Re: 51' 3100 build in PA New to Site

you have a built thread? Its going to look high without the body one there. I wouldn't bank too much on the engine doing much of any lowering. Alot of guys try and take that into account but I can almost bet you your not dropping 1" with extra weight. The frame is going to look high too. the key to these looking low is the fact that the fenders and running boards sit so much lower than the cab. You really need the running boards on there with fenders to get the desired height.

also there is about a 2" gap or so between the running board and cab, they used a factory rubber to fill that gap, keep that in mind when moching up, its all hard to explain until you get body on and see how you want it.
