Re: Dropmember in a 69 C10

Thanks for clarifying my view. I should have put it in general terms, not just my specific application.

This brings up another question Porterbuilt, not sure if it's been asked, have you checked out the weight difference? I'd love to see how much I'd lose going from the stock X-member, steering box, A-arms, and such, to the dropmember, rack, and either the strong arms or full aluminum vette stuff.

Granted, I'm driving a truck with the aerodynamics of a barn door, but losing some weight on the very front would sure be cool!
