JUST NOTICED HE HAS A ROLL PAN AND A BUMPER ON THE REAR. I SURE WISH THAT TRUCK WAS CLOSER TO ME.
COULD SPEND HOURS LOOKING AT IT AND FIND COOL STUFF AT EVERY ANGLE

My gosh I love that truck. The mods are endless. Did anyone notice the GT F100 graphic on the lower doors? I don't think I could see that truck in person as I would probably drool all over it.
69 SWB, 71 LWB with 351C, 72 LWB with rust

you go Marz!!! coys will be killer on that road grader you gotmarz68 wrote:I read somewere that the bump spear was made sharper and that the back of the cab was tilted forward just a tad.
Can't wait for mine to get done. I'm saving some money to get me some coy's
the money that was spent on the silver truck would probably finish mine twice over

Re: bumps with lowerd altitude!! (pics please)
Found some older pics of the "Bump" on that beautiful Silver truck.
They're definitely tweaked. I LIKE IT!.
I agree with TD regarding the smoothed front bumper...Slicker than Owl Poop on a linoleum floor!
I've also been thinking about replacing the stock rear bumper with a modified FRONT bumper....So It would WRAP AROUND like it does in the front.
Then go a step further & use a rolled pan (like this guy did) to fill in the VOID!
I LOVE this truck In spite of the QUANTITY & QUALITY of Custom body work on this truck, (which is on par with the most radical Lead Sleds or Street Rods), these mods are all very SUBLE in design & merely accentuate & refine the original design without making it (what I would consider) a "Radical" Custom.....Even WE have to study it to see all the custom work!
BRAVO!

Re: bumps with lowerd altitude!! (pics please)
got a bumper today.looks just like the one on the back of the silver one above.the sides do need to be cut off to be flat on the back side but it will work.
it was of a 84 van. the front on the other hand is not so easy. the front,i think is two bumpers cut up to make one.cut the center out of one and replaced it with the side of another to make one
i will have to start a project post soon

That silver truck looks like it has a modified 67-72 chevy rear bumper. The one on my '69 C10 looks just like that. JMO

Re: bumps with lowerd altitude!! (pics please)
thanks guys, a lot of my inspiration i take from guys like you , and trucks like yours. marz you are the sultan of slam, the lord of laying rocker and the T-rex of tuckin' dubs. and td your wheel & tire combo is perfect for a shorty bump.
those are the same dodge ram wheels from the old daily driver http://www.fordification.com/forum/view ... 795#p89197 after passin' away due to chevy carcinoma (rust) last year i transfer the whole drive train and suspension into the crew. luckily she signed the organ donor waiver

Re: bumps with lowerd altitude!! (pics please)
I've never seen those wheels before; what size are they? Did they come on newer rams? They look great on your truck! Very "utilitarian", but still custom at the same time.
BTW You should post a pic of your crew over in the "official crew cabs pic thread"...
