anyway i havent really measured mine but im pretty sure that in the front the frame is bout 2 or 2 1/2 inches with it laying on the a arms.. thats as low as you can get it without dropmember, pancake stock crossmember, or z the frame.. the rear on mine will get lower than that but im gonna set it up with some bump stops to keep the rear from goin lower than the front. my rear trailing arm crossmember has been flipped and i trimmed it to give some more ground clearance.. its bout an inch lower than the frame now

thats as low as I need to go, will cup the a arms and 2.5" drop spindles, will see if that is low enough.......Thanks Kieth

You are welcome over here any time. 918-446-2245

I'm tempted to do the same. to me laying frame is the supreme low... but there is a nice peace of mind knowing you can blow a bag on the road and not be laid out on the concrete.

awesome truck man.

Awesome thread...fun to watch the progress.

low 90 · 11-12-2011, 01:10 AM

nice! i wonder if the hood hinges will work on mine with a z. i like the truck man looks good!

coulter · 11-12-2011, 02:41 AM

if you z it you gonna have to make the tubs bigger...you wouldnt be able to go much bigger and still be able to use them

low 90 · 11-12-2011, 10:19 AM

thats what i figured guess ill have to break down and buy some

porter90 · 11-23-2011, 11:59 AM

im loving this thread! i like how you did the tub on the front too i think it looks so much better than taking the inner fenders out. i REALLY want to start working on my truck noww

here is a lil update

i ended up finding another 454 that was pulled from a running truck a buddy of mine had.. so i cleaned it up. painted it and started bolting some goodies on it..

also got the tranny cleaned up and my shifter installed

gonna try to get the mated together tomorrow and hopefully drop it in the truck so stay tuned!!

got a start on the bad spots in the floor

got the rocker off this side.. gonna repair some bad spots and paint it up then install new rocker panels.

still a long way to go but its a start

also got a new steering wheel thanx to yelton57
gonna paint it white i think.. not sure yet.. interior will be all black

low 90 · 12-17-2011, 10:55 AM
