Porterbuilt bolt-in IFS subframe for 55-59 - Page 4 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ZR2RICK · 11-18-2013, 11:44 AM

The Porterbuilt site doesn't list any details for this 55-59 set up, anyone know the hub to hub track width?

With a CPP modular spindle it sets you right at 60" rotor face to rotor face.

thank you.

ChuckDriver · 11-18-2013, 05:16 PM

Any updates on the coil-over version or rear trailing arm setup?

I am working on a few other things that are currently at a higher priority. It is something that won't get bumped up on the list until we start getting some more requests for it.

ZR2RICK · 11-18-2013, 07:31 PM

Say does anyone know the specs on the Delmo wheels on the orange stepside?

Just you!

rsb5772 · 02-06-2014, 11:09 AM

And me! I'd love to have a bolt in. I'm confident in welding one in, but more concerned about making sure everything is square and it drive correct.

ChuckDriver · 05-08-2014, 10:22 PM

Anything new to report?

Its worth the wait guys, my truck drives awesome and Ive logged some miles on it.

ChuckDriver · 06-13-2014, 10:47 PM

I'm sure Nate and Del want mind me posting these "Classified/Spy shots"!!

Disclaimer: these are actually for a early Ford UniBody, but Nate says the 55-59 Chevy version is very similar!

**Dan in Pasadena** · 06-13-2014, 11:00 PM

Looks like this setup is away high quality but also only for super, uber, ultra low ride height..is that right?

Any chance there will be a more conservative version? I want my truck lower but I do NOT want air ride and I don't want to enter driveways diagonally, and all that bull****. Too old for that stuff now, I need a daily driver after I retire!

PS: Yeah, yeah, I know..."If it's too low you're too old" ha ha. Probably true but I'm still playing with trucks so I'm not THAT old yet.

ChuckDriver · 06-14-2014, 01:46 PM

Should be 5in at the lower rocker/step.

55Cameo · 06-18-2014, 10:04 AM

I'm very interested in the rear trailing arm set up for the task force trucks.

I will be doing some in my truck in the next month or so and would love to see some parts from you guys

lynx5653 · 06-18-2014, 07:14 PM

I would really like to see a kit that would keep stock ride height, not everyone wants truck to sit on the ground.

X2!

I'd like to see a 6-lug option too.

yossarian19 · 06-19-2014, 09:21 AM

Me too. If anything, I want to lift the front of mine 1" to level it out.
I'd thought Porterbuilt said they were working on a less dropped option..?

ChuckDriver · 11-23-2014, 10:52 PM

Bringing this one back to the top, cause I'm happy to say that I've received my PB Coil-over Dropmember for my 57!

Nate and Dave are two great guys that love what they do and it shows in the quality of their product and customer service!

I cant wait to get everything installed under my truck and put some serious miles on it!

Thanks again Nate and Dave!

76er · 11-24-2014, 09:38 AM

To the Porterbuilt guys, since this is made for a specific make and model will it be available with motor mounts already in place to bolt in a sbc or will we still have to mock?

ChuckDriver · 11-24-2014, 02:42 PM

They have mounts for the SB or LS!

ChuckDriver · 11-24-2014, 02:45 PM

Here's the LS mount.
