That's a sweet idea on the bedfloor. Nice way to tie it all together. Looks great!

nuke1 · 08-15-2009, 05:34 PM

truck is looking amazing, as my young cousin would say BALLIN'.

ERASER5 · 08-15-2009, 08:37 PM

Next time I am in Greenville for a few days, I'll have to try to see your truck! I promise not to drool on the paint.

Painter D · 08-16-2009, 04:07 PM

Lookin good!

That's a unique idea on the bed floor , I'm diggin it.

chaosdsr · 08-17-2009, 05:00 PM

I got a quick question. The original truck frame with the air setup that had the custom K member, where or whos K-member is that? I have been looking for an aftermarket one and cannot find on for the life of me. I was going to build one but would rather just get a bolt in!

Do you mean the Dropmember?
Look here:
www.dropmember.com.

Contact member "porterbuilt" on this forum, or contact Nathan Porter directly at his website listed above.

chaosdsr · 08-17-2009, 05:33 PM

thanks lolife99 i just found the porterbuilt site in another build thread also. I will have to hit him up to get some pricing! Sorry to hijack the thread carry on!!!

gunkis84 · 08-20-2009, 02:59 PM

sorry about the no responce.. my front setup was built by fatman fabrications out of charlotte nc its the mustang II setup.. ive heard the porterbuilt setup is a great setup and i would probably go with him bc he is actively on this forum.

gunkis84 · 08-20-2009, 03:01 PM

Okay... you can't post that without a pic.

72BlckButy · 09-18-2009, 02:42 PM
