"stock" bobber

[schwenk industries]

Has anybody ever made a "stock" bobber. this is kind of what I was thinking when I said stock. I was thinking I could be a cool project.

Kind of like the WWII chevy G506 cargo

i think wreckerman may have something like that

 

[Tlauden]

You mean stock as in only droping one of the rear axles? no other mod's? looks like a good idea

 

[Maverick1701]

IIRC there are several on here...or maybe several people who are wanting to do it.
It looks like an interesting idea..

Would it look silly being so long with a single rear end????

Looks like a bobber with a cut down stock bed. And yes there have been several of them built.

I don't see losing the extra rear axle if you don't want to make the truck smaller....you lose the load capability and the walking beam suspension when you do that mod.

You would lose some weight but turning radius would not be improved much, if all.

there's a couple of pics at www.idahomotorpool.com of what you are looking for.

NOTE: The idea was more for looks than performance changes.

I cut down the troop seats to. It looks good i think

 

[goodguyzy]

i have no idea

 

[Tinwoodsman]

I started mine with that plan but one morning I woke up and the rear hubs were flipped and it had a set of 395's on Hemtt's Go figure!

 

[goodguyzy]

that may happen to mine real soon to. maybe Santa will come over and it will be done when i wake up also

 

[vinnies10]
