I've done the crossmember notch but it doesn't give you much for the work. To combine a c.member notch + frame 'Z' is just extra work. Skip the c.member notch & raise the rails up more when doing the 'Z' (I realize the OP has already done the c.member notch). |

Re: Daverods project 66
see dave i told you that you need to z the frame :D

Re: Daverods project 66
the Z ing makes for a lot of sheetmetal adaptations , another way would be to channel or floor the body over the frame wish keeps the frame stock but limits headroom in the cab.
channeling is just wat i says two sheetmetal channels made in the floor to drop the whole lot over the frame it does leave a big speedbump in the middle of the floor in the cab and the stock carpet whont fit no more the space to the roof stays the same the biggest challenge is to rethink the sheetmetal in front of the cab (innerfenders radiatorsupport and all that lot need to be shortened and mounted lower ) and making sure the stuff hanging from the bulkhead whont hit the engine and the top of the engine whont hit the hood . flooring is basicly cutting the floor and most of the bulkhead and some of the rearwall of the cab trimming it the amount you want to go lower and reweld it in , this leaves the floor stock looking but with a step in the doorframe and less room inside the cab floor to roof they do this a lot when they want to drag the body to bottom of the doors (they remove all sheetmetal below it ) you can still fit the stock carpet back in after some trimming , the rest of the sheetmetal lowering stays the same as with channeling the clearance problems too the bed can be either floored too or lowered by shortening the mounts and cutting holes above the pumpkin and rearframe above the axle in my eyes flooring looks the best but is the most work and the porterbuild dropmember is the easest safing a LOT of work to make the rest fit on duallyscene.com they have a lot of pictures of these adaptations though they mostly use 77 and up trucks , there laying frame with 22 inch truckrims under there pickups sorry stroddler missed you request there for a moment heres the link to the dropmember http://www.porterbuiltstreetrods.com hes building a new website tough |
Re: Daverods project 66
There is so many ways to get this done. You just have to pick the one that you can do, or can afford.
Thanks for the link watahyahknow ;) |
Re: Daverods project 66
Life is so simple.:smoke: All I need is more money. Couple grand. I do like the drop member. Wonder what I have to do to keep my arms. Don't really want to buy arms and a member.

Re: Daverods project 66
That kit is based off of Nates kit, but it has a bunch of stuff done diffrent and better then Nates. Mostly less welded parts and better motor mounts.
You still couldn't be like me Dave I have the P-51 kit and that's the P-47 |
