Nice numbers, going to be lots of fun. I've gone with Hedman 1 3/4" primary, 3" collector long tube headers. I like your 3/4 length shorties, what are the specs on them, and what make (look like Hedman's)? Your Dad will love it.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build

Your ideas are great! This is the same truck I would build if it were for myself!.....A whole lot of wheel.......a whole lot of power........and pounded on the ground! while keeping things a little understated, simple and clean!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build

Not sure if you said this earlier, but what is the width and backspace on those rears?

Truck is beautiful btw!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build

full offset means that he was able to get as much lip as possible. pretty much the center part of the wheel was attached to the hoop as far back as the wheel width would "safely" allow. the backspacing of the wheel will decrease the lower the offset.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build

This was the hardest part of the build do to the fact that the truck was already painted. I had to be super careful. I like the result

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build

I changed my mind on the red liner I think it will be to much for the truck. I have decided to go with black. What do you guys think. Still doing the red interior and satin red paint inside the truck.

Yes, I think a black bed liner will look the best! The red interior will be awesome! The bed looks great by the way!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build

I would build a raised wood floor, put it on gas struts so you can store stuff under it, do a fairly dark wood and polished stainless strips (the smooth hidden fasteners ones from mar-k maybe)... I know that's far from what your going for but... I think it'd really suit the truck.

LOVE the truck btw.

Eric, Red definitely would be to much, just out of place I think. Black is the best choice.

The truck looks GREAT man. I am really enjoying this build as it progresses. Thanks for takin the time to post it up for us to enjoy. Awsome truck man, just Awsome
