Re: My little long bed 62
Well its running good now but is 6000 miles away from me. Been awhile since I posted but I have been lurking like crazy! My goal is to lay this truck out as low as I can with airbags.
I know porterbuilt has a member for my truck, a 62 LWB w/ 235 I-6. My question is what is all involved if I order the member with I-6 motor mounts and switch to a sbc in the future? Is just a matter of removing and welding in new mounts? I am a big newbie when it comes to welding and still lack a welder for now but have plenty of available support if I absolutely need it. Also, does PB make anything for the rear of my truck?
My plan
Front- use the member, mustang RnP but I wanna keep it manual, used 73-87 arms (do I have to Pie the lowers to fully lay out?), 3" drop spindles w/ 73-87 disk brakes also manual.
Rear - I wanna try and reuse the stock 2-link if I can, if not does anyone make any kind of kit besides a universal 4-link? I am not trying to make it as unique as possible so I don't mind "bolt-on" parts, just trying to have fun. I am open to suggestions for the rear.
I am trying to get everything figured out now cause I'm stuck in Iraq currently and doing my research. I have been drooling over the DM for awhile and might be able to swing the funding for the member initially. I will be piecing everything I can together before I start. I am gonna be using the truck as my Daily and then try and get everything done with as little downtime as possible.(I hope but we know how that goes)
