Interesting chop - '67 long step Ebay - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

nosto · 06-18-2002, 04:20 PM

Ad says the top is chopped. Actually cowl? lowered so wipers are lower than hood. Hard to see in this pic, but I think this truck has some neat ideas.

BTW: NFI, just browsing eBay and saw this.....

sweet truck - doesn't look like a long step though...

Alexis · 06-18-2002, 04:54 PM

dont look like a long step to me either. i like the way the have the smooth bumper with that lights, kinda gives it a little more of a sporty look

Smooth68 · 06-18-2002, 05:12 PM

Hmmmm....kind of like these----->

Does anyone know the auction number?

jay-dawg · 06-18-2002, 05:24 PM

I like it. very nice. Interesting monochromatic paint. I wonder what the rear looks like.

Heres what I dont like:
the chop is too much. Maybe a 1-2 inch chop would be good.
Nice idea with the wiper cowl/windshield wipers.
I like the front bumper but I would go without the lights. Maybe put the signals in the front bumper.

I like the mirror.

I like it!!!............................the roll pan is awsome....but i think the light need to be closer together like the drawing......................

nosto · 06-18-2002, 07:05 PM

That would be Item # 1835517379.

When I first looked at this view, those steps looked awful long, but now that I've had another look, maybe not.....

Custom tailgate?? Custom hidden latch. And ghost flames on the front end, too!

jay-dawg · 06-18-2002, 07:12 PM

wow nice backside. i wonder what he did for signals

paintpyro · 06-18-2002, 07:21 PM

Now that is a clean backside, I think it helps tie together a smooth look on the front. Sometimes the stepside beds breakup the looks of the truck if you try and smooth it too much up front

nosto · 06-18-2002, 07:23 PM

Jay-Dawg:
Yup, I've been trying to figure out how to tie a 'sporty' mirror on my '67...this one looks good!

The ad says..."uses original windshield..." I'm still trying to understand how he do that??

The rear lites are ....welll....here.....

paintpyro · 06-18-2002, 07:34 PM

The windshield deal is an old kustoms trick. The windshield will actually be "sunk" beneath the cowl line. This way, the windshield doesnt need cutting, some guys are alot more comfortable going through the extra metalwork than workin the glass. Its not so bad with these trucks, but some old 50s and 60 windshields and rear windows, too much in the way of curves to deal with.

Nice chop, like the mirrors too. Awsome truck!!
