Thanks a lt step side! There are a few different way to get your truck down to the ground! i had to bust my butt to be able to afford the drop member! if you really want the best save your money and you can have the same!

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

Looking good. I made the mistake of using a 4" hand grinder with a wire wheel to clean up my frame. Took 7 hours, I couldnt hear and my hands were numb for a day. I like your approach. haha

Re: my 86 Backhalf'd SWB c10

Damn this is turning out sweet. Your fab work is amazing, nothing like welds that look like a roll of dimes layed out. Its gonna be crazy to see your and Dennis's rides cruisin around Sac when you guys are all done. Im new to the site, but with builds like this, Ill definately be here a while. Makes me want to find a new project once I finish my 4x4

Thanks a ton dude! i got it from homedepot.. the trick to get it all off in 1-2 applications is use a wire wheel on a grinder it eats through the paint like a hot knife through butter.. the dropmember will be in soon! for good!
