He did mention back in a post (in Dinos thread about his 66) that for sbc's he likes the manual rack. He said it did require more steering effort but that it wasn't bad (& would keep the sissys out of your truck).

The manual rack does give more "feel"... but can be a PITA when parking. If you have a big steering wheel and Popeye sized forearms it isn't too bad!

I would most likely stick a power rack in anything I would build for myslef.

I just searched this thread and didn't see anything that said I could or couldn't. . . Can you run a big block with the Dropmember?

No, you do not. You may decide you want them, but they are not required.

Here's what it looks like with out spindles-

BACKYARD88 · 11-10-2008, 10:48 PM

Looks nice enough to me

PBFAB.COM · 11-11-2008, 12:06 AM

Spindle selection will depend on overall tire diameter and desired dumped height.

Project SIKty-5 · 11-11-2008, 07:49 PM

Nate, when can we expect to start seeing some UPS boxes show up??
