That was the best bench seat I have ever sat on. I might have some questions in the future on what all you did to the seat. I would like to done something similar for my '65 when I get that far...

Thanks again.
Had a great trip home without any problems....let me know when your ready and I will tell you what I did to the seat and what other things I will do on the next one.....

Now I have to clean her up from all the dust!

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember Mild Pictures
keith- where did you get the 3/16" bulk head fittings that you are using on that frame bracket? also did you buy or build that frame bracket? Getting ready to do my brake lines on my truck and I am stealing some of your ideas! Looks good as always. thanks

Keith, do you have any pics of this truck or others with this setup? I'm really curious about the stance. Thanks.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember Mild Pictures
Does anyone have any pics of an actual complete truck with a mild dropmember installed? I'm wondering how it looks with a body on the frame.... Or a comparison between two trucks one with a mild and one with an extreme so we can see the difference?

Maybe this is common, but excuse me for asking why do you have the battery on the frame like that? theres no chance of it catching on something and ripping off? seems like it would do alot of damage on the way off

The main reason for mounting them this way is because there's no room anywhere else and I don't foresee anything coming anywhere close to touching them. The only problem I see is the tires may throw rocks up at them but I plan on putting a rock guard on.
