Hello All, I am a recent F150 owner, and have always owned custom VW's.
I was looking for a change and ran up on my 1984 F150, and absolutely love it.

However I am finding it increasingly hard to find folks with custom 80'-86' F150's. Hoping I could find some inspiration here. This is my first post, and I am happy to have found this great forum.

Enough with the babbling, I will share what I have found. Cheers!



A bit much, but I think it has a killer stance!

Here is my truck:


...and here is what I would like it to look like:




Okay, Lets see 'em!!!

 

Cute - but's what's the deal with Low? I think you'll find most "truckers" are not into low.

 

I happen to like a nicely done "Sport Truck", but it has to be nicely done, not ricely done.

 

Haha I do agree but there are a couple of trucks on here that people have lowered. Most decide to go the other way if they do anything.

 

Don't get me wrong I love a nice lifted ford, Heck I almost purchased a lifted bronco. I don't like custom low to the extreme, however a nice "Street Rod" look gets me every time.

Good Example:

Bad Example:

Well, good be a sick ride. I would loose the wheels, and the candy purple paint job!!!

 

Here's other examples:












The last being mine...oh Brownie

I have yet to do anything drastic...but a lower stance is what I will pursue. You are right...most go up with their trucks...but I think they are look good either way.

I need a good looking set of wheels for the moment.

Joelsdelone...the look you proposed for your truck is funky..."eye like"!!!

 

Mines still in progress, but it sits very low. With car sized tyres and no air in the bags the chassis lies on the ground, but with the regular 235/75/R15s put on it sits about 2 inches off at the lowest point, as you can sort of see in my pic. Engine is back in, but keeping the panels off until the rear end is finished and I can move it to get the custom headers done.

 

Brewtl your gonna have to keep updating pictures on that truck. I remember seeing pictures of it before you started most of your work and I'd like to see how its coming.

 

Here's mine.

 

Did you just photo shop that picture or did you actually lower it??

 

Defintiely chopped, looked at the image under the side step.

Will keep updating my trucks progress for sure, hoping for more pics this week but progress has been slow, diff has been at another shop for narrowing for what seems like a month!

 

sycostang,the next jeepers creepers movie comes to mind looking at that truck.

 

Jeepers Creepers!?! I've seen the first one, but none of the sequels. I was bored and photo chopped my truck. I actually think it looks pretty good lowered, but I'm not aboot to ditch the 4wd to do it.

 

nice image sycostang,but your rear mud flap gives it away.it's lower than the tire.plus nice arch on the top of the garage door.

 

Whoa, I didn't notice how short my garage was. At least my mustang still fits.
