FS: Custom tube frame with a dropmember and air ride

[abadsvt]

Well i am finally selling my other frame. I need the money to finish my current frame and project. I was building this frame before i went out of town a little less than 1 year ago for work and after i got back i found a c5 drivetrain that i decided to put into my truck so i no longer needed this setup. I wanted to keep it but things have changed a little. Here is a run down on what is installed in the frame. Please email for any questions.

Custom built tube steel frame
Porterbuilt dropmember with power rack and pinion
Brand new cross drilled and sloted rotors with new calipers front and rear
Air ride technologies strong arms
Air ride technologies shockwaves for the front and rear
12 bolt rear end (not posi)
Air ride technologies trianglated four link
Cantilever rear suspension which gives you about 9-10" of lift
Rotors have been redrilled to 5x4.75 bolt pattern for a wider wheels selection
and more....

The frame was designed to have a 7" ride height. The dump height is right about 2-2 1/4" off the ground to the rockers. I designed it so if an airbag ever popped i wont drag the frame or rockers. I am only trying to get the money i have in the frame out so basically you are getting a custom frame for free! Please email me for any quesitons.

PRICE is $7250 for a complete rollin chassis minus the wheels and tires

The wheels and tires in the pics do not come with the frame.

Here is a few pics showing the dump height and the frame with some sheetmetal

Also one more thing.

The frame has stock spindels. If you put drop spindels it will lay rocker.

Wow, heck of a deal. Looks like great craftsmanship. I assume it is a shortbed pu frame? It would almost be a shame to put a body on it and cover it.

I think January is a great month to make that trip. You should still come and buy it. I was debating on selling it since i started my other project a few months ago. Oh' well maybe next time.

sounds very tempting.. (the trip that is) never been to cal. wife wants to check it out also.. hah i had bought one for 6k and it didn't have all that yours had.. my stomach is STILL turning!! ohh well, your new project is KILLER!! keep the pics comin

[gunkis84]

ohh yea 1 thing josh.. im assuming by watching the frambe build that you ordered your wheels before you had it all together.. how did you know the correct backspacing for the wheels.. (nothing i hate more than nice rims tucked into the fender 2" too far on each side) and also, when you get a chance what is the width of your rear axle.. i think mine is narrowed.. but not 100%

I actually when a different route. I decided what wheels i wanted then ordered them with as much backspacing they offered. I was planning on shortening the rear end but it just fit. I am not sure what the width of my rear axle is but in a few days i should be putting my rims and tires on the new frame so i can get a measurment for you.

Not a bad idea

[abadsvt]

New price is $6850. I am also willing to build a new frame using all of the components from my frame like shockwaves, dropmember, strong arms and so on. The reason i am willing to do that. There were a few areas that i could have done different. For example. The rear rails sit about 1-1.5" above the rear end so if I lowered it by an 1" or so that is that much more bed space you get. That kind of things. Plus you get a frame a little more personalized to you specs. That way you get a perfect setup for your needs.

Is the drop memeber the bolt in version of the c-10 that you welded in place or does porter have them in weld in versions?

Nathan custom made this dropmember for my specific for my frame. I think it was his first weld in one that he made. I could be wrong though. It came out SWEET!
