The most comfort at 2"

Dino, can't wait to meet you and get to see the 66 in person at Goodguys Dallas. That green monster has awards written all over it plus it would be a great selling point on Nathan's dropmember for the guys that are on the fence about buying one and last but not least you'll get to drive that bad boy around the track on Saturday!

satin64 · 08-29-2007, 12:00 PM

man that is cool!dont even want to know what that k-member cost.all the green monster needs now is curb feelers

I'll tell you this: it's a ton cheaper than a Mustang II setup and a whole lot easier to install! In short: worth every penny you can't go wrong with this setup.

satin64 · 08-29-2007, 12:59 PM

now you peaked my interest......any more info on the k member?

Nathan, Im ready to order my air mang. system, but cant quite decide on what I want. Does Dino's66 have the big reds? Also, how big is the tank on the truck? Actually, I guess I just want to know what the entire set-up is.

Any help would be great. Thanks

Dino's running ART Big Red Valves, 3/8" line, Oasis compressor, 5 gallon tank, and plain old rocker style switches (Like power windows have). It's a very functional and simple set-up. He isn't even running gauges... the majority of guys will want to though!

Give me a call tomorrow and we can get something set-up... or call Clint over at KP and he will hook you up as well.

IvelDesigns · 08-30-2007, 12:22 AM

no gauges?!? I'd be really nervous running w/o gauges.

great setup on this truck though.

I look foward to meeting you and Nathan, and seeing the Green Monster! Hopefully while i'm there I can buy a set of cool hood hinges like the ones on yours. Thanks

I am wanting to know what you are doing with the steering I found a price for the drop member but how much more is it gonna cost to make it driveable

The steering linkage will run you $279 and a power rack is $250 (manual rack $230) through Unisteer. The power steering lines run about $100 for braided stainless and the rubber ones are $40 (I think), and the best source for the lines is Borgeson. I do not supply the steering components... just the Dropmember kit. Clint at KP can set you up with a COMPLETE kit. Current retail on the Dropmember is $1425.

mlane65 · 09-15-2007, 09:20 PM

hey Nathan, did you alter the wheelbase on Dinos 66 ,or did you just swing the trailing arms up and center your notch ? thanks for info!

I removed the coil springs and sat the frame on the axle tubes, I checked the wheels in the opening to make sure they were where I wanted them and then made my mark.

Nate,
