Anyone have pics of 36 Chevy trucks chopped?

Plowboy,

Click on my links below and you can check out my 38. I considered leaning the posts but, I'm putting the filler in the roof because it was going to be a chore to lay the posts back with a 5" chop. The problem lies with leaning the bottom sealing edge of the windshield with the posts. To do it right, more than the posts have to tilt. The windsheld seal across the cowl needs to be realigned and the top edge across the brow needs to kick forward so that the windshield doesnt get a slight Z in it that would make gl*** work tough. I narrowed my cab 4" also, so I've already welded across the roof once. I'll gladly do that again for the filler instead of all the alignment issues I saw when I was mocking it up.

 

Here's some pics of my '37 project. I did not want to cut the roof, but as scotty described the windshield fitment would have been a big problem if the posts were laid back that far. I took 4 1/2" out in the front and 5 1/2" out in the rear, because I did not like the way the window openings were slanted with an even chop.

 

That is a tough call but it looks killer stock height becasue so many are chopping the truck cabs.... Either way it will be unque in a "Plowboy kinda way"

 

That looks bad-*** with the hood and no fenders. Post #17.

 

Plowboy, Man this truck looks good as is-in this pic. How the hell are you going to drive it if its chopped. Your not a big guy but your short either...now its about comfort...Don't chop it and I would like to see you in *******..later

 

Swede, actually I have about 6 inches or so over my head in this. I was thinking 3 inches out of the top and I still have 3 inches of head room then.

Perhaps I need a video of myself dancing in pretty pink *******. Would that be gay?

 

Yah.. Talk to tingler about filming it he'll put it on utube?

I know you want to chop.. But think about this ?
you can put more stuff in the cab parts.etc..and if you like tall girls.. your set!

 

Here's raked, chopped and I tried to pancake the roof some

 

Wow I am just as undecided now as when I started this post. I guess I'll just have to finish up the bed, roll it outside and take a gander at it.

I know I don't like the severe chop with the windshield layed back, but the mild chop with the A pillars leaned doesn't look too bad.

And for the record Swede, this truck is stupid low. Ha Ha Ha

 

i think it would look pretty cool. maybe not get too carried away. 3-4 inches max and definately lean the pilars. thats my opinion, don't say i never did ya any favors. ; )

 

heres my 41

 

You answered your own question.....it seems...

Don't chop it!

 

I know I don't like the severe chop with the windshield layed back, but the mild chop with the A pillars leaned doesn't look too bad.

Yeah, I did get carried away! That was a real qucikie during lunch, I still think it would look better pancaked some. my .002

Either way I like your truck!

 

You pencilchoppers[TM] Kill me.....
Chop the mother****er.
Only Pussies wear pink ******* and drive "big bird"....tall *** trucks

 

Hey, that's me standing by that ugly SOB!

I like the pink *******.

 

Aaron is CHOPAPHOBIC (TM)

 

That doesn't mean much coming from someone with a stock bodied 36. Why don't you chop yours? Ha Ha Ha

 

Tehehehehehe .....He is leanin that way, boys!
reachin' for his saw......

 

Plowboy, glad you started this thread, having just such a basket case, I've been searching for the same images.

You really nailed the stance, and although those late '36 "low cab"s look great w/fenders, I think a bit of a chop would be the crowning touch, even more than 2" maybe. Hell, the early lakes racers leaned the windscreen way back(Pierson bro's),,,,,,,,,,,,,,

anyway, do what you like, we know it'll be awesome!..........LEE

 

That's what the '35 is for. Barely legal!

 

See Chad, you are so afraid that you have to get a whole 'nother car. Ha Ha ha

 

here are some pics of my 36 chopped, layed back the posts. worked really good.
