Re: Dropmembered trucks
Looks great, but I don't think it's a "Dropmember", by the conventional standard. Looks like very nice, high quality parts, which have come to be expected from SD...

it"s still a crossmember that allows my truck to drop to the ground. Hence the term "dropmember" . Thanks for all the comments guys |

The Dropmember is Porterbuilt Streetrods replacement crossmember. Other companies use different terminology to describe theirs. There is a difference. Subtle difference, but a difference no less. Nice job on yours BTW.

Re: Dropmembered trucks
There is a lot of Man Love for Nate over here. Nate builds the Drop Member and Suicide Doors makes the Raised Crossmember. Both accomplish the same thing. Thanks for sharing your build

It is a 65 LWB, I am going to get the same headers made he has. 1 & 7/8 equal length long tubes.

Re: Dropmembered trucks
My wife just does not even ask anymore. She will call me and say "you have a bunch of boxes at the front door, do I even want to know" and I say "never ask a question you really dont want the answer to" LOL>

Re: Dropmembered trucks
Nice. I'm over in Pensacola working on the same thing. I think I scored a suburban frame that I'll paint then put all the pb stuff on then swap frames. I can hear the snow ball rolling down the hill now...... Once the burb comes off the frame all bets are off.
