Pretty sure its going were the left rear stake pocket would be. It's going to have a raised oak bed, and I want it clean.

I'm not sure if any one pointed it out but I think your upper ball joint should be mounted through the top of the upper a-arm. Just food for thought. By the way, that thing is looking pretty sick.

Re: porterbuilt bandwagen
sorry, haven't posted in a while. Been super busy at work and havn't had allot of time.

got the clip on, and i'm having some clearance issues with my rims. I may have to change up some stuff to make it work.

Who has done the drop member and body drop and 22" wheels?
they look like there not going to clear.

any input?

Can't remember what size tire, but it measures just under 30" in dia.
The wheels are 22 x 9 front and rear and have a 6.25 back space.

Re: porterbuilt bandwagen
