Another Dropmember version???? :) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

PBFAB.COM · 04-07-2010, 12:42 PM

Not quite ready for release... but close enough to show some pics of the coil-over version. It's pretty sweet, but the exhaust and steering shaft clearances will be some work.

sweet, what is this going to cost? also im guessing it works only with your a-arms? if you dont mind, please PM me the cost of the kit (DM, control arms, and coil overs)...looks great as usual.

HarrolLS1 · 04-07-2010, 01:58 PM

oooouuu wee. that is purty

JNJchev77 · 04-07-2010, 02:44 PM

Looks good Nate!

SCOTTMO · 04-07-2010, 03:05 PM

Very nice !

**67cheby** · 04-07-2010, 03:11 PM

NICE and that is a sweet Blazer

dirtyd_nd · 04-07-2010, 04:15 PM

That is what I have been waiting for!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Cost?

Raguemoe · 04-07-2010, 09:19 PM

That's what I'm looking for. Coilovers up front, big brake setup and some big wheels. And I thought I was going to keep my 67 somewhat stock. As soon as I finish my project truck I may have to bring the 67 by the shop!!!

Variety is the spice of life

*vegaschevy* · 04-07-2010, 10:12 PM

OH yes, this was what I was waiting for to do a dropmember truck... man thats awesome!

**lolife99** · 04-07-2010, 10:19 PM

We need more pics of the blazer.

c10seconds · 04-07-2010, 11:01 PM

I would love to have this set up. Im so close by the shop too! How convenient

noonzor · 04-07-2010, 11:05 PM

sweeeeeeet!!!

**Captainfab** · 04-07-2010, 11:21 PM

Very nice work as always....can't wait to see the finished product.

fastbagged68 · 04-07-2010, 11:59 PM

That is the blazer I'm working on for a customer. I will post pictures when the blazer is finished. The customer does not want a bunch of pictures out yet. Our deadline is to be done in August for the Good Guys Show in Pleasanton.

I will be cutting up the driver side header in the coming weeks to make the steering work.
Once this is finished I can write up how it rides. We are using Strange Double Adjustable Coilovers.

Do you think there is a header that will just bolt on without any mods?
Chevelle shorty headers?

m6z · 04-08-2010, 09:02 AM

Nice. Now I don't know what the hell I want to do............

nastyc10 · 04-08-2010, 11:54 AM

Nice job Nate! Can't wait to see more pics of the blazer! Is the ride height about the same as with bags?

dirtyd_nd · 06-08-2010, 09:17 PM

What's the status on this one?

Dale

draggin86 · 06-09-2010, 05:18 PM

very nice! got to love your stuff!

jkade · 08-22-2010, 09:54 PM

ttt....

decodan · 08-26-2010, 10:44 PM

Hey Nate,

Looks good, is that also what you are working on for the 47 to 54 years?

Let me know when you have something to show for those too.
Thanks, Dan

jlaird · 08-29-2010, 12:31 PM

what would the ride height be as compared to bags? And I would guess the ride would be stiffer than bags?

How nice would it be to get ride of tanks, compressors, valves, lines, switches and still have the look and feel of bags????

Nate, we need some details. Can you retrofit a this setup to a current DM?

87oldie · 08-29-2010, 12:36 PM

is this going to work for the 87's too??
