Why do I love this truck so much?

Yes, I know it's not a "real" truck anymore. 

But I think this thing is awesome. And he does use it to haul stuff for his business.

Not sure how it isn't "real"... it appears to be casting a shadow, and if it rolled over your foot I'm certain it would seem real enough. :D

By "real truck" I mean that it's no longer a workhorse. It's GVWR is drastically reduced, those wheels/tires limit where it can haul, and it has the capabilities of a chassis cab one ton pickup! :)

 

It is most definitely real and in existence though! Google Jason Thorbecke or Thorbros.com. Tons of build pics and other pics.

 

And apparently, lowered Loadstars is now a a thing. And this Thorbecke guy does a few of them!

This is Jason Thorbecke’s truck. He does a lot of bagged stuff and has an amazing S10 back half kit. Truck is cool, I’ve seen it in person

I like it. Lowered trucks are my favorite. Not a big fan of the large wheels/low profile tires but it's still a nice looking truck.
