Dropmembered Gen III SWB Fleet build
 

Here is the plan.

Front and Rear Porterbuilt dropmember's
Gen III motor and trans, most likely 5.3/4L60
Stainless headers and 3" exhaust
Vintage A/C & Heat
Stockish interior with aftermarket gauges
Steel floor Short Fleet bed
Fuel Cell Guy EFI Tank
Steel wheels with poverty caps
4 Wheel disc brakes
(2) 3 gallon aluminum tanks, Accuair manifold, 480 dual pack compressors
One piece windows

As far as the pictures. Here's a couple of where I'm at right now. I'll update when the parts start showing up and I make some progress. The front dropmember, air ride stuff and FCG tank have been ordered.

Re: Dropmembered Gen III SWB Fleet build
 

Glad to see you're back at it...It will be sweet when done. I would have loved some of those parts but you're gonna have an awesome looking and handling truck when it's all said and done.

Re: Dropmembered Gen III SWB Fleet build
 

Subscribed, where did you get that c-notch from? That's wicked

Re: Dropmembered Gen III SWB Fleet build
 

Nate from porterbuilt street rods. That where all my suspension will be from.

Re: Dropmembered Gen III SWB Fleet build
 

Just got off the phone with Nate. My control arms, center crossmember and the other misc items will ship out friday. I should have some picts of the rear suspension tonight. With any luck I will have a rolling chassis some time in May.
