Porterbuilt's trip to Dallas - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

PBFAB.COM · 08-28-2007, 01:08 AM

Looks like I will be heading out to the Dallas Goodguy's show the beginning of October. I was originally making the trip to deliver a chassis in the area. Since then word has gotten around that I will be be there, and now I have several Dropmember orders to bring along as well. If you've been waiting to purchase one, nows your chance to save $150 on shipping. There's still room in the trailer.

Can't wait to see you there, I wish I could wait to save the shipping, but what would be the fun in that, I wan't this thing yesterday.

Why can't you come to Goodguy's Nashville? Are you too good to hang out with us?

grnddwn · 08-28-2007, 03:25 PM

I don't think I'll make it.

**lolife99** · 08-28-2007, 03:46 PM

BigShoe24 · 08-29-2007, 01:22 AM

I say call Nathan, give him your credit card number. Then see what comes in the mail. Dont see how you can go wrong with that.

grnddwn · 08-29-2007, 06:12 PM

OK now im really not going

**N2TRUX** · 08-29-2007, 11:32 PM

Scoti, knowing how... uh.... cost conscience you are, quit sweating bullets and go with the C-10 set up.....

Think of the money your saving on shipping and you can't pass this deal up.

gringoloco · 08-30-2007, 02:46 AM

C'mon Scot, everyone's doing it...

(Sorry, couldn't resist...

If you buy it now you can have it in before the cedit card statement comes and you won't feel so bad. You just go out to the garge and feel better.

I live in a cash only world so that's not the issue.

My current 'fabricated' big-block accessory set-up works within the stock frame rails & w/stock steering linkage. It was low cost (owner modified steel brackets) & it's functional. I was considering the C4 Dropmember (to help offset the BBC's weight); but one that use's a custom manual R&P (C4 R&P's are power only).

What I don't want to happen is that I purchase a $1K+ Dropmember set up for a custom R&P only to find it won't work w/my current accessory layout which causes me to have to use a different accessory set-up (most likely FrontRunner or TruTrac ++$$)..... which means power steering..... which means another custom R&P (for power steering).

Add up the cost involved & it escalates quickly..... real quick. So, it would be wise for me to verify everything will co-exist prior to purchase.

grnddwn · 08-30-2007, 12:17 PM

Is there that big a weight savings with the C4? I'm asking cause I don't know and I like truck parts on trucks.
Scoti do you have pics of your set-up?

From reading the threads, there was about a 10lb difference in the Dropmembers themselves (my guess: because the way the lower control arms mount are different C10 vs. C4).

The biggest difference is the alum control arms (I would bet that all 4 Vette arms equal close to one lower steel C10 arm) & the aluminum spindles.

Difference between a steel head SBC & an aluminum head BBC = 150lbs????
