And here I was thinking mine inspired yours!

FRENCHBLUE72 · 04-03-2009, 11:15 PM

Whats up with the trailing arms? I could really use a set of those...

C10Sim · 04-22-2009, 09:37 PM

Nate if I lower my cab to 1 inch or so to get level to my frame will this setup still work? or would I have to cut a notch on the cab.

RunninLo · 05-08-2009, 09:31 PM

Just thought I'd post a pic of what I can only assume is the most up to date version of the carrier bearing ( no trailing arms here) x-member. This just arrived ups today and couldn't have come sooner I was so bored yesterday I was using my members only plaque as a stencil for my new Gucci inspired roof pattern

I got the idea while watching re-runs of "pimp my ride" while waithing for the weather to improve

Anyway here's the pics:

Josh,
PS: thanks again Nate for getting this out so quickly

I figured as much based on the shape but sitting on my kitchen floor it looked good both ways.

Could it be a '70 2wd blazer frame for a certain artist of the board?

PBFAB.COM · 06-03-2009, 06:03 PM

The chassis is basically Swingset's younger brother. It will be heading to Texas in the next few weeks. It will be become the platform for a high school shop class' project truck.
