All most on the ground! PB Style - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

C10Sim · 08-31-2009, 11:23 AM

Got the whole front works from PB and we are in the process of completing the rear. So far im really pleased with Nate's work and helpfulness. I will continue to post as I get more done.

If you have any ideas or tips put them out there.

Goals:
Have a complete rolling chassy with a starting motor.
Take apart and send out for blasting and paint
I would like to lay pinch welds...Just dont know how much mods that going to take due to my big block...

Im trying to go with a 24''x14 in the rear and 24''x10 in the front. Worst case senario, run 22'' up front.

Subscribing!
Nice work.
I have a PB Dropmember for a BB also,... so the pics were a great help.
What headers are you using?

Im using Sanderson Headers BB8, they are nice quality, require no gasket and run about $500 with ceramic coating and shipping.

Nice job!!!

72BlckButy · 08-31-2009, 09:12 PM

Wow... that is one nice install!

Okay, so we have the possible wheel sizes... what about the wheel itself?

Ive got the sanderson headers that require no gasket, but mine leak...I would suggest you use something...either a sealer or get some gaskets...

GVizzle · 08-31-2009, 11:30 PM

Looks Sick!

You're gonna need a Porterbuilt "Bolt on Body Drop" .

BigShoe24 · 08-31-2009, 11:30 PM

Looks Good! Keep it up! Be careful and make sure you can get some tires that are the correct size for what your looking for. Pickens get pretty slim for that size of wheel, Good Luck1

Did you contact Sanderson and tell them about your problem? They seemed pretty helpful when I purchased or maybe they just wanted my money!

Well im going to borrow my friend wheels to mock and take measurements. He runnin 24x10 smoothies with 225 or 235 tire, this should give me a good idea on possibilities.

lowdownstar · 09-01-2009, 08:21 PM

You can easily get 1" body drop on these trucks by dropping the body mounts an inch. I should'nt say easy, because those body mounts are a major pita to get off because of the rivets holding them on. Not to mention the other stuff that gets affected by body dropping an inch. The only thing I see bolt on about it is new body mounts that actually bolt on. I assume the bed will have some bolt on mounts too? Interested to see what he comes up with for a true bolt on. It wont be more than 1" though, unless you want to raise the floor.

It was just a joke but from what i've read your explaination seems true.

lmao, I thought I read a post that PB was talking about it. I read back through this post and looks like I took it hook, line, and sinker. Guess I need to lay off the crack pipe.

That's some funny ****.
