Your truck looks awesome. I have a 77 GMC short bed and I want it to look like that. Nice work!

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmembers & 22's on my 77 Ebay truck
crawdad,
i am glad to see that it went to a nice home. if the times were different (economy) i would have bought that before you & did almost the same thing!!! i had forgot that you bought that..... great job!!!, so do i understand right that you pulled out the 6 banger??? rodstored-72 p.s. was the truck in as good of shape as the pics indicated?? also did you find any surprises??? .... if you would not mind sharing... thanks!! |

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmembers & 22's on my 77 Ebay truck
Thanks, it wasn't as nice as the listing would lead you to believe, (thats ebay for ya!) its what i consider a 10 footer. But i was happy with what i paid for it..three grand less than the old bidding. I am amazed how 100% rust free the truck is, people out west dont know how lucky they are! I copped out on the 6 banger (sorry everyone!) i had the small block so i took the easy way. I'm glad you like it and thanks for the kind words from you and everyone else, kind of makes all the busted knuckles worth while!!

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmembers & 22's on my 77 Ebay truck
Whats your plan for the firewall? Was this an A/C truck?
I assume the 22's kill the chance of keeping the A/C box,... but if it's a non A/C truck,... Can you save the factory heater core?

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmembers & 22's on my 77 Ebay truck
Yes it HAD factory a/c, now its got a 22 in its place
As hot as it gets down here a/c is a must. They had a member with a super clean step side that posted a few pics of the Vintage setup. It had a clean firewall cover plate and must have put everything inside the cab leaving the firewall flat..just what i need!

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmembers & 22's on my 77 Ebay truck
That looks great If you dont mind how about a ballpark figure on the cost of the front and read dropmmber setups with bags.

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmembers & 22's on my 77 Ebay truck
I have right at $4,000 in the front and rear, minus the air comp. set up. With Porterbuilt running the Xmas special on the front you should get by a little cheaper.
