Time for her quadrennially scheduled waxing

Muuuch better

Also been talking to Dave and Nate Porter again, and they've convinced (well, shamed really) me into going a little more 'extreme' with this round of mods...

Extreme is good,..

Good Choice! Are you still planning on doing coilovers or bags now?

It is, but also requires an extreme amount of work...

Lets just say I've been looking hard at the new endo products, trying to decide if they're worth the money

So is that code for Bags or .........

Awesome build! Spent a few hours reading thru all the pages! Your truck inspired me to do a paint job on my 70 stepper like yours! Beautiful truck!

So, it looks like we're gonna end up with an 'extreme'ly low static coilover drop. I'll keep the thread up-to-date with any further changes (hopefully no mas)

Thanks and good luck! Only one way to know if you can do it, and that's to try. They have a much better selection of colors available now than they did a few years ago. Great quality paint, that I think I'll be using more of soon...

I can't wait to take a measuring device to these things (and compare them to my Belltechs)! I've read and heard multiple different guesses and proposals on how much he track is narrowed. I want to quantitatively dispel all rumors

kehstr · 10-29-2016, 01:00 AM

wait... so what was in that box?

Glad to hear your going with the extreme coilovers and we can observe your expertise , no change in the rear with the No Limit trailing arm set up correct.

A set of CPP modular drop spindles. Hoping they will provide a narrower track-width (I'm eager to compare them to my Belltech drop spindles), which will provide clearance for turning at super-low heights (and maybe a deeper-dish wheel

). I also went with the 1" narrowed arms from PB

The NL rear kit has been sold to another member. The 'current' plan involves a PB level 3 (extreme) v7 coilover Dropmember up front and level 2 (touring) coilover Dropmember out back. Sorry for all of the confusion--I just barely have figured out what's going on myself

The boxes should start piling up, soon: PB suspension/hood hinges, Ridetech coilovers (via shores6), HartRod ChubTubz, Hill's Rod and Custom inner fenders, and a bunch of other stuff from places I haven't ordered yet--still need Boyd's fuel tank, steering rack/hoses/linkage and a bunch of other hard/soft parts--aaaaah! this is the snowball I was trying to avoid

Yeah, but admit it... playing in the snow is so damn fun, huh?

Stickman · 10-30-2016, 08:24 PM

So what was the reason to go with the PB rear vs NL. I like both products/companies so I was just curious and one happens to be in my backyard.

Ultimately, I just wanted to go lower. The NL pieces were very nice, but didn't allow me to drop as far as I wanted

Yes, very similar. I think I'll need a bed fill. Selling that one?

No, it is one that I ordered that showed up on Friday. Just thought it was funny that you were talking about getting one when mine just showed up. I don't know if you have ever looked at one before, but they are very well built and have all of the needed baffles, and then some!

gringoloco · 10-31-2016, 06:58 PM

Good to hear! I've never seen one in person, but I've never seen a bad review on one. Im a little side-tracked with putting together an AOD to t5 swap on the Muskrat, so I've taken a break on ordering truck parts (for the moment). I have some time to kill while I wait for the PB bits...

gringoloco · 11-27-2016, 05:10 PM

Still stockpiling parts:

mcbassin · 11-28-2016, 11:57 AM

Killer truckload of parts!

**Hart_Rod** · 11-28-2016, 01:35 PM

You should be busy for a while!
