Stumbled across this. Opinions?

I was surfing Autotrader for fun and saw this:

Now, I am iffy about some aspects of it, but it is the first lowrider Ranger I've seen with a chopped top and I think it really enhances the lowered look, although I wouldn't of chopped it so low. I hate the wheels though and the rear spoiler is a bit much.

Opinions? Good? Bad? Beautiful? Hideous?

That looks pretty good, but I'm not digging those colors or those wheels.

This is my dad's 88 ranger. 4" chopped top, tubbed with a shortened ford 9" rear, 355 chevy , 700R4 trans. It's pretty straight with no rust, but the paint job is starting to fade as it looks like this was done probably about 15 years ago. The guys who had it before us were ford guys who didn't know much about chevy engines and transmissions, but they decided a 355 chev a better choice as it is cheaper and with a higher availability of parts. The wiring was pretty terrible, the tv cable was just tied around the throttle mechanism and the electronic overdrive wasn't hooked up right so the torque converter was always locked up and it smoked the trans.

Yeah, if I were to do a lowered truck it'd have darker paints, and deffinitely no chrome wheels. I'd plan mine to resemble the stance and proportions of an old muscle car rather than a lowrider. I do like the chopped top look, just not too low, it's a hard thing to balance.

Tell your dad to drop a Ford 429, or if he hits the lotto, a Boss 429 racing engine.

Chopped top=Gay

The ranger has some nice work, but no where near worth that much
