Mike's 66 swb dropmember build
 

I got this truck a couple of years ago and have been driving it as much as I can. I just received my porterbuilt front and rear dropmember kit and I am ready to start tearing it down. Plans are to reuse the ZZ4 crate engine, turbo 350 and the 411 rear that came with the truck. I also ordered a set of 22" Coys that should be here the first week of January. The last 2 pics were taken yesterday, I forgot to set the date on my camera. Time to get to work!

I removed the dog house this morning. I'm going to try to store some these parts in the basement. I can see I'm going to run out of room in a hurry.

Wait! Hold on! Put away that wrench!.....
By looking at your opening pics, I think your build is already done. :D

Re: Mike's 66 swb dropmember build
 

Thanks for the encouragement guy's. Dino, I only hope my truck turns out half as cool as some of your stuff. I've been wanting to redo this truck for a while. The paint is a 20 footer, it looks a lot better in the pics than it really is. Not sure if I'm going to keep it this color or not. My wife wants me to paint it green.

Re: Mike's 66 swb dropmember build
 

i LOVE THE THE BLUE AND WHITE BUT I ALSO LOVE GREEN ON ANYTHING BUT TEETH!!:lol: HAVE FUN AND I BET ITS GOING TO BE KILLER YOUR OFF TO A GREAT START:metal:

Re: Mike's 66 swb dropmember build
 

What are you doing for brakes?

Can't wait to see this come together.

Re: Mike's 66 swb dropmember build
 

Jimmydean, funny you should ask about brakes. Got my order from CPP today! Four wheel disks. I had the calipers powder coated red. I think they look pretty cool. I hope to get the cab and bed off this weekend.

Re: Mike's 66 swb dropmember build
 

Nice progress!

Re: Mike's 66 swb dropmember build
 

Had my grandkids helping today. We pushed the truck outside to turn it around so I could get under my lift to pull the bed and cab off. That one pic is the drivers side floorboard. This is why I'm redoing the truck, there's alot of poor body work that needs to be fixed. I'm finally down to the frame so I can start tearing that apart. I'll be glad when I can start putting some of the new parts on.

Re: Mike's 66 swb dropmember build
 

I have got to see how this truck turns out.

Re: Mike's 66 swb dropmember build
 

I'm in. Great start and great plan.

Re: Mike's 66 swb dropmember build
 

I'm on board too .... nice start.

very nice work man

Re: Mike's 66 swb dropmember build
 

Still working on the frame. Got a lot of sanding to do. I hope to paint it in the next couple of weeks. I'm still waiting for my Coy's wheels. They should have been here a month ago. Now he say's Feb. 15. I'm about ready to give up on these and order something else.

Re: Mike's 66 swb dropmember build
 

A buddy of mine order some coys awhile back and it took right 3 monthes before he got them. I think that your truck gonna be bad a$$ when done. Keep goin on it.. I waitin on stuff for my 66..

Re: Mike's 66 swb dropmember build
 

Looking good. I'll have to stay tuned into this one.

Re: Mike's 66 swb dropmember build
 

Had a day off work yesterday because of the blizzard. Spent the day in the garage and got my frame primered. Today I got off early and got some of the pieces painted. Feels good to get some paint on something.

Re: Mike's 66 swb dropmember build
 

Great progress!

Re: Mike's 66 swb dropmember build
