Porterbuilt "FRONT DROPMEMBER", arms, Sway

Nates "New Hoodhinges"

Porterbuilt Crossmembers (two driveshafts)

Rear: Custom Porterbuilt "DROPMEMBER" (Weld IN)

Sheetmetal bed work by Nate. with wood bed.

ACCUAIR Dual Compressor set up with Key FOB remote

BIG Brakes: (leaning toward smooth rotors to maintain OEM style look)

Wheels: Still Debating It will be a 20 front 22 rear (Like to hear imput)

Paint: Will Stay with all moldings and Trim

Motor/Trans: Factory numbers matching 350 with numbers matching tranny.

Should turn out Good. I hope everybody will enjoy seeing Nathan at Porterbuilt work his magic on this one.

One day the tootsie will roll......and it will be sporting all the trim just like your truck

Nates "New Hoodhinges" There will be a small line for these when they are done..

I will PM you later with my wheel and tire choices for you...

Me and Nate had this conversation earlier today....spending your money is so much easier than mine!

my67chevytruck · 08-20-2009, 06:40 PM

sweet plans.... looking forward to the updates..

PBFAB.COM · 08-20-2009, 07:51 PM

A few more pics:

Just as nice on the inside...

Nice running 350...

A little more room to work in...

VA72C10 · 08-20-2009, 09:25 PM

Cool....she'll be scraping pavement in no time

big_al_71 · 08-20-2009, 11:04 PM

<am everytime I log in there is someone doing some cool stuff..I am suscribing to this one as it is my trucks triplet!!!

At least for now!!!

PBFAB.COM · 08-28-2009, 12:43 AM

Made some more progress today. Removed the entire front suspension and crossmember; removed the entire rear suspension; removed the exhaust; removed the brake and fuel lines; and INSTALLED the new DROPMEMBER!

The new DropmemberV3.2 (it's pretty sexy if I may say so)

I like a nice set of bare frame-rails!

Welded in the rack notches.

In with the Dropmember!

VA72C10 · 08-28-2009, 01:38 AM

Looking good.

**lks dcvn** · 08-28-2009, 08:20 AM

That looks pretty sharp...

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-28-2009, 06:06 PM

In like Flin

PBFAB.COM · 08-28-2009, 06:38 PM

Just an FYI...

We will be taking the truck down to the bare chassis, and having the entire thing powdercoated.

This build will also be sporting our new "Bolt-on Body Drop" kit.

It's best to send me an e-mail or PM with your phone number and a good window of time when I can reach you. That way I can give you a call and we can discusss it better and then go from there.

The chassis work is all stuff that I can give a solid bid on. Most of the sheet-metal and some other types of work are all "time and materials".

Bolt on BODYDROP????????????????

This truck will see the installation of a couple more of our new products we haven't released yet. We will be finalizing our hood hinges, and the bolt-on body drop. I don't want to spill all the beans on the body drop kit... Obvious items will be the new bolt-on cab mounts that replace the steel units riveted to the chassis. The other main part of the kit... you'll have to wait for!

LUV2XCLR8 · 08-29-2009, 06:37 AM

Tease

PBFAB.COM · 08-31-2009, 06:58 PM

I think we have the wheels picked out... now to try and get them to build the rear in a 22 for us.

*1sik52* · 08-31-2009, 07:00 PM

Ooooooooh Yea!

**lolife99** · 08-31-2009, 07:52 PM

sgrier · 09-01-2009, 12:11 AM

I have subscribed to this build. I am lovin this since I just starting getting in my parts today. I will be watching because my truck is getting front and rear dropmembers. Can't wait to see this truck progress. Hey Nate put me in line for the new hood hinges.

72BlckButy · 09-01-2009, 08:20 AM

Wow that is a great rendering.... Saved side markers, shaved upper cab,.... I like what I see so far!

Who will be doing the body work? No one piece windows?
