Can someone help me with this?

Think I might get one of you wizards to photo chop the top on this for me 5 inches and lower it 5 inches. I would appreciate it very much.

I am guessing your wheel chocks are about 3" tall..
If so, here is a quick 5" chop and 5" drop
It makes the truck look too long if you ask me

I think the only way too make that look right would be to pie cut the front of the hood so it slopes to the front.

Thanks Blue; That's what I wanted.

dumprat; Your right, I plan on doing the hood, ar maybe run it with out one. Can't find a site the shows how to pie the hood. The hood that is on the truck is not much good, fo I can play with it, and see what I can come up with. Also the back fenders will be moved forward 2 inches, with 14's on the front and 15's on the back.

Maybe photoshop it to see what 3 or 4 looks like. I think it looks too squashed with 5. Regardless of what the TV infomercials tell us, bigger isn't always better.

There is a good one here on RRR. I am looking for it, It is the Great looking Yellow truck and I am grasping for the name right now. It hurts to loose your memory, and your mind too. I'll find it.

Here is a picture of my 48 cab with a 4 inch chop.

I don't know but I like the top. If it had the hood done do you think it would look good. (With the top left at 5)

 

[RUSTY50F1]

Thanks fellas for all the pic. It will either be 4 or 5 inches. I plan to cut the wheel opening and add 2 inches to drop them down over the wheels also.

Here's a quick 3" down in the front on the hood

 

[RUSTY50F1]

Thanks I like it; Think it makes it look not so long. What do ha think?
