Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
You guys got me pumped over Porterbuilt. Order my front mild dropmember section a couple of weeks ago, which includes the following items.

DROPMEMBER MILD
TUBULAR CONTROL ARMS
FRONT BAGS
FRONT SHOCK KIT
SWAY BAR

Next in line
DROPMEMBER REAR MILD BOLT-IN
F9000 BAGS AND SHOCKS
POWER RACK
STEERING LINKAGE KIT
POWER STEERING HOSE KIT

I will post pics as soon as the work begins. Thanks to this forum for all of the useful information (1967 SWB).

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmember
I thought I would share this video of Project Lower Learning. We were happy to sponsor the complete suspension for this build. It was put together by Cerritos College in California.... look for it in upcoming articles in Street Trucks Magazine.

(Until I learn how to post the actual video in the thread you will have to click the link).

Don't forget a Dropmember now exists for the 55-59 trucks and the 47-55 first series is just about done!

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
