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.

You would have to ask nate but I am sure 4 link would work. I have 2.75 inches between the bag mount back of the wheel. As far as teeth think the trucks look nice you should see my pts teeth.

What size rear tires are you running? Awesome work by the way!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build

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.

Wood floors are high maintance and this is an everyday driver. I am not a fan of full raised floors as I feel they take away from the way the inside of the bed. Thanks for your input.
