Re: Project: Second time around...
Thanks everyone!
Let me get your opinions on a couple of things.... Should I body drop it or not? Should I keep side moldings on it or get rid of them? If I keep them I'll buy some new ones. Thanks gang! Posted via Mobile Device

Re: Project: Second time around...
Thanks for everyones input.
When I started over my mind was made up. I was going to body drop it... well now that I'm seeing it with some sheet metal on and my wheels and tires. I'm leaning more to not doing it. I really like how it's sitting right now. As of now I don't think I'll do the body drop... As far as the moldings go. I wonder how good of a job a guy could repair them for, as stated by cheby compared to a new set? A dude here in Elk had some done by a guy in OKC (don't know who) and they looked terrible for being redone. Mine aren't terrible just not that great.

Re: Project: Second time around...
I definitely vote moldings and would say to ask for some references to see the guy's work or drop off an extra piece to see how he does....
And have you considered the porterbuilt bolt on body drop that lowers an extra 3/4-1" I believe without having to raise your floor? The one thing I would do if that low is shave the pinch weld on the rocker or at least paint it flat black so it "disappears". I think that with it shaved the truck looks lower overall and the lower body line is straight across.

Re: Project: Second time around...

Re: Project: Second time around...
That's good! Do you know anything about his turn around time? I wonder if it would be worth letting him do everything on my truck.....
