    Nice truck. If it were mine I would leave it unchopped. You can always chop it later.

    I agree with Hanky...just because I don't think I could drive a chopped A pickup. I was driving a stock 28 RPU last night and I could barely get into it.

    It doesn't matter weather you chop it or channel it, you're still taking room out of it. In fact, channeled takes MORE room out of it

    I'm 6'-5" so I'd only chop it if I still fit. I love the "mild chop" version posted earlier.

    Before you do anything get ahold of Rocky and see if it isn't his old one that was stolen. He'll kick your ass if he finds you messed up his old truck:eek: :D

  24. My vote goes to the no chop side. The full window height balances out the fenders to my eye. It's a bit bottom-heavy with a chop.

    The mild section job looks good, but I really like it the way it is. Definitely yes on the multi-carb setup.

  25. How about this?

    chop seat riser 2", chop top 3", bob bed 3-4". section splash apron and move fenders / running board up 3'' drop the whole truck 3''
