Do you know the backspacing? I'm not sure how to convert "full offset" to BS. Also are you running a 72 rearend?

Thanks!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build

Hi guys I worked my tail off last night and did not seem to get as much done as I wanted. I really enjoyed gringing all of those studs off and punching them out of the frame. Yeah ha it sucked. On a good note the bolt on notches slipped right over the rear frame rails and fit like a glove. Thanks Nate for the great product. I am always a little worried when I buy bolt on parts that there will be fitment issues. But not with porterbuilt. So here are the pics.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build

Also in the third picture you can see were I relieved the frame on the top rail for the headers. The guy that painted the truck and did the motor left the headers touching the frame. Smart I know, so i had to fix that little problem.

When you trimmed the frame for the headers was it just the top rail or both top and bottom. Thanks look forward to this one too...cool stuff
