Thought of this when i seen a few pics in some of the old posts around here and thought it be a fun post.

essentially..... post a picture of how low your truck is using a simple coke can (or beer can equivalent) at the lowest spot on your frame. truck must be on a flat surface. post your generation truck, and we'll judge who's the lowest by generation and so on

simple rule however....... your truck MUST be static dropped. bagged guys can hang cus you guys can drop till you drag

let the fun begin

 

game over. i win for 74-78s.


heres the most current picture. ive actually readjusted the front springs a little. and got new slightly smaller tires. so it is about 1/2" lower than that. thats the front crossmemeber.



and for comparison of any style, heres the frame in front of the tranny crossmember. again, before a slight bit more drop.


its this truck, yet again before tweaks and new tires

 

what do i win?!

roof is at about 52-1/2" lol

 

This is a good idea. I'll have to get some pictures later.

 

I cant compete. My sh!t is still up on jack stands lol

 

Just, remove the whole rear end, place it down, place a can under the truck up front, and literally drop the front end on that can. game over static


then have fun getting the truck off the ground lol

 

well mine is proof of all tires on the ground haha. cin, sell me some camera gear then buy an old school truck

 

Talk him into it lol i'll sell him mine.

 

for real. he always says he wants an old one. i did too. so i sold my 92 for $2000 and bought my 78 for $500. then had money to get a stereo, a weber, tune up parts, lowering parts, a header and do my exhaust. so i took my turd, sold it, and made a gem. lol.

now back on topic....post those can pics!

 

Ok i'm just a little embarrassed to post this but what the hell

leaf spring hanger


frame

 

kick the jack stands out from underneath it......... BAM! instant static drop!

^ They call that Happy hour!

 

Im thinkin of just crankin the torsions since its already on the stands. But we shall see. i may be updating soon..

 

My front crossmember is pretty low too; I'll try and get a picture tomorrow.

was intercepted on my way out the door from work by a very shapely slightly older woman in need of assistance with a mirror.......

 

like a "do i look fat in these pants" mirror? or a "hey, you got a mirror and a straw?" kinda mirror? lmao
