Dropmembered trucks

[dv8customs]

There is a lot of Man Love for Nate over here. Nate builds the Drop Member and Suicide Doors makes the Raised Crossmember. Both accomplish the same thing. Thanks for sharing your build

It's not man love. I'd do the same thing if someone insisted on calling a Coy C-5 wheel a Torq-Thrust; a Vintec a Famosa; or a re-pop part NOS just because it's new. Lets just coin a new name: Swapmember (aftermarket c.members for extreme drops) .

Droolmember?

Hopefully I'll have my order in by the end of august and my truck will be posted up in this thread sometime this year

Here are some front shots of my buddy and fellow Dallas PickupsNPanels member.

It is a 65 LWB, I am going to get the same headers made he has. 1 & 7/8 equal length long tubes.

Heres one we've racked up alot of miles on. Installed the front and rear PB kit at Status.

[Sammy]

Ohh no, I'm no longer seeing the light in the tunnel. PB might be getting a call for the next project.

Read this thread last night, sent an email to Nathan last night. Ordered front and rear kits today. Did not tell the wife, she is probably going to kill me!

My wife just does not even ask anymore. She will call me and say "you have a bunch of boxes at the front door, do I even want to know" and I say "never ask a question you really dont want the answer to" LOL>

is your frame just gloss black powdercoat or did they do a clear also ?? looks killer

[texastrendz]

i think it is just powder, they called it a super wet black. your are right, it looks killer till ya touch it. makes you mad when you see greasey fingerprints on it. it does scuff easy. if i did it again i would do semi gloss, just for the wear factor.

Getting started

[jmedero]

Nice. I'm over in Pensacola working on the same thing. I think I scored a suburban frame that I'll paint then put all the pb stuff on then swap frames. I can hear the snow ball rolling down the hill now...... Once the burb comes off the frame all bets are off.

[jasonhall]

Got the rear almost complete on mine.. Anymore cool trucks to look at??

Thanks i got a build thread going in the 60-66 section (a suburan joins the heard) hope to have the body on saturday

[YBNORML]

Here is my 68 shorty. 22's up front 24's in the rear. 454 bigblock with a th400 for now, eventually I would like to switch to a tremec.
This thing has been in pieces so long that the front suspension is a dropmember version1. It is currently pieced together with factory pieces. Eventually I will swap to all PB parts up front.
The rear is a bolt-in dropmember.

[67cheby]

do you have a pic of how far those 24's come up compared to the bed rail ?? looks sick

[jasonhall]

Thats a sweet project

[YBNORML]

Thanks, i'll take some pics and post them a little bit later

[SCOTTMO]

Looks Dino..
