Re: $500 bucket

Hi everyone,

I made some progress today on the $500 Bucket! I got rid of all the stock front suspension, and started bolting on my Porterbuilt Streetrods Dropmember. I never got sent any directions for the installation so having a Classic Trucks magazine article of the installation definitly helped out alot!
I'm going to start putting on the control arms next week. I'm waiting on my new ball joints and bushings for my stock control arms. Does anyone still now where to get Turner Industries 2" dropped control arms? I'm thinking about running alittle bit taller tire than the 29" recomended for the dropmember. Well thanks for any feed back on the control arms or if anyone nows where I can get a fleetside short bed let me now.

Re: $500 bucket

Hi everyone,

I got alittle work done on my $500 bucket. I've got over $2000.00 bucks in the front suspesion now and I still need shocks, and steering linkage. I planned on using my stock control arms but liked the looks and allignment advantages of the Art Strongarms, so I recently purchased uppers and lowers from Nathan at PorterBuilt Streetrods. Thanks again Nathan! I plan on running 22's all around but my brother in law owes me some money and is willing to give me his 20's so I 'll post more pics in a couple days when I get the wheels. For now I put on my tiny 17's. Let me now what you think so far, remember nothing is done to the rear yet so be nice!
