I'm going to try and post a pic for the first time, bear with me. Didn't work.

el curioso · 12-05-2006, 01:58 PM

hey 72slam did you paint the whole rotor or is that just an illusion the camera gives??

P.S looking great hope to be there soon.

72slam · 12-05-2006, 02:11 PM

The face of the rotors are taped up. I wanted to paint the center and outer edge.

BigShoe24 · 12-05-2006, 03:04 PM

I was wondering if anyone has tried the CPP Trailing Arm Kit or the Crossmember thats made for lowered applications? Im wanting to run them and was hoping for a little feed back before ordering them. I'm planning on mounting my bags in front of the rear end and to crossmember on front of my notch. Any suggestions? Thanks

Ok will this notch layout on a 29" tire? All the pics look like it doesnt have enough clearance. I am about to get one but if it doesnt lay I will have to find something else!

Nope, you will probably have to get a regular 10" step notch and bend it to fit.

67Fleet · 01-14-2007, 09:13 PM

How many of you guys that have installed the KP notch had to trim it down? I just unpacked mine and the top piece looks like it is going to have to be trimmed quite a bit.

sweet572 · 01-14-2007, 10:07 PM

i didnt have to trim any part of the notch

blazntn · 01-15-2007, 11:57 AM

Man I talked to KP and they will make larger notches. The top piece does hang over. YOu will need to trim it to get a smooth look.

Frizzle Fry · 06-14-2007, 03:30 PM

any updates?

**ChiefRocka** · 06-17-2007, 10:36 AM

Anybody heard from Clint ?? Is he even still around ??

John

blazntn · 06-17-2007, 05:14 PM

I dont believe he works with KP anymore. But, I am not totally sure about that.

67Fleet · 06-17-2007, 06:37 PM

I thought I saw a few posts of his in another thread in the suspension forum earlier this week. ???

He still works at KP. He and I have been getting everything ironed out on a new "kit" with Dropmember front and KP rear components for the 63-72 trucks.

revn67 · 06-18-2007, 10:38 AM

that would be an awesome kit!!!

Let me know if you need someone to do a trial field install.

64shortc10 · 06-20-2007, 07:31 AM

Any word on a release date for the rear kp setup for 63-72 trucks? How much $ are we talking? Any sneak peak pics? Thanks..

**lolife99** · 06-20-2007, 08:22 AM

I am interested in the "combo kit" with the rear KP set up! Please include prices. It may finally be time to spend some money!

Kontrol Phreaks · 06-26-2007, 02:16 PM

Yes I am back working at KP again after my 8 month disapperaing act. I've been posting in other topics lately that relate to my knowledge of suspension, product ideas, install suggestions, and products other things that I feel like responding too. Plus we're now a sponsor of the forum and we can legally post information to help everyone out.

Now for some update information. Thanks to Nathan Porter for spilling the beans, it is true we're working with Porterbuilt on some new products. KP Components is in the process of designing and building a bolt-on 4 Link & Cantilever system with a Watts link for the 1963 - 1972 C10 trucks. Our kits are all designed to work side by side with the Porterbuilt front crossmember to get your old school down on the ground.

" Are you off your rocker ? " then your not using KP Components and Porterbuilt products ....

We've completed some kits and have them out for testing as we speak. There's still some design changes and additions that need to be made to work with the various manufacture configurations that are out there.
The first truck that we completed was a 63 Chevy and it had the factory trailing arm setup under it. We designed the bolt-on axle pad to work on the angled spring perch so there will be no axle tube modifications required. I will start a new thread on here about our new systems and post a few pictures.

*** Please remember that these kits are not available for sale yet, but as it gets close to production everyone will be informed. We do not have a price figured out yet, but you can ask questions, or get on a waiting list to get the kits as soon as they are available. ***

Is it just me, or did you weld one of your notches in backwards? One is high on the cab side, the other is low on the cab side.

Damnit! There's another maxed-out credit card...

gringoloco · 06-26-2007, 07:26 PM

Any plans for something like this for the 63-72s?

Oh yeah, and:
