Re: Dropmembered trucks
Yes, the frame has to have c-notches welded in for R&P clearance. Later model a-arms (73-87) arms can be used (or Porterbuilt/Ride Tech style tubular arms) & stock or dropped spindles w/factory brakes.

Re: Dropmembered trucks
I just fabricated new lines for the front brakes. Alot easier than trying to make your 40+ year old lines work. (my opinion)

Re: Dropmembered trucks
You can do it Drew. If your not a welder, just take it to a welding shop and have the notches welded in. Or get in the texas section. Lots of good guys I've met down there could probably help you out.
I dont have the PB, but the SD raised crossmember, and I will tell you that Nate is a very stand up guy and will make sure that you are running everything right. He's helped me out a lot even though I've never bought anything from him.

Re: Dropmembered trucks

Re: Dropmembered trucks
Here's a couple of mine. Still have to cut some stuff off the bottom of the frame to lay it all the way out.
