Re: Finally my own build thread!
Quick note on the CHP checking your frame. My experience is that if it was bought out of state and you are trying to transfer the title CHP or the DMV has to do a VIN verification and an inspection. The other situation where they would want to see it is if it has been "Non-op" for a while and you are trying to register it as a drivable vehicle. It looks like you're pretty far along, but I would have gotten the truck running/driving and tried to register it first before you did the frame swap. I know people that have run into this problem and it's a real pain. If they do notice the frame is swapped they will make you register it as a new construction or street rod and make you register it as a 2007 ( or whatever year you try and register it in). I would do some research before you went any further. I'm not saying this is fact, and it may not apply in your situation, but these are problems my friends and I have run into. Then again, as many of us have found out, it all depends on which DMV clerk you get and what kind of mood he/she is in!!!

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Here's some pics of the custom Dropmember for Josh's (ABADSVT) chassis. This one is a complete weld-in piece and will be sporting the 'new' lower control arm mounting caps.

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Sweet Job Nathan! I love all the way you built it! It looks sweet and I also love how much weld surface there is between the dropmember and the frame. I also love the new lower mounts for the lower control arms! I can't wait till i get it! I will have a rollin chassis soon

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Thanks everyone for the encouraging words! I am hoping to have it completed by end of March or first of April. I have a few more things to do on the rear suspension then when the dropmember gets here i am dying to get it installed!!! I sent my wheels to be powdercoated about a week ago and last wednesday. I guess when they were sandblasting some of the chrome on the rear wheels it ripped off a large piece of chrome. So i get a phone call from the people who i ordered my wheels from and told me that my powdercoater just ordered 2 new wheels for me. I couldn't believe it. Right after that i got a phone call from the powdercoater and told me what happened. I thought it was great customer relations for them to order a set of wheels right away. I am having just the centers powdercoated which leaves a chrome lip. That was what pealed off. I should get them this week hopefully! Anyways everyone i will post lots of pics when i get more done!
Josh

Re: Finally my own build thread!
Wow... and I was thinking that fabin up a couple of rear crossmembers and a shackle flip on mine was looking cool till I saw this.. Nice work.
Are you going to add some sort of bracing at the weld joints along your rails? |
