Thanks guys really looking forward to getting after it toight

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Hi guys I worked my tail off last night and did not seem to get as much done as I wanted. I really enjoyed gringing all of those studs off and punching them out of the frame. Yeah ha it sucked. On a good note the bolt on notches slipped right over the rear frame rails and fit like a glove. Thanks Nate for the great product. I am always a little worried when I buy bolt on parts that there will be fitment issues. But not with porterbuilt. So here are the pics.

Also in the third picture you can see were I relieved the frame on the top rail for the headers. The guy that painted the truck and did the motor left the headers touching the frame. Smart I know, so i had to fix that little problem.

I think the real question is did he opt for the sequential LED upgrade and reverse LED upgrade ;)

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

[QUOTE=superflysteiny;4437508]Thanks guys should be good. So talked to Nate couple days ago and drop member is on its way. So like I stated in a previous post hood and inner fenders came out when I put the upper trim on. So here are some pics of the trim on the side of the truck along with the new marker lights. Paint condition on the outside is an 8 out of 10. On the inside 5 out of 10 because it was not wet sanded and buffed so there is some runs and orange peel, I will be doing that this weekend. Also my standards on paint are really high do to the fact that I like show paint which as you all no takes alot more work to get. Again with this truck I am really having to control myself from building an all out show truck. I am trying to keep in mind that it is a driver. I plan to shoot out to az for the goodguys shows and this is the truck we are taking.


I've got a friend that builds at your level, the most fun he's had is a '34 Ford 3 window coupe with good paint but needing the cool factor. Traditional wheels and tires, tri power, finned covers, traditional steering wheel and column, etc. The car is amazing in my view, but he doesn't have to justify the paint as he didn't do it, and zero stress driving and parking it anywhere. (its like your black truck, averages joes would die for) Anyway, look forward to another of your builds and good on you to take care of your Dad. That's Super Fly

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

When you trimmed the frame for the headers was it just the top rail or both top and bottom. Thanks look forward to this one too...cool stuff

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Looking forward to this project! I'd love to find someone that'll powder coat all my stuff for $650..... That'd be awesome!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

[quote=65Pickup;4462310]Thanks I am really looking forward to just being able to drive it were every we want which will be nice. ;)

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

I only had to trim the top rail. It was very easy

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

If you lived closer I could get you the hook up.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Wanted to let you guys know I have the frame and rear together. I will get pics tonight. I am test fitting the rear end and rack and then off to the powder coater.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

great progress cant wait.....this is going to be the fastest DROPMEMEBER build EVER !!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Thanks, looks easy, on a hp thread someone simply V-notched at the pipe, yours looks better, and may be stronger. Probably won't have the headers when the motor goes in, your pictures should help to estimate where to cut. About an 1" on passenger and drivers sides?? Or just passenger side? Thanks looking forward to your updates.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Cool build. Can't wait to see this cruisin around town. Funny, my pop has a red and white 72 cheyenne sb that I would love to see done like yours, but so far no luck. Haven't been able to talk him into it yet.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

I cut the frame with the plasma and I did an arch because I like smooth arches not agressive sharpe angles. Just my style. It is the same way I did it on the 67 build and it worked great. After it was cut I smoothed it with a 60 grit flap disc. ;)

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

I would love to see your ride maybe we could hook up some time

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Pics will be up later this afternoon.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Thanks widest lip you can get on a 10 inch wheel. Off to the powder coater

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Are those Intros? What are the specs on those sweet wheels?

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Any reason why you went with the trailing arm kit instead of the 4link?
