Hey thanks man. I have been meaning to take interior pics. I will have to do that soon. But the dash pad, door panels and bench seat are all wrapped in black tweed. And since the a/c was removed I replaced the dash trim with non a/c pieces to clean it all up. and also added a wooden gt steering wheel. it's also got new black carpet. Its simple but clean.

muthstryker · 03-01-2011, 12:17 AM

So I have another question, is the truck actually body dropped? Or is it just the frame rails?

Just the frame rails. Technically it's not a body drop since the body didn't drop lower on the frame. But since it looks like a body drop its easier just to say that. Im not sure if that makes sense.

So like a stock floor body drop? Ya it makes sense now, new to all this so google is my friend. lol

broey · 03-01-2011, 12:48 AM

Yeah pretty much, except stock floor body drop came from when people were cutting the tops of their frames so the cab would drop down. And then doing traditional body drop on the front end and bed. I guess theres not really a correct term for what my truck has. thats why I use " " when I say "body dropped"....lol

Haha thanks, was asking because I think it would be cheaper in the long run to do it similar to how yours was done rather then a regular bodydrop.

Well it matters, back in the day a lot of dudes would do the traditional body drop and then they wouldn't have to raise the front crossmember. If you wanna do something like what I have, your gonna have to raise the crossmember. IMO raising the crossmember is the best way to go. You can z the frame or do what I did, but I cant speak for the drop members, Im not sure if they lift the member enough. Maybe someone with a dropmember can chime in on that
