Dropmember (Do you need to go to 2 pc driveline)
I'm getting ready to buy a dropmember for my 72 swb. My question is Do I have to run a 2 pc driveline??? Second How do I tell if I have a small hump or large hump tunnel???

Re: Dropmember(Do you need to go to 2 pc driveline)
its easier if you use a 2 piece , if you use a one piece you will have to tunnel the cab floor, on the hump if it bolts in its a high hump if it is welded in it is a low hump

Re: Dropmember (Do you need to go to 2 pc driveline)
so if you have a high hump you don't have to make a tunel ?

Re: Dropmember (Do you need to go to 2 pc driveline)
Kinda correct.
The high hump helps with the fact that you raise the engine/trans combo when using a Dropmember. If you use a 2-piece driveline you won't have to tunnel the floor for driveshaft clearance.

Look at this tech article from Nate's website.
http://porterbuiltstreetrods.com/sit...hristmas-time/ Lots of good info and pictures. What year truck are you installing the Dropmember in?
