Re: Porterbuilt Dropmembers & 22's on my 77 Ebay truck
i love it!!! i actually just bought a silver '77 off ebay over the weekend. i'm definitely going to bag it this year and might leave it alone for a bit. my main project right now is a '96 sonoma that's bodydropped, 20/22 billets, and a 355.
again, this is by far one of my favorite trucks, everything you have done is just my style!! i always wanted a 67-72 style, then switched to wanting a 60-66 real bad, then found a '77 for a good price and couldn't pass it up. if you don't mind, how much did you end up paying for your truck off good old ebay? |

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmembers & 22's on my 77 Ebay truck
I have had a few people ask about the C.V style driveshaft. It's basically a double u-joint set up that can take more angle and not bind up like the stock single u-joint. Most lifted 4x4 guys use c.v's on front drive shafts due to the angle and short length. With around 12"-14" of total drop, it was one way to get around driveshaft bind at full dump.

It was shortened, right? Going to the local driveshaft shop and ask about this double joint set up. Mine has a little vibration at full dump.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmembers & 22's on my 77 Ebay truck
Man that thing sit right. Even though it's on the ground it still has a little hotrod rake. I love em low, but they still need some rake to emit that cocky hotrod attitude.
The poverty bumpers work with the theme, but I think chrome would set it off.
