I like it!

Paint the bumper bolts white and it will look even cleaner.

Thanks Boat, i changed plans on the bed floor. The metal bed floor will be going to St. Louis and i will install an oak w/ stainless strips raised flat above the c-notch floor. It will give me all the room i need for tanks, comp, fuel cell and all the other junk! Done the group buy one piece window deal so that is on the list also!

Re: Porterbuilt Dropmembers & 22's on my 77 Ebay truck

I need that look for my truck! Too cool, anyway I was wondering if you could give us a shot under the hood to see cross member(PB) and how everything else looks, like inner fenders and hood, thanks an great job!

Thanks, the shock mounts came with the Porterbuilt kit. I dont know if Nate is fabbing his own or using ART's, they do look the same though. Hows your truck coming along? You need to post up some pics, thats one sweet truck you have there!
