curiosity killin me, bobber trucks using 60's and 70's cabs

One common trait of the ones that look good, is they're
narrowed!! LOTS of work in that!!

Not that much more work beyond a chop and floor. That leaves the cab back and cowl. The biggest hurdle in my view is figuring out the windshield - and me, I'd split it and use flat glass.

I've been harboring these pics for a while 'cuz I didn't want to burst Tripper's bubble. Sorry BoB, I guess the kat's out of the bag again...

Normally I don't much care for anything newer than 40s in a fenderless ride but finding something cool to do with the ugliest chevy pickup hood ever, well I'm on board on these two.
That S10 gives me convulsions.

Ive been out measuring my supercab...
Looks like i can chop 14" out of the center and still fit it on a 38 inch frame
O and i wouldn't need a huge tranny tunnel if the mill sat far enough foreward
maybe I don't need a 38 chevy cab after all....

The Early 60's Chevy I can understand. They have some crazy curves.
The s10....sort of.

But the Ford and Dodge bodies of that era just don't do anything for me.

I'd rather see a 50's 60's car body cut down than a Ford or Dodge cab.

You know what would have made that old chevy cab look even better.

If they had kept the wrap around 60-63 windshield, and split it down the middle to accomodate the narrowed body.

Not a big fan of the radically sloped down roofs either.
