63 chevy truck chopped 5"

I've got a shot of it in the background here-

 

I have photos of the chop as it was being done,but I don't have a scanner. I didn't have my digital with me,so we used a throw-away.I had to split it both ways and use an extra roof for filling in.It looked like a jigsaw puzzle at the rear corners to get everything to line up.I'll see what I can do to post em.

 

Just slam it! no chop for me either. just the way it is.

 

how much was that pink thing chopped?

 

8 inches,sectioned 3

 

Can anyone help me out with a source for a windshield? I have a '63 fleetside chopped 3". Getting ready to paint and put back together. Now becomes the time to hunt for a windshield. Any help would be appreciated. This is my first custom creation.

 

i don't feel these trucks need a chop either, especially if it's a lwb. the stock cab hight is in proportion with the truck. i have a '65 and people ask if it's been chopped, but it's only lowered.

 

j g-did they ever find the progress shots of this truck?

Hey Brett,

I've decided the next SFCC is gonna be our first sectioning also. That looks great.

 

How about we get the gravity racer, your Dodge, and My 32 on the road FIRST.

 

Heres mine I just bought from my buddy.. No chop.. Just get the rockers on the ground and the roof height looks good..

 

the ''guy'' that owns that truck is Jimmy Raider, he worked for my grandfather for awile.(that says alot; my grandfather NEVER hired anyone be4 him)
i have seen gene winfield chop a top, and gene is good.
......... Jimmy Raider has the same talent with chops, he has been offered alot of jobs with big names and he refused them all. There is nothing more awesome to me than to see with your own eyes the true meaning of the word ''HUMBLE''
EVERYONE AGREE????
you will see alot more of Jimmy Raiders work, just look in the magazines

 

wow, didnt even know this thread was still active. this truck has now been sectioned 6" i believe. ill get a hold of jimmy here shortly and see what i can find out. this chop was done at my landlords house so ill see what i can come up with. jimmy is a great guy and he's chopping a early 30's dodge truck for my landlord right now.

 

I would love to see some nice clear pics of this truck... especially since I am in the midst of chopping my sectioned 61!

 

ask and you shall recieve....

 

GMP in Santa Cruz did this one last year



There's a slide show of the build on thier site

do a search on 65 chevy chop see what you fine

 

Looks like a super clean build. I'd like to see a side shot of the completed truck.

 

with the section done like that it kinda looks like a 61 ford now.
here is a 6456 done the same way:

 

Looks like a bada** over sized elcamino lol
