first look of my 55

rolled it out side for the the first look
what do you think
its my first build and i am building out of my brain

 

thats a cool truck, i dig it

 

Lamont's building a lowrider???

Looks good...you big dummy!!!

 

I think you should install a frame under it.
Don't mix neo-2000 themes with traditional ideas.
It's like a great looking 40 year old wearing "****-me" shoes and a halter top.

 

I have to agree, it's a little too low. And Sanford drove an F1, not F100.

 

little air in it brings it up real nice

 

Ha Ha, yeah I know...theirs' was a 52...but I still think of Fred and Lamont everytime I see a faded red 50s Ford pick-up!!

 

It'll look good aired up a bit. You have the luxury of bringing it up (or down) to whatever height YOU want.

I think it's impressive for your first build.

Hey Petejoe. Which is traditional? The 40 year old or the pumps/halter top?

 

Spoken like a true Ohioan.

 

You should think about lowerin it a bit.

 

Looks cool

 

That just about sums up half my **** fantasies right there.
Nice job for sure. Those trucks look GREAT with their front end eating the pavement.

 

its a little to low for my taste

 

I think that some rubber stops on the rear end would give it the proper stance. Raise the back up a few inches and your golden!!!!

 

It needs a bail of hay.

 

Where the hell is she, I like young chicks.

Looks ok, one thing that most of us forget is that laying frame is cool but most trad cars didn't have bags so it falls into a gray area when it comes to being correct or not.

That said you won't be driveing it that low unless you pop all your bags so I figure it'll be pretty sweet rollin down the road. They all look better in motion than parked as far as I'm concerned.

Keep wrenchin' and don't let a single one of us sway you, build it like you like and let the chips fall where they may.

 

Thanks for the kind words i am building it my way
the bed is just setting on it now and the rear bags are not on it but i put them on it before i could push it back in the garage

 

Is it just me or does the front of the bed need a few more shims? Nice looking body on it thou.
And why is the guy ******* on the fence?

 

beds just setting on it and the rear of it needs to come down some but the running board
holes line up

the ******* on the fince is petting my dogs

 

jd55f100,

Personally I dig your truck. I'm a fan of the lowered look. Some people here have even used bags on 30's & 40's traditional & custom vehicles....(say it aint so).....

Anyone that bring back to life a vintage vehicle is A-OK in my book.

As you can tell, by now, you opened the door when you asked "what do you think?"

Build it your way, drive it, enjoy it & **** the critics.....in the end YOUR the only one that needs to like it.

Paco

 

jd55 it's yours do it your way. I like it... Looking good.

 

haha, exactly.

 

Hey,
I've seen some 40 y.o. women in "**** ME SHOES" and halter tops that would knock your socks off.
