There are multiple benefits when using drop spindles up front. They offer increased drop w/minimal impact to steering geometry & much improved braking because you have to upgrade to disc brakes. The benefits of the small step notch is you can set it up @ just the height you need/want (that also allows for full clearance) & the full rail height is stronger vs a c-notch (a safe ride is a better ride for you & everyone on the road). The addition of spindles + a step notch should put the main rails on or very near the ground when air'd out & yield around a 5" ride height (@ the rails) which is the minimum one should target (again... for safety). There are also supporting mods to get that low (raising front & rear wheel tubs) but there are multiple options to choose from. Plan your build around the OD dimensions of the wheels/tires vs having to change them @ the end to fit the build.

I did a rear Z for multiple reasons on my 64:
It's 50/50 (Z vs the tall step notch approach) depending where you locate the bags and/or which type of bag chosen. 6.50/16 = 6.50 + 6.50 + 16 = 29" tall. Cups & plates should get you close or just re-work your lower a-arms to allow the bag to sit further down in the pocket (I did a set like that for my CC dually before swapping to PB lower arms).

Always such great info and great replies! Thank you so much for all of your time helping me! I wanted to do the Z in front and back to work on my fab skills and challenge myself!!! I also wanted to try to do as much custom work as possible with minimal buying to again challenge myself and LEARN! I also want to keep the trailing arm setup and run my bags in the stock location! I always look forward to your replies my friend and I really appreciate your help and admire your knowledge! I guess I need to finish up my rear Z after thanksgiving (weather allowing since I only have my driveway to work in and it's usually around 28 degrees by the evening here) and just go from there! A few more questions... I am running slam specialties ss-7 bags up front and probably on rear as well. What kind of bolts do I need to mount then to my plates/cups? Would it be ok to get them from my local tractor supply? What size drill bit would I need to drill holes in my crossmember for the plates to bolt to? Sorry for the rookie questions! Again, thank you so much for all of your time! |

The rear would be similar but use thick oversized washers on the bottom bolts (think crankshaft pulley washer thickness). Some 1/4" thick 2x2" mild steel strap drilled would work.

Re: Vanschoyck MetalWorks & Artistry's 67 c10
Great work so far my friend, keep going and never give up. Keep listening and keep learning it never ends. I am 46 and still learning, the old learn from the young too so never be afraid to put your input into a conversation.

Re: Vanschoyck MetalWorks & Artistry's 67 c10
I really appreciate it, thanks a ton! I plan to keep going and trying to learn and improve each day! I actually went to a university and graduated with a bachelors of exercise science because my mom wanted me to go to college. My dream has always been to be some kind of artist/musician/something creative. After going from job to job and hating my life I decided it was time to choose my own path. My dream is to create things and make a decent living from that. I like to be away from crowds/people most of the time, so if I could have a successful small business that would be perfect for me. I'd love to be able to just go into my own shop and build things for people and pay the bills that way. I've been smirked at and laughed at recently when voicing this plan of mine, but what many people don't know is I thrive on proving people wrong. I was 110lbs at 17yrs old and the weakest kid in my high school, people also laughed when I told them I'd be one of the strongest people they ever knew, flash forward and I'm 29yrs old chasing down a 1,000lb squat at 230lbs and 5'7". Have already nailed an easy 800 with plenty videos and pics as proof! Your post really inspires me along with everyone else's support here. I may never be as talented or successful as porterbuilt (basically my new hero's) but I won't stop trying!! Thank you guys so much for helping me stay motivated, lately I had kinda been down in the dumps when it came to trying to start this business. I love this place!

It's sad there's so many insecure people in this world that feel it necessary to hurt others so they feel better.....
Those dice are sweet btw!

Re: Vanschoyck MetalWorks & Artistry's 67 c10
Thanks so much brother! They're a lot of work to get them all straight. They're six, 3"x3" squares of 3/16" mild steel all welded together then ground all the bevels with my grinder and a flap disc. Drilled the dots with a hand drill!!!

Nice work and a very cool truck. I'm really digging it.

Re: Vanschoyck MetalWorks & Artistry's 67 c10
Just a thought, but I'm wondering if you might be planning to do some air-brush art on the body of your truck? Something that is sort of 70s boogie van retro? You have the talent, and you want something very individualistic.

Re: Vanschoyck MetalWorks & Artistry's 67 c10
Hey thanks for the kind words my friend!!! I would definitely like to try some airbrushing sometime, never really done any of that!! The only problem is my artwork is a little on the dark/weird/creepy side haha! I hand drew the logo in my avatar with a sharpie marker and had it vectorized. I think it's an awesome idea and would love to try it!! I really appreciate the confidence you have in me that means a lot!!!

Re: Vanschoyck MetalWorks & Artistry's 67 c10
Brando_Vanschoyck, this is a really groovy thread, man! That work you're doing on the truck looks nice. And the art is really great. I like those dice a lot, you need to hang them from a reinforced rear view mirror when you're done with the truck. I'll bet it wouldn't be too much of a stretch for you to move your art over to the light side, perhaps do unicorn, butterfly, and rainbow art on the side of that truck! :-)
No, seriously, that stars and stripes flag art is really cool, too. I wonder if something to that effect could be put all along the side of the truck, kind of like a super-fat body trim/moulding. |

You may also have an eye for photograhy, the view, background and lighting you have on your pics has a cool effect
