Porterbuilt Dropmembers & 22's on my 77 Ebay truck - Page 4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Bone stock layed out, absolutely sic, love it!!!

I have had a few people ask about the C.V style driveshaft. It's basically a double u-joint set up that can take more angle and not bind up like the stock single u-joint. Most lifted 4x4 guys use c.v's on front drive shafts due to the angle and short length. With around 12"-14" of total drop, it was one way to get around driveshaft bind at full dump.

Damn that's a sexy rig.

What are we..... 'chopped liva' ??

copperchevy · 12-20-2008, 11:18 PM

It was shortened, right? Going to the local driveshaft shop and ask about this double joint set up. Mine has a little vibration at full dump.

NEVERENOUGH · 12-21-2008, 11:02 AM

I have got to say that is one of the sikkest square body trucks I have ever seen period. You now have me rethinking the prerunner me and the son were going to start building out of a 77 thanks alot.

csbatey · 12-21-2008, 11:35 AM

were did you get your double u joint what did it cost thanks chris

crawdadfox · 12-21-2008, 11:58 AM

Our local driveline shop was able to do the job at $375.00. The c.v yoke for a turbo 350 part #3103-27cv, the weld yoke for the driveshaft is #2-28-3817x, the center yoke for the c.v is # 7-0082 and the c.v yoke is part # 2-26-507. I went ahead and changed the rear joint as well, all three u- joints are the same...part #1-0153 The rear u-joint will be different if you have a 10 bolt, but all the other numbers will be the same (as long as you have a 2 3/4" diameter drive shaft tube) All these part numbers will cross to Spicer part #'s. So you should have about $295.00 in parts and $80.00 in labor...but being able to hook up your driveshaft....priceless!!

Thanks, and if i can "help" you with anything else let me know!

Prerunners are very cool, but...you dont have to jump to get in the lowered stuff!!

I will post pics when i make the trade in Feb. I have to get the motor rebuilt in the wifes '05 Silvy first unfortunately.

crawdadfox · 12-27-2008, 11:29 AM

Heres a couple pics. of my L.M.C "Poverty" rear sport bumper! Still need to make a couple adjustments, but was very satisfied in the fit.

tvblazer78 · 12-27-2008, 11:51 AM

Looks cool.. I love that look with the white, you just don't see that..

**N2TRUX** · 12-27-2008, 11:54 AM

Man that thing sit right. Even though it's on the ground it still has a little hotrod rake. I love em low, but they still need some rake to emit that cocky hotrod attitude.

The poverty bumpers work with the theme, but I think chrome would set it off.
