Thread: Stude M5 build

Tweet

The thing I like about the 40's stude is the high belt line making it look almost like a chopped top compared to other trucks. I always thought the bed looked kind of low on the original, mine sits a couple inches higher than stock. To make it even with the window it would be ridiculously high.

You guys are not understanding. It's not about higher or lower, it's about having the window sill and the top of the bed PARALLEL, like railroad tracks, only sideways. If you laid an angle finder on that image that you have posted and got the angle of the cab window sill and the angle of the top of the bed, they would not be the same angle. If you tilt the front of the bed up a little, or the rear of the bed down a little, then the window sill and the bed would be PARALLEL and would have FAR better eyeball than they do now. I must be mis-explaining this, maybe some of you other guys can help me out.
