LOL thanks guys. It means allot coming from a bunch of gear heads. Ya it's done, I hope it never gets paint. Although it would look pretty killer all shiney and new.

iehotrod · 10-16-2010, 01:28 AM

Yeah it will. But what you have no bad ass painter can duplicate the finish. They can try but never exact.

I always say I'm going to keep them, just as soon as I say that someone comes along and has to have it.

Call Nate and he will hook you up. I've seen tons of after market suspension stuff in my day and this stuff is at the top. You won't be dissappointed.

kart34 · 10-18-2010, 08:12 PM

I am also a Porterbuilt customer , I own a custom powdercoating job shop in Minnesota and see many fabricated parts on a daily basis. Nate's suspension parts are some of the highest quality fabrication I have seen . We will be starting a build thread hopefully this week. Delmo the truck rocks hope my long bed looks that well !!!

Delmo could you possibly tell me what the paint code is on your truck? I'm thinking code 525 Fawn or Cream color. Love the color and the overall look of the truck is completely awesome

Delmo · 10-23-2010, 08:31 PM

Hey 61 here is that pic you wanted, the tire measures 29 3/8 to the top. Don't laugh at my fenders, they're not done. LOL

Doin rear suspension on this 53, thought you guys might dig it.

Dinos63 · 10-23-2010, 11:28 PM

thought we might dig it! oh shhhh-t is this yours delmo?

Delmo · 10-24-2010, 11:19 AM

Hmmm that was strange, they should be up now.

No it's friend of mine that works in motion picture. He designed and built the Black Pearl from Pirates of the Carribean. I kicked the frame in the back and put in some bags.

DRTYRAT30 · 10-24-2010, 02:40 PM

Thats a clean 53' nice subtle chop. I dig the 53-54's wish i would of kept my 54, i put a lot of work into bringing it back from dead. But you know how it goes, it's all in the build then you want another...Nice work Delmo

northern 85 · 10-25-2010, 07:17 PM

Love the truck!! Do you have any pics of it fully aired up or at ride height?

Delmo · 10-25-2010, 08:20 PM

Jesse that car is awesome, I'm sure you hated to see it go. Great roof.

I think there is a pic at ride height on the other page. It airs up quite high but can't stand to take a pic of it. LOL

Dinos63 · 11-07-2010, 10:58 PM

Delmo · 11-07-2010, 11:01 PM

Hahaha thanks man, ya this thing is a riot.

creep · 11-08-2010, 09:14 PM

That's bad@$$!

I took mine out to test my tranny cooler and when I parked it I realised I had been driving it around town with the front bumper about 3.5" from the ground. I only rubbed the fenders once on a hard turn out of the parts store parking lot. Gotta love these trucks!

northern 85 · 11-08-2010, 09:36 PM
