Re: Lolita
With your plans for it and after seeing how Choncho is turning out, I have no doubt this will turn out really nice. I vote to go with the Porterbuilt dropmembers, you will be happy you did.

Thanks. I really want to do a full PB truck. I have to do some home improvement things then I can do it to this truck. I will try to get the body as complete as I can right now. I think I'll keep these frame rails for the PB treatment while the body sits on a swb chassis for mock up.

Sheesh Chuck. You've not finished a project before you start another one. I admire your tenacity. You must be retired.

I have a swb roller lined up for now but I'll be keeping these frame rails for this project. I will do a porter built suspension when I get that far. This is just a side project.

Also found a flyer for Heaven Or Hell at a church somewhere. And 37 cents so I guess I paid less than 275 for it lol. Plus all the cross members are going to the scrapper.

The foam on the seat will need replaced. I got it down to the frame. Pressure washed it.
