I'm glad to see you have joined the posting side of the forum. I also appreciate your supporting the site by becoming a vendor. Please take a moment and offer some input here so the speculation can be put to rest.
I was told all the info/prices will be available probably next week when the products are officially released..

what i find funny is a couple years ago on s10 forum there was a big joke about the "bolt on bodydrops" and you guys had them an your website as a joke and if i remember correctly you now sell bolt on body mounts for the c10's.....

looks good, quality of parts is always awesome...

Re: SD control arms released

It would be really cool to have a super special price in that 30 day intro, if you buy the crossmember & the A-arms

Re: SD control arms released

Who exactly is the sd front suspension for ? Just 67-72 or is it being made for us 73-87 people ? I keep asking but all my questions in here have gone unanswered. I have a two wheel drive 80' blazer that is needing some type of extreme drop and i'm just trying to get answers.

It will fit 67-87...if I remember correctly the only difference between the years is what ball joints they use for the different year spindles. I believe the factory crossmembers were pretty much all the same.

I looked back through this thread & don't see where you asked? But now that you have, 6X (early 60's, post torsion bar front suspensions) thru 87 a-arms/suspensions will interchange. You only need to use the appropriate ball-joints for the spindle you decide to use (71-72 spindles use 71-72 BJ's; 73-87 spindles use 73-87 BJ's; etc....).

What will come with the crossmember at this price? Bare crossmember? Arms? If bare, what kind of price for a complete setup?

I want to back up what N2TRUX said and welcome you guys aboard and thank you for signing up as a supporting vendor. Look forward to the knowledge you guys can bring to the forum.

I think you'll like it here ... not alot of kiddie type bickering that you see in other forums. We have a GREAT bunch of folks here with tons of "know-how" to share and it's always nice to have more join the herd.

Mello Mel,... Shoot Thorbecke Bros. (or anyone else on here) a PM if you need a specific question answered. I don't know how many PM's I have sent Porterbuilt,... and other members,... and they always get's right back with me. I feel like that is the quickest source of info.

So your saying this crossmember should fit 63 - 66 as well?

I was wondering because my 63 already has the complete front crossmember/suspension from a 85

If you bolted an 85 crossmember in, the Dropmember will work too. The 60-62's I believe had different frame width dimensions because of the torsion bar suspension.

Re: SD control arms released

I did some searching and didn't see any info on the control arms yet. What are the specs on the uppers? Longer than factory? Different caster settings than originals?

Re: SD control arms released

They are ready to take orders guys. they called me today. $700.. 30 day introductory price. Call them for more details. I'm sure they'll be here today sometime with a full run down.. Killer Deal. Its a kit that comes with a transmission crossmember and the other stuff you need...Will work with your stock control arms.. They also said these will fit earlier years as well like my 63.
