Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Are you going to have to narrow the rearend housing to tuck those 20x10's?

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
any reason you went with a bolt in kit? i see all those nice hobart welders in the garage. just wondering why you went this route. i know all the pb stuff is nice, i too own a dropmember. the quality of the past trucks seems to me that you would of chose a weld in kit. just for the sleek look and not the look of a bolt in kit. nice work, as always.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Ok I will try to answer all of your guys questions. The wheels are 22by 10 in the rear. They are full offset so the rear end will have to be narrowed. No big deal. Because the rear end needs to be narrowed I did not want to have any issues with the 4 link hitting the wheels once the rear was narrowed. Money or price had nothing to do with going 4 link verse trailing arms. As far as the floor being cut yes it will need to be cut I will cut most of the center of the bed out. Also as far as bolt in verse weld in it really did not matter to me. Nate sent me the bolt in so that's what I went with. The kit is first class and I don't think it matters bolt verse weld in this case. The rear of the truck is as sold as any weld in notch I have ever done on one of these trucks mostly due to the design. I hope that helps guys. Thanks for checking out the thread more pics to come tomorrow. ;)

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Here is the update: the truck frame is at powder coat. Satin Black is the color. I will get it next thursday. Then I will get it back together. The rear end will be narrowed 2 inched each side. So I am making some good progress. Here are some pics with the frame laid out.http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/...ckframe005.jpg

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Thanks guys
I really like these wheels. They are a little on the expensive side but the milling and polish is darn near flawless. Can't wait to see them up against the black paint. Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
are they coated with anything ?? i bought some Wizards coating to put on mine when they come in from Budnik, it is supposed to help keep them polished ....i hope it works

i am glad to hear that the Wizard works well , thank you

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
What wizard product do you use? Is it the "Power Seal" prudct? I went on their web site but was not sure what product you were intending on using.
How about for polishing dull billet? What would you recommend? I have some billet engine accessory brackets and pulleys that need a good polishing. |
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Metal Renew if they are bad oxidized..... power seal once you get them polished up
|
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
looking good as always
|
Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Sorry to hear about the engine. But the replacement sounds even better.
How are you planning to shave the firewall? Symettrical? Shave the rain gutter? Cap it 90 or at 45 degrees? And keep us up to speed if something happens with the burb (to be tahoe) |
