Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

I have a couple of multi part questions,
1. Does your custom billet side markers utilize a factory reflector/light housing? is it made for L.E.D.? I'm interested in making some similar.

2. Where did you get your upper mouldings? How was the fitment/quality? Did you buy your lower mouldings from them too? Woodgrain or black?

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

I bought the moldings from chevyland in rancho cordova ca. Fit was perfect I also bought the lower moldings from the same place and they are black. The markers are made for LEDs and do not use stock lenses. The are two piece billet out side with the lens glued to the billet. Hope this helps

Thanks, I sure would like to see some pictures of both sides if you have those markers off again. Don't go to any trouble though. How much was your moulding package if you don't mind, did you use oem style hangers/clips? I have heard some stories about really crappy aftermarket trim. thanks

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

I will send you pica when I get back into town as the markers are off right now. The molding kit uses all stock clips and was 875 for the upper and lower with the tail gate. Hope this helps.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Another awesome build, and in my back yard......hope I see it around town.

...on another note, do you still have the front crossmember with suspension and if so, wanna get rid of it. I'm close and would be glad to come get it.......and also get a peek at your projects. Looking for 5 lug for my 68.....thx.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

I like the satin finish for the frame, rather than gloss. You should be driving it in a couple weeks right?

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

NICE....cant wait for mondays pics

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

You will we will have to get together. I want to see your truck . I looked over your build it is very nice.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

If I were not waiting for axles and the motor I could have the truck back together in two weeks. The issue is I am fixing all the screw ups the other guy made which happens and also I will have a few weeks in the engine compartment with the inner fenders. I plan to take it to cool April night in redding this yr. Should be fun. That is if it's not raining.:lol:

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

what is your idea on the inner fenders ??

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Frame looks nice!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Frame looks GOOD! It looks like you coated it with the rear notch, front member, and trailing arm crossmember installed. That's how I want to do mine. I've just noticed that a lot of people get everything coated apart. Did everything get covered nice around all that stuff?
