Thanks, steering is piece of cake! As far as turning that will depend on your wheel offset and tire height. I will have alot of room to turn when i cut the inner structure of the fender. As far as turning at full drop, with my combo and with trimming i will say about 3/4 cut before hitting the fender, but....my frame is on the ground so you can't go anywhere!!

If you are going with Porterbuilt stuff, Nate is great to deal with and will help with any questions before,during or after the install!

87c10slammer · 01-14-2009, 02:06 PM

yeah i email him yesterday about everything and he got right back to me and gave me a few links to lock some of the trucks up.. your being the first body style like mine i figured i would ask you from a customer standpoint how things worked out.. i ahev to drive my truck everyday so i dont wanna do anything that i will regret.. or pay a fortune for.. originally i was gonna go with art rear 4link but i like his alot better and it will alow me to lay frame.. what kind of mods did you do to the rear axle and frame... does his kit include everything that you needed for it

The rear kit comes complete, all you need is hand tools and something to cut your frame in half with! I narrowed the rearend because of the backspace i wanted to use in back. You will be drilling a ton of 1/2" holes so a good drill and bits help!

87c10slammer · 01-15-2009, 01:57 PM

nice.. i think im in love with your truck..lol

centexan · 01-16-2009, 11:08 PM

Man that is one clean truck. I have a 77 two-toner myself and love that vintage look. Awesome job!

higgiec10 · 03-04-2009, 11:44 PM

one day hope to have mine look that good nice truck

factory2wdblazer's · 03-06-2009, 12:07 AM

very nice truck like the old school original 2 two tone......laying hella low.........would like to do that to my blazer.................

Tagg33 · 03-19-2009, 11:04 PM

I have a Dropmember on order for my 84 swb and I'm planning to have 22's. Do you have fender wells in the engine compartment? If not, would you mind posting a picture with the hood open at ride height and at full dump to show where the wheels set at either height. Also one that shows the gap between the front tire and the firewall at full dump. Thanks, I hope I'm not asking too much. I love your truck it looks amazing.

c10hunting · 03-31-2009, 08:15 PM

Can you get a pic at ride height if you have the time?

With a Dropmember the stock wheel wells are long gone! I will get some shots a ride height posted soon, but with a truck that lays frame as this one does, you can ride at about 4" frame to ground (with trimming the front fender inner structure)

flamingbig10 · 03-31-2009, 10:40 PM

looks reel good

72BlckButy · 04-01-2009, 07:45 AM

I'm curious what project you have next inline....

andrewmp6 · 04-04-2009, 10:05 PM

Did you have to cut anything for driveshaft room or did the c.v. joint help with that.About how much you got in all the air ride parts on it.

crawdadfox · 04-05-2009, 11:01 AM

No cutting on the cab at all, but you will need to cut or raise your bed floor. With about 13" of drop in back a c.v style shaft was used to eliminate bind at full dump. I have 5 grand in suspension minus air managment system.

c10hunting · 04-09-2009, 08:52 PM

What's going on with this badboy? Did it sale? I need a 77 fix

aggie91 · 04-10-2009, 09:11 AM

crawdadfox

I just saw on Hub Garage that you sold this truck. Did you finish it? or did you get a new project?

crawdadfox · 04-10-2009, 09:40 AM

I still have the truck. I tried to pull the add off the Hub. but you cant, so i had to mark it sold. I had a ton of calls on the truck but everyone wanted to trade stuff which is the last thing i need! I'm looking to do a 59 wagon, so that will be next.

OrangeAnimal · 04-10-2009, 01:04 PM

Looks Sweet!!! I would love to have the one piece glass in mine but it's not a garage queen. Heck I haven't ever parked my truck in the garage. I got too much crap in there. LOL.
