Outstanding, but I hope your running an overdrive with those gears.

Beauty!!!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

No way man stop light to stop light brother. Plus 29 inch tires it will be fine. my burb had 411 with 17 and it did 70 all day long

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Looking badass!! I love the brakes with your choice of wheels. Are you going to run a one or two piece driveshaft? I noticed on your project "Second Chance" you ran a two piece and I've always wondered how that held up to the blown motor? I plan on running some serious HP in my 72 but have always questioned whether a two piece drive shaft would be a week link or not. Thanks for the pics and keep em coming :metal:

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

WOW...cant wait to see the body setting back on !!!!

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

looking great

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

I have to run a 2 piece. Find a good drive line shopand have them build you a bullet proof drive line. I have had no issues with the 2 piece. Hope that helps.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Did you test that drive shaft in the 'Second Chance' truck? Full pull?

Love this build for your Dad, it sure shows us what can be done in a short time, and with a quality starting point. Well your dedication and mad skills help too.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

Thanks man and to answer the question. I hammered the 67 from a dead stop and had no drive line issues what so ever. Of course I had a ton of wheel spin. I think a truck is so light in the rear end it should not be an issue. That being said if you were running prostreet set up and you were able to get the truck to hook you cauld have some issues. But most of us are not doing the prostreet look and most of us are not trying to build 10 sec drag trucks. So that why I feel you should be able to build a a two piece driveline that can take the tq and hp.

Re: Pops 72 cheyenne dropmember build
 

I agree with you, I'm just fishing for knowledge from guys with experience. I've got a serious sbc going in right now, but really like this drop member stuff. So with that stout engine in Second Chance, you seemed like the guy to ask. Its hard not to step on it at least once.

Rumor has it Nate is working on a static height, coil over drop member; that will be interesting to me, perhaps the split drive shaft won't be necessary. Thanks for the info.
