Re: Dropmembered trucks
Here is my 68 shorty. 22's up front 24's in the rear. 454 bigblock with a th400 for now, eventually I would like to switch to a tremec.
This thing has been in pieces so long that the front suspension is a dropmember version1. It is currently pieced together with factory pieces. Eventually I will swap to all PB parts up front. The rear is a bolt-in dropmember.

Re: Dropmembered trucks
Quote:
As I said in my earlier post, the front end of my truck was mocked up using a version one DM and stock control arms. Over the course of the last year I have purchased all the rest of the front end parts needed from Nate. I am still using my version 1. Now that I have everything installed, the wheels no longer clear the fenders. The wheels are FOOSE 22 X 9.5 with 5-1/2" B.S. The tires are 255-35zr22 for an overall height of 29" The way I see it I have two options : Option one : Replace or modify my PB control arms, I see Nate offers them up 1-1/2" narrower than stock. Option two : Replace the rims for ones with a better offset, if my math is correct. In order to run a 22X9.5 rim I need at least 6-1/2" B.S. Pics of the truck are available at post 221 of this thread. Hopefully someone here can confirm my thoughts, or provide other solutions? Thanks Jason

Wheel Backspacing: We have found that a 20x8.5” wheel with anywhere between a 5.25” and 5.5” back-spacing works best on the front. So with a 9.5" rim your going to want 6.25" or 6.5" of back spacing. Hope that helps. The narrower control arms would work too.

Re: Dropmembered trucks
67cheby: here are the pics you were looking for.
With the frame on the ground there is about 1-3/8 from the top of the tire to the bottom of the box rail.

Re: Dropmembered trucks
What size and brand are the tires on your truck ... ? Spec's on the wheels if you dont mind too .... Backspace etc , I assume it has the narrower rearend under it too. ..? I am building a 68 also and doing dropmembers on it also .. !
