79 f100 Bagged w/ 22" twinks????
 

Hey guys,
I just stumbled across your post sight while searching the net for parts for my new(old) truck. i just purchased a '79 F100 with a 351 v-8. It needs some cosmetics, but thats all. I will post some pics in a few days....... i wasnt expecting to find this.
My question to you guys is RAISE OR LOWER????
I am really thinking about bagging it and putting some 22" twinkies on it............ to be different........Im just wondering if any of you guys have seen one done like this or may have a pic of what this would look like????


Thanks,
Scooter:-X01

i have the same truck minor cosmetic needs 351-c. my plan since it a 2wd is to lower/ channel it.i found full fiberglass bodys for about 5g's pretty nice stuff too. my issue is dropping the front i've got a couple of ideas but nothing too solid yet. good luck to you
my project is called f-nuts im trying to get someone to fabricate the lettering to replace the original f-100.

go to www.truckn-store.com
they sell lowered i-beams for your f-100

You didn't say is it a 4x4 f-100 or a 2x4 ?

If its 2x4 put some centerline rims or something on it but dont lower it plz :(

And if its a 4x4 send it up to the sky >:-)

In my opinion these trucks do not look good lowered. They are just too big. These trucks look pretty good at stock height for 2 wheel drives. But if its 4x4 GO UP!!!

What the heck is a "Twinkie?"

Its a cream filled pastry, Gene.

I can't figure out how this guy is going to put them on a truck, and I would like to see some 22" ones :p ;) :eek:

mmmm 22" twinkies...he'd need 4.


matt you take 2 I take 2? yummmm.

Almost forgot the spare...he can have the spare :-X04

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't "twink" also a term for someone of the ,,,,shall we say,,, monogenderism type? That being noted, you guys can have the midget gays :-X10

Oh Im quite sure he was referring to pastries roflmao.

(And if he wasn't...we are :D )

alright...you wanted the spare didn't you grape :)

I'd ask you how you know this stuff GrapeG, but I don't want to know.:eek:

they CAN look good lowered but, only if done right.
i,ve seen two lowered ones that looked good both yellow.
they was lowered about 3'' and the tires are the right size and 15''s

Chado, only if it's the pastry version :D

Gene, spent my share of time walking around The Village in NYC while my girlfriend had classes on Sundays. Mini-vacations for me. Have some great outdoor yardsales in empty lots there on the weekends. Even saw a Dana 60 there once, lmao. As long as they can take No as an answer, I've got no problems with them.

Oh and I've never seen a Good Looking lowered truck, let alone vehicle, period. The only things that should be that close to the ground are ones that are using the lack of airflow to do some serious speed. i.e. formula cars. But that's My opinion :-X10

i agree, i seriously don't think that 22"'s would look good on these trucks..... 16's would be cool.... 17-18's maybe....

there's a few guys here who lower their trucks, but it's not a common thing, i have to agree. i like the look of the stock truck, or one jacked up..

how about a pre-runner kit for it (2wd lift kit) with some nice tube bumpers, and some 33" BF's? then you'd have a nice truck.

I think 22" rims would look awesome. I don't think there are enough lowered trucks of this era. Pretty much everyone at this site frowns on it, but I like them, and if you like them, then that's all that matters!!
