39 Chevy Truck Finally Chopped

[rainbow lungs]

So me and the IRON CHEF (my buddy Denny) chopped my 39 this past week.
We cut 3" out. Left the rear window the original size and laid back the pillars.
Also installed some bucket seats using the LAKE RAT designed swivel.
Here are a bunch of pics. Bare with me, I took pics of the build. When I went to download is when I notice the camera was screwed up. Used a different one to complete build. You'll see when pics change.

Thanks Lungs

Added some bucket seats with the LAKE RAT designed swivel.
To avoid metal on metal when swiveling, we used a cheap cutting board to make a plastic gasket. It's white at where base meets seat.

I like the chop too, on the swivel thing, don't they make swivel bases for boats?

 

[rainbow lungs]

Thanks for the comments.

Yes they make swivel bases for boats......... but buying and making are two completely different things.

With a RAT you make or use what you have!

With a pretty boy car you buy!

These I had a boat pedestal and we cut it in half then we made the mount.

Chop looks real good! I'm gonna be honest, your bed looks out of line with the beltline of the cab.

I agree, the chop looks great. Just bring the back of the bead up about an inch and a half.

Chop was a great move on the truck.

Sam and Bonehead I never noticed that. In the after pic the front of bed looks about 1" higher than the rear.

Thanks Lungs
