Street Rod Sugar Daddy (Dino63's 78 C-10)

[grnddwn]

Ken was that the front of your Blazer need more pics. And for the record I perfer oranges but apples aren't as messy to eat. And I perfer trucks to lay on the ground but stock ones are earier to live with.

I thought about doing spokes to layout, but I went with 22's and 24's instead. I got my tires in yesterday, and the rims will be here in 3 weeks. I did our complete bolt-in kit and it served my purpose quite well with the tall whites, but now I am going up in size. I will still be using our trailing arms kit for the rear of my 65, and our tubular arms, but I have to order a dropmember, and I am going to modify my rear notch...I gots to get lo lo with my twenty fo's

like i said its all a compromise.

What pic?.... Since I didn't mean to jack this thread, and I certainly don't want to get a debate going in here, I'll drop out.

Nathan, you know my opinion is your product is the with out a doubt the best for certain applications. I just wish it had been available two years ago.

Maybe I was looking into the future? Or was that the past? You need to hurry up and get that thing done! And yes, we all need pics... I am tired of just hearing rumors about it.

Hey.... let's not make it personal. I called. BTW... if you guys have enough time to text me.... seems like you could have dialed just as easy . My phone 'buzzes' for texts & rings for calls (hence the reason I missed 'ya).

I'll see you @ GoodGuys?

Perfectly stated .

i thought kp's kit was bolt on...... even the notches you can order bolt on. +1 for kp.

[LUV2XCLR8]

How did I miss this thread, man that is flat

[copperchevy]

Clean truck. Any pics of the trans crossmember that comes with the kit. Will one bolt up to my 86.

The KP is 100% bolt-on and yes we do offer a notch that is 100% bolt-on to allow you to lay out on 20's.

Hurry Up ....

It showed up on Friday... the only problem is that I already shaved two bolt holes off the 12-bolt rear so the 10-bolt bracket I got the first time around would fit...

[babyblueoval]

Hey Nathan,

Does that 12-2 rear end solve fit issues?

I need to try to get some more room under the floor, that may be just the ticket.

Second pic is the new ride height.

Is there pictures of this trucks rear end with the box off? It would be cool to see install or after pics.

The install will be featured as a tech. article in Street Trucks here shortly. I don't want to jack all the pics before the article comes out. Once the article is out, I will post TONS more pics here on the board.

Well all i really wanted to see, or know was if you could lay pinch or body with one of these kits alone (no body drop). I am almost laying pinch now with a ART triangulated 4 link, but i am not real happy with it and am changing it out this winter. I was gonna change over to a parallel 4 link but after seeing this KPC kit i am super stoked to go that route. I just wanna make sure it will let me lay as low as i need to be. I am only running 17's now with 315/35/17 rubber so i am guessing it would be no prob as that white truck is almost on the ground with 22's. I may upgrade to 20's someday tho, so i need to know forsure that it would lay pinch. BTW that truck is sick, i can't even look at it without drooling!

There is plenty of room to lay pinch with the KP weld-in notch. With the frame on the ground, and the 22's out back there is still nearly two inches of room in the notch. They also make a bolt-in notch for the square body that will lay frame with a 20" wheel (not sure about tire diameter). Maybe Clint can chime-in.

[Slammed '87]

I already have a large step notch. My concern is if the actual 6 link will lay that low. Looking at this picture kinda makes me worried that it won't. It looks like his axle would have to be bottomed out in his notch to lay pinch, is that possible with this kit? Or is it just the way this truck is set up?

[Slammed '87]

another ? i just thought of, what was done with the bumper brackets on that white truck?

i think maybe the shocks are limiting that. or maybe it needs bigger dogbones. i know my friend had to make longer dogbones on another companies 6 link to lay.

This is the lowest 73-87 I have ever seen. I love it, hopefully mine will be at this point som day. Porterbuild would you ship to Germany?
