Dropmembered 64 stepside

Finally gonna start a build thread. Sorry guys bear with me missing lot of pics. But better than nothing. Here's what I started with. Been in the family for about 20+ years. Use to be a beautiful truck but sat in sun for years. Then after attending UTI I did a little bodywork then I let it sit again. But now I am pushing to get it ready for 2011. Let me know what you think.

Re: Dropmembered 64 stepside

So I was bored with the setup, plus even after grinding down the square tubing to clear rear end I decided to change it up a bit. Put a little twist in it.

Re: Dropmembered 64 stepside

Capped off 2" square tubing and removed that ugly 3/4" bar, replaced it with a 1" square tubing at end of frame.

Re: Dropmembered 64 stepside

Welded up and some paint. The panhard bar is just handtight in a bolt hole until I recieve the bracket in the mail....got tired of seeing it laying around the house....believe me guys it's not staying there just a mock up. It will be mounted under the left notch.

Re: Dropmembered 64 stepside

I decided to fab up my own panhard bar bracket so I went down to metal supply store and bought some 1/4 in strap. Factory measures 3/16 but I decided to beef it up so here are some rough pics....I do alot of my work the old school way, it just takes more grinding to make it a quality of my liking. I will post up more this evening.
