I posted this exact question a few days ago in the 67-72 truck area. As for what Nate told you, that's good info. I didn't get any of that info on my thread. As for all the things you got to do, that's a lot of work for just 3/4 of an inch. I mean it wouldn't be so bad if you didn't have to raise the bed floor, but I'm not sure I really want to cut my bed out for not even an inch of body drop.

I then started to think about channeling the body around the frame. I understand you got to still do a lot of the same type of work that is required with the PB drop kit if not more, but at least with channeling it you can get more than 3/4 of an inch out it. Just my thoughts as I will be doing this in the near future.
