Re: 55 apache porterbuilt
frame looks nice. curious if you did a step by step on the assembly, it would be good to see how it all fits together. looks like it's a full length frame rail minus the front bumper bolt on part, then the cross members also bolt on? and the IFS cross member bolts on as well?
what do you mean when you say the body and frame lay out at the same time? did I miss something by not being a bagged/slammed guy? |

Re: 55 apache porterbuilt
ok, got it now.thanks. that is one thing I did on my frame swap, get the body as high as the frame so it doesn't hit first on speed bumps etc. we have a few monsters in some of the shopping areas. wish I were the snow removal guy on the grader JUST ONE TIME! they would get a hair cut.
keep those pics coming, looks great. |
