Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Looks very clean and gives that awesome added detail!
I don't know much about metal work, but would this easily bend? I would just hate to see those tabs get whacked by a ice chest since the bed floor is raised and bent/cracked after paint. If that is a concern, could you make some simple gussets to make that not happen?

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
Hey Mike, do the ribs end up flush with the square tube at top? I think that's why the above question-I know wood will flush behind sq tube-......jim

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
the cross brace is 1x3 rectangle tubing , the step out are 1/2 inch angle and yes the tailgate patch panel piece will all be welded together solid....nothing will be able to get bent

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
yes the ribs are flush at the top and the wood butts up to the other side just like it would have in a stock bed floor

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread
If you're looking for someone to do some awesome renderings check out ctpchevy's work...http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=458059. I saw some of his drawings in person a couple months ago, they're top notch...
Awesome job on your truck by the way. I absolutely love everything about it. I would love to do the dropmember setup and lay mine on the ground too, but I'm only 19 and I'm gonna have to settle with the static drop....for now lol. Check out my build if you get time away from your truck!
