I would run this set up in just about any vehicle that I would build. Now that being said I am going to swap over to the new Coyote for my next build

Just something that has been in my head for years and I have finally begun the build process. All hand built and designed, their will be 5 different versions. Here is a pic but I will not be going into detail or doing a build thread so save you questions

Very Nice, but wait I have a question

Just kidding, I hope you do work up a build thread if nothing else but pictures documenting it.

nuke1 · 02-29-2012, 09:55 AM

Very nice build there Kevin. looks great and I see alot of fancy helper tools in the back ground!! how is the buisiness going?? I hope you are doing well, you deserve it!!

swifter · 03-05-2012, 02:35 AM

Kevin, thanks for posting the pics on the short box chop,did my box yesterday and this morning, frame hopefully Friday before I leave for my 10 day shift. Zero problems with the body lines lining up,spot on with your measurements! And to think I was going to trade my truck because I was bored with it! lol Now I'm thinking of a straight front axle and adding the 8" of cut out box to the front fenders for the "gasser" look. lol, Sean

Tucknuts · 08-08-2013, 01:28 PM

Ok maybe this has been addressed but I cannot seem to find an answer. When shortening the bed it was stated to take 8 inches from the rear and 20 from the front correct? I just saw an article stating 6 inches from the rear and 20 from the front. So I got confused and then went to LMC's catalog and noticed the swb side is 82 inches and the lwb is 100. Why did he take the additional 2 inches? Am i missing something?

Tucknuts · 08-08-2013, 01:29 PM

here is the link I was talking about http://www.truckinweb.com/tech/body/...d/viewall.html

watahyahknow · 08-08-2013, 01:50 PM

maibe they shortened a longhorn chassis?

Tucknuts · 08-08-2013, 01:52 PM

I think the long horn was 6 inches longer than a LWB

Tucknuts · 08-09-2013, 01:18 PM

anyone have an idea?

watahyahknow · 08-09-2013, 01:24 PM

it was a stock drop member for my Tahoe build. All Nate's DM's center the wheels.

100% correct, I think my pics may have been marked incorrect in the build. The front cuts in the bed that I made were to get rid of the gas doors I had in the bed. Exactly were you take out the 8" is not real important as long as you can get to both sides of the metal for adjustment and fitment before and after welding.

yeah but the drop member only effects the front. I have one on my frame but that wouldnt change the rear at all.

Ackattack · 08-10-2013, 12:11 AM

8" out of the rear, 12 out of the front for a total of 20

**SactoJim** · 08-28-2013, 11:26 PM

Hey Kevin.....saw your truck at Goodguys over the weekend. I loitered around for a bit to see if you would show up. Any takers yet?

Rokcrln · 09-06-2013, 07:33 AM
