 exhaust with a duel flowmaster, um...GEAR DRIVEN!! new stronger break booster,lowerd about 5-7 i think  only thing left is to bag or to c notch the back... painted and body work done by my father and i ! steal cowl hood. and custom roll pan i picked up off a guy i knew that made them, gaylord tono ,slotted tailgate and just put in seats out of a back row excursion for the arm rest.sound system done done big 2 12 kickers ported into the bed to the cab ,2 kicker 6x9's,and  2 kicker amps one 800 pushing the subs and another 350 pushing the speakers..  anything else i cant think off but tell me whats up? an more ideas?

I think your truck is a lot nicer than the other one you posted there. As far as your lowering goes I would bring the back down a bit more but other than that it looks great!

Foose had nothing to do with the one above.  It was built by Todd Emmons.

As for lowered, I love 'em lowered.  BTW sweet truck you have.  I would drop the rear a little more if it was mine too.

Yes I like the lowered look, but not too much.  What I don't like is trucks that are not done right that are bouncing down the road with little bitty tires on wide rims that stick out 6 inches beyond the fenders.  Yours is about is low as I like.  I would never consider lowering mine.  I use my trucks as trucks plus finances restrict a lot of what I am able to do.  I just prefer the stock look and height of a clean plain Jane with nice tires that fill up the wheel wells.  Shaving things look cool but again, I need my mirrors.  Just call me old fashioned or just old.  My $.02 that didn't cost anything.

Your truck is nice.  I like that stance, but I agree it could be lowered a bit more in the back.  I like that SS on the grille.  I bought newer SS badges(like from the Trailblazer SS and Silvy SS), but I'm not gonna put them on until I see how the truck runs.

Hi all, new to the site. Your truck looks killer! I like lowered, here is one of mine.

yea man, you need to do a shackle flip in the rear...that'll get ya down a few more inches.  you can also relocate the spring perches (an axle flip) and get even lower.  there ARE alternatives...

Hey I'm in Hayward, Ca!  I love the red with the rally stripes!

Are you going to take yours to Goodguys in March?

I have not taken a photo of my 78 C10 Stepside.  I just got a week ago from craigslist. 

It too is slammed.  I will take photos of it tomorrow.
