Street Trucks Square Body Dropmember - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

We installed a complete Dropmember Front and Rear system in a square body for Street Trucks a couple weeks ago. Here’s a sneak peak… keep your eyes peeled for a complete write-up shortly!

They had to alternate... as they ran ours back in January 2008 issue!

Looks good. What kind of steering rack is that? I swear I have looked at every kind of mustang rack for my raised crossmember, and have not seen one like that. Very cool, with the braided lines and stuff, but I bet its expensive. Probably a good thing I already have my unisteer one.

It's a gunmetal metallic... not quite positive on the color. SCOTTMO (board member) owns SM Powdercoating and handles all our powdercoating. He's a great guy to deal with, and takes great pride in his work.

Not sure the total retail on everything being installed. There's just over $4500 of my parts on the truck.

I figured you'd go "the other way"

It has the same result either way you set the bars. Doesn't really matter which way the links are set... as long as they are all set the same way!

WOW that's nice if I only didn't have 4 kid's, 2 in collage I might be able to buy myself something as nice as this.
