The truck is bodydropped to the doors now, got rid of those rockers and its looking pretty now. The bed will get done this weekend and I will take some more shots as soon as I can.. Well what do you think ? Drag the front bumper off and get a rollpan or keep it ? I have a rollpan for the rear already. Thanks Bo

Bumper. Safety first :) (but don't actually drag it... because _real_ safety first).

The bumper has plenty of extra bracing as the front frame rails are laying hard.. I will drag it smooth. The whole body lays on the ground, the crossmember is barely off the ground so now I will be dragging body unless I put some kind of plate or blocks on the frame (I got a bunch of titanium)

The truck has a 2.5" drop spindles, 3"z with a 3.5-4" bodydrop, 2" drop BYC tube lca's, a 12" notch in the rear with a Byc Watts link to keep it all centered.

Cant wait to drag it I mean drive it down the road.
I Will get some more pics up ASAP. You can see on the body where I sanded it down to the ugly white paint to make way for the SAWZALL

looks killer. I say keep a bumper up front. Front roll pans make me think of Lund for some reason. And Lund and "gay" are pretty much synonimous.

12-06-2005, 09:30 PM
I'll keep the bumper until I drag it useless then maybe the rollpan or tweaked bumper.. I will get some more pics when I bring the truck back.

I HATE LUND ! The cheesy 2 hoodscoops they have make me throwup !

Pics soon when I get some batteries for the digi. I've been busy helping everyone else in my club, slammin there rides. I still havent finished the bed yet I wanna shoot myself in the head! Also friends dont let friends play with nitrogen regulators. Hit the front of the truck up around 450 psi and blew the front bags! Hopped up pretty damn high though. and yes it sucked, but it was well worth it lol ! He thought it said 200psi HA:Own:

A pic next to the new z71, a side shot of the raised floor, a sideshot of the truck and a pic of the bed on the ground with my drag bar welded on, to try ans let the body touch but maybe not destroy it just yet !

I have done some low low trucks before just using spindles and spring kits but never dropped the body like you did.I can tell you from my past hope you got some real flat roads where you live.I personally like welding in rollpans with no seams.Be careful when you getter done looks good.

I will post some more as soon as I get the firewall chopped off and the front tubs installed. With the truck being bodydropped almost 5" and the 3" Z the 22"s are taking up way more space and I plan to turn almost aired out and roll slightly off the ground. The drivetrain is out and the sawzall is ready, its seems I am always helping others and never get to mine. Thanks for the interest guys !

do you have any problems with the bascspacing on those centerline wheels i was looking at those but in 20's but was told the backspacing was to much....

Looking good man I have my entire firewall shaved as well!, as for SIXTY8c10 i'll try to post some progress pics of my truck 4 ya n sorry it took so long to respond just hardly been getting on, but i got tons of new pics so yeah. my bad though.

Here is a question. It may be stupid, but I am going to ask it anyway, haha. I am not sure how similar out trucks are but my bumper is level with the bottom of my rocker panel. Right now, I have 3" spindles and a 4.5" Z on my frame sitting in my garage and the bumper is 1/2" off the ground and the rocker will sit flat. If I wanted to cut the rockers off (red area) so that the doors layed on the ground, then what do I do about the bumper area (circled with ?)? Would I have to cut say 3.5" (height of the rocker) off the bottom of the bumper? Did you run into this?

camaro__thunder
03-27-2006, 10:36 PM
new pics this week for sure.... been working Overtime @ work l:banghead:

The bumper area: I am just going to drag the bumper FLAT on mine.

Like the crossmember and upper control arm rework ? I cant run 15" rims with my new lowers either they touch the rim with spindles.
I still have to drill the hole for the column, and wait for the underdash brakes to get here.

looks badass bro... are the BYC upper and lower arms? cant wait to see the 22's.....

camaro__thunder
03-31-2006, 09:39 AM
Thats a NO on the control arms... they are one-offs :) I am however selling the BYC LCA'S for $100 you would just need to make a center Shaft, get bushings and balljoints.

FnLow69
03-31-2006, 10:30 AM
ok the arms look sweet, i went with ART UCA and LCA.
