Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Thanks, looks easy, on a hp thread someone simply V-notched at the pipe, yours looks better, and may be stronger. Probably won't have the headers when the motor goes in, your pictures should help to estimate where to cut. About an 1" on passenger and drivers sides?? Or just passenger side? Thanks looking forward to your updates.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Any reason why you went with the trailing arm kit instead of the 4link?

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
I don't think this kit requires you to cut the bed floor??

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
any reason you went with a bolt in kit? i see all those nice hobart welders in the garage. just wondering why you went this route. i know all the pb stuff is nice, i too own a dropmember. the quality of the past trucks seems to me that you would of chose a weld in kit. just for the sleek look and not the look of a bolt in kit. nice work, as always.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Ok I will try to answer all of your guys questions. The wheels are 22by 10 in the rear. They are full offset so the rear end will have to be narrowed. No big deal. Because the rear end needs to be narrowed I did not want to have any issues with the 4 link hitting the wheels once the rear was narrowed. Money or price had nothing to do with going 4 link verse trailing arms. As far as the floor being cut yes it will need to be cut I will cut most of the center of the bed out. Also as far as bolt in verse weld in it really did not matter to me. Nate sent me the bolt in so that's what I went with. The kit is first class and I don't think it matters bolt verse weld in this case. The rear of the truck is as sold as any weld in notch I have ever done on one of these trucks mostly due to the design. I hope that helps guys. Thanks for checking out the thread more pics to come tomorrow.
