Its all your fault too. I've been staring at tootsie roll waiting for that thing to get done for the past eight months debating whether or not to cut this one up.

Porterbuilt Crossmembers (two driveshafts)

Rear: Custom Porterbuilt "DROPMEMBER" (Weld IN)

Sheetmetal bed work by Nate. with wood bed.

ACCUAIR Dual Compressor set up with Key FOB remote

BIG Brakes: (leaning toward smooth rotors to maintain OEM style look)

Wheels: Still Debating It will be a 20 front 22 rear (Like to hear imput)

Made some more progress today. Removed the entire front suspension and crossmember; removed the entire rear suspension; removed the exhaust; removed the brake and fuel lines; and INSTALLED the new DROPMEMBER!:metal:

The new DropmemberV3.2 (it's pretty sexy if I may say so)
http://i390.photobucket.com/albums/o...e/DSC05549.jpg

I like a nice set of bare frame-rails!

Welded in the rack notches.

Just an FYI...

We will be taking the truck down to the bare chassis, and having the entire thing powdercoated.

This build will also be sporting our new "Bolt-on Body Drop" kit. :metal:

It's best to send me an e-mail or PM with your phone number and a good window of time when I can reach you. That way I can give you a call and we can discusss it better and then go from there.

The chassis work is all stuff that I can give a solid bid on. Most of the sheet-metal and some other types of work are all "time and materials".
