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

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

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

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.

Nice truck vinnies10 That is what i was thinking of by "stock" With the duals in the back and cut down bed.

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