Truck project not too Low.

Some of you guys may know Kustom Kemps of America's Bill Moore.
Check out his new project, do you think it might be too Low?
Bill is defintely old school, his truck is not bagged it drives this way. Enjoy the pics..

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

Thats pretty low in the front for not being bagged. I like it.

 

To give you an idea how low the truck is, Bill is not 6'5" he is about 5'7"
The truck doesn't drag the frame until he has a p***enger.
I told him don't commit a sin and raise it just drive solo......

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

Then he hits a pot hole or speed bump..

POW, there goes the front end...not to mention, crossmember, oil pan etc...

 

yeah, looks good, so how did he lower it then?

 

considering how high the motor is in the second pic....my guess is that it has been channeled. .....or if you read the truck mags...body dropped.

 

What is too low? It doesn't compute.

 

Hey it looks alwright I just got done lowering my 66 chevy pickup this weekend and last weekend I ground some wide whites for it. I'll try and get a picture up of it.

 

yah... the ground is to high.....

 

ahh, it's fine. my buddy did exactly the same thing with his '77 suburban. didn't drag unless we were both in it, but hey, those a-arms were way too thick anyhow





no such thing as too low.
tred.

 

It's too low. I'd be afraid to get it over 30 mph, but maybe your roads are better than ours. Around here it would be undriveable. I guess it would be ok for a fairgrounds only cruiser.

 

How did he lower it I just relized that had twin I beam front suspension. Droped Ibeams or did he subframe it? Just curious one of my friends has one of those trucks and he wants to lower it but the Ibeams are really expensive.

 

Hey guys,

I don't know how he lowered the truck. I'm supposed to talk
to him tomorrow and I'll let ya know the details.

Happy Trails,

Mick

 

Let me guess-- z'd frame in the front AND a channel?

 

Rocky had a shortbox Ford that sat like that. Hell EVERYTHING ROCKY owned sits like that!

 

The front is about 2 inches too low,and the back is 2 inches too high.

 

You can never go too low Although that would be a pain to drive...

 

I like it. Although I would like it on "bags" better. Bags are "old school" Firestone debuted them back in 1933.

 

bags are for hippys...

 

I like it! I wonder, will this thread get the responses this on did:

I hope you and your buddy get treated better than V8. Somehow I think you will. I do like it. I had a truck just like it when I turned 16. Dad wouldn't let me hack at it though!

 

you could drive over it with a tank and get it even lower, no? to each his own.......

 

I'd really like to see a pic of your 66...

sounds nice.

LOOKS NICE TOO...
just found your other post. Cool truck.
Your boss is our of his tree. Looks good to me.

 

Mick,
I knew there was something strange about Bill the first time I met him!,,,,can't say too much about being TOO low,,,he just needs to get a couple more lowering blocks in the rear springs....that would be low.

It can never be to low! Heres mine, no bags and no problems . Satin

 

I like the delivery Satinblack. I got a 51 delivery waiting for it's turn to be loved. what suspension is underneath? Here's some pics of my DAily driver. I not ot's not traditional but My new project and soon to be daily is a 63 chevy longbed that sits the same. Be ready this summer.

 

I have a mustII up front with mono leafs in the rear with early camaro rear. Sweet ride, I like the suicides. Satin

 

I think I'm gonna put mine on a s10 ch***is like So-What does. Bigger rear end though cause of the weight and I'll probably put a mild motor in it. Thinkin of sectioning the roof above the drip rails but yours and another I've seen look fine w/out it so I don't know. Wife go's back to work in a year and I can buy something new so I'm tryin to talk her into getting the loan to let me ground-up build the panel instead. Wish me luck.

 

Ding, ding, ding!!!

He WINS the prize for the "lowest red '72 Ford F-100 Longbed with fake snap on spun aluminum wheel disks and thin whitewalls"!!!

Sam.

 

Mmmm... Love it!

I'd say... Get rid of the chrome trim and call it done!!

 

Dammit Mick, now you've got me eyeing my '78 F150 again. Stop it!, or I will never get anything done.
