Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Should be narrowed and finished on wednesday. Then off to the powder coat and the axles will be her wednesday. So most likely next week the frame will be complete.

Thank you, this truck has never been hit so the frame was super straight and the powder came out perfect.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
So here is the update. The front is together. I have to cut the ends of the tie rods but I will wait until the rear is together before I do that. It went together super easy. I am really happy with how this truck is going together. The truck is not fighting me at all which is great because i am not used to that or maybe I am just getting lucky. At any rate I am waiting on the rear end and some hardware. So I am moving onto the cab tonight I plan on doing the fire wall and finishing the wet sanding.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
Thanks guys, I went back and forth on the front brakes, do I go with the big 14 inch rotors or the smaller stock ones. I just did not feel like spending the extra money so I will use these for now. Later when I build the tahoe/burb I will put these on the tahoe and buy the big ones for this truck. At any rate I think the truck is coming out cool. I am suposed to get the engine this week which will be cool.
