Another Dropmember member!
I feel I have to apologize. This project is taking much longer than I had ever anticipated.
And I never take photos. There has got to be something wrong with me. Anyhow,here is how she looks right now. I have to rave about Nat's (Porterbuilt) Dropmember. It is one of the best engineered components I have ever installed. We have Z-ed frames, sectioned crossmembers and installed Mustang II set ups and they all end up looking and functioning like an afterthought. If you ever consider a crossmember solution the choice is simple. DROPMEMBER! Besides, Nat's a hell of a nice guy. This endorsement is simply an attempt by me to show I am not a total lazy ass and to reclaim some type of respect for myself. Any resemblance of bribery, blackmail or payola is purely coincidental.

Sweet truck just got SWEETER! I think I remember you saying you were running 18x8's up front with a 5.25" BS. Does this BS work well with the dropmember? Or would you change anything?

Re: Another Dropmember member!
You are slow!!!!!:lol:
If I recall, you're one of the first ten or so Dropmember customers! Nice to see it finally rolling around! Looks awesome!!!!:metal: |
Re: Another Dropmember member!
That's awesome. I like that the dropmember was able to accomodate the wooden park brake you use, too. ;)

Re: Another Dropmember member!
Love the wheels... i've been tossing that wheel around for a while now. what are the specs on the wheels and the tires? are they coys or AR?
Those back ones have a lot of dish did you narrow the axle? |

Re: Another Dropmember member!
Those are AR wheels, and I "think" he said the rear was narrowed.

Re: Another Dropmember member!
Thanx guys for the compliments!
Damn Lolife99, you have a good memory. They do set in with the dropmember but it is kinda cool. I can turn lock to lock even with the truck sitting on the ground! Sorry BadBusa, When I pull the motor again I'll try and take a few pics then. Yeah Nat, it's been a little over a year now. But believe it or not I have been working on the 77 all day today and right now I'm taking a short break for a bite to eat and a little Barrett-Jackson then it's back to the shop for more fun. Ok Jon, I can tell you're jealous. I build you a set of Billet cedar parking brakes and drop them off at Scotts shop. Smashing The rear is a narrowed 9" I always liked a deep wheel on the rear of anything. Fronts are 8x18 5.25 bs rears are 10x20 4" bs. tires are 245/40/18 rears are 295/40/20 Ken I see you're on line right now ..... probably bored.....come over and help me put my bed on! |
