whats the deal on this. is this truly a bolt on? interested while i still have not painted my frame.

Dinos63 · 11-29-2009, 10:33 PM

yup just the notches for the steering needs welding

texastrendz · 11-29-2009, 10:35 PM

is he selling these yet? its all bout the inches

Dinos63 · 11-29-2009, 10:45 PM

ahh the dropmember?

texastrendz · 11-29-2009, 10:54 PM

na man, he is advertising on his site a bolt on body drop for the 67-72 c-10 trucks. i think it is done by the cab mounts. i was wondering what other mods are needed to complete the process

**N2TRUX** · 11-29-2009, 10:57 PM

I don't think he has it available yet. When his products are ready for the market he usually posts it here. Since he hasn't given us a sneak peak, I am going to speculate that it's not done yet.

As always, the best way to get a correct answer is call, email or PM Nate himself.

texastrendz · 11-29-2009, 11:00 PM

i like speaking on this forum about nate's stuff, i think it motivates him to "get it done" before the two week thing. lol

Dinos63 · 11-29-2009, 11:10 PM

oops sorry

i saw those at his shop on the black and white truck he is building very nice

**N2TRUX** · 11-29-2009, 11:19 PM

Aaah, the old "fuel to the fire" approach.

texastrendz · 11-29-2009, 11:47 PM

yea you got it

bedsled71 · 11-30-2009, 12:00 AM

There's more to the 'kit' than just the cab mounts.

texastrendz · 11-30-2009, 12:21 AM

do tell us more scoti

Rokcrln · 11-30-2009, 12:32 AM

Just wait for Nate to bring it to us. Do you still unwrap your Christmas presents before the 25th?

Now you guys always give Nate Sh1t about the "2 week thing" but what you fail to realize is he never states when those two weeks start. I assume it is about two weeks before we see the parts here on the board

yea i know, that guy has to be busy. he has to love the attention he gets from us razzing his "two weeks" lol

andrewmp6 · 11-30-2009, 07:08 AM

He makes amazing parts give him time he will never let you down.

c10addict · 11-30-2009, 12:29 PM

I am curious about the bed and waiting to see the kit... The cross sills sit on the frame mounts and there is not room for a drop without cutting... Does it come with new cross sills??? Inquiring minds want to know..

WOW.... listen to all this hype about a kit that isn't even done yet!

I don't want to give out all the details, as it isn't finished yet.... but here's what to look forward to: It will bolt-on, and drop the truck's sheetmetal .75" making the frame-rails and the pinch weld the same height. It will also take care of the bed mounting, core support mounting, and bumper mounting.
