Ok so for a guy with really slow internet it took 20 minutes but this was a pretty good read!!! That is cool stuff. So now someone want to paint the beast?

I am thinking a maroon if that is possible

Messin' around with photoshop to lower. Never thought to use photoshop or gimp for lowering till I saw this thread. Thanks for the ideas. If you take your time it looks pretty real when you change the ride hight. The first pic is the original. Which ride hight do like the best?

I guess i'll put this here, cause I don't know where else to put it.
Got bored so I decided to see what a modern Bronco would look like based off a newer F-150 so I used the first photo to make my own Bronco concept, and I used photoshop to do so. I think its kinda neat lookin', what do you think.

1967AceStroker, I like photo #2 ( photochop #1) I think that one is the best IMO.. photo # 3 is pretty good also but I think you would need some narrower tires.

I also like the "bronco"

But I must have wide rear tires, if I do decide to lower it i'll just have to get a different offset so I can keep the wide rears.

that photo shop lowering looks cool. i never had much luck with it. i had to cut up my truck and hope for the best to make it sit that low.
