some progress is better than none right!!! I modified the body mounts for my body drop!

64shortc10 · 01-21-2010, 08:51 PM

Removed the rivits from my trailling arm x-member. My new PORTERBUILT STREETRODS trailling arm x-member should be here soon!

64shortc10 · 01-21-2010, 08:52 PM

And removed the shock mount x-member and started cleaning up the frame for the notches to be installed.

Love that last shot, looks like an old dog laying on the ground. Awesome!!!

NEVERENOUGH · 12-29-2007, 01:41 PM

Wow what a differant truck. Man looks pretty good in less than a year. Don't sell or trade it for a newer one just stay strong and get it done.

64shortc10 · 12-29-2007, 02:07 PM

Thanks guys for the kind words. Hope to order c-notch and axles next week! Question for Dino or Nathan of Porterbuilt, or for anyonyelse with a dropmember installed! I installed the power rack and had to bottom out the heim and sleeve to get my wheels semi straight. How much do I have to cut from the ends of the rack for some adjustment? Still saving my lunch money for the Kp components 6 link, but it will come! Later

I haven't posted in a real long time on this project. I finally started working on it again. I started tearing it down to a bare frame to swap over cabs. I found one with way less rust. the new cab is from a 65 long bed still big back window. Was looking for one with a tall tranny hump, but got this one for $200.00 thought i'd post my little bit of progress!

64shortc10 · 10-01-2009, 08:05 PM

couple more pics!

64shortc10 · 10-01-2009, 08:08 PM

also got a bed from a 62!

Thanks guys. I ordered a trailing arm x-member from PB and I have a 9in Kp components notch i'm going to have Kevin from LFD install. He has a set of 3/4 ton arms we will try and see if I can lay on those. If not I will be getting the PB arms also! I also plan on getting the Kp watts link and run sleeve bags in front of the axle, if thats how Kevin sets it up!

I recieved my new trailling arm crossmember from PORTERBUILT! Now I just got to wait till my next 4 days off to install it! After that my frame will go to Kevin at LFD for the welding part of it!

lownslw64 · 01-24-2010, 02:17 AM

looking good. glad to see your back at it! are you going to step notch it?

my67chevytruck · 01-29-2010, 05:14 PM

looking good.

64shortc10 · 02-04-2010, 05:17 PM

Had some time to install the trailing arm crossmember while my little one was at preschool! Glad to be moving foward on this project, slow progress is still progress! Porterbuilt products are great, a couple little taps and it slid right in. And the bolt holes lined right up! There are 3 mounting location holes, I put mine in the 3rd holes pushing my rearend toward the tailgate. I'm hoping this will center the rearend in the wheelwells when the truck is on the ground!
