Great post dude...


Lets see what I might have of interest. How about the AirBar install on my 77 Cheyenne? That's the latest thing I have going.

Re: time to get stoked!!!

raising my bed floor almost 5 inches and everything still bolts up like it should, the tubs are nice and tight to the sides and contoured at the top just like the bedsides, its one more piece of a gigantic puzzle

Re: time to get stoked!!!

Custom trailing arm crossmember to route the exhaust through it and flipped the carrier bearing for my bagged drop.


Frame getting ready for bags with C-notch welded and air tank installed on custom crossmember.

Re: time to get stoked!!!

Just got my Porterbuilt C4 DM prepped for powdercoat and I'm getting ready to send it out next week. My frame is light silver metallic so I'm thinking of going with a darker gray metallic for these parts.

Re: time to get stoked!!!

VA72C10 I am trying to do what you did with you crossmember (holes for the exhaust). What does the back side of the crossmember look like. Did you box it or anything to make up for any structural problems due to cutting the exhaust holes? Just curious if you could post a picture of the backside. Thanks and nice work!

Re: time to get stoked!!!

Everytime I see the word "Stoked" I think about Ken's 77
5" rear springs and 1.5 coils cut off of the front. Finally started driving it this week!

Thank you. I posted a picture of the backside. No bracing/boxing needed. The factory crossmember has those large V-cuts out of it anyways so to me this is stronger than factory already.

It's 5" inside diameter pipe that's been smushed down to 4 1/4" on the short side roughly so 3" will easily fit with room to spare. The oval shape will also allow me to have room to shift left or right if needed to figure out getting the exhaust around the trailing arms.

Rustoleum hammered black spraypaint. It looks like a powdercoat.

Re: time to get stoked!!!

my '50.

Drove it 4 hours from Des Moines to Kansas City last weekend, put it on the dyno for 3 pulls, did the burn out contest with new 305's, then drove it home.

It was runnin' real rich. I need to find someone who knows edelbrocks to help me get things in tune.

Got my Scott's Hotrods IFS installed Labor Day weekend and made it to the Midwest All Truck Nationals the next weekend. Sitting on rockers with 20's and 31" tires.
