Great post dude...

Lets see what I might have of interest. How about the AirBar install on my 77 Cheyenne? That's the latest thing I have going.

**67cheby** · 09-11-2009, 06:08 PM

raising my bed floor almost 5 inches and everything still bolts up like it should, the tubs are nice and tight to the sides and contoured at the top just like the bedsides, its one more piece of a gigantic puzzle

FnLow69 · 09-11-2009, 09:46 PM

Chopped my gmc 3" in front and 2" in the back and its actually working, which is good concidering its my first ever...haha
hope to have it almost done this weekend!

Custom trailing arm crossmember to route the exhaust through it and flipped the carrier bearing for my bagged drop.

Frame getting ready for bags with C-notch welded and air tank installed on custom crossmember.

Sweet man! Great job. See you're doing a shaved firewall and raised the tunnel as well....

FnLow69 · 09-11-2009, 10:29 PM

the trans tunnels been done for a while and the firewall is next after the chop is done...

smashingchuck · 09-12-2009, 02:02 PM

Digging the chop.

Tagg33 · 09-12-2009, 03:23 PM

Just got my Porterbuilt C4 DM prepped for powdercoat and I'm getting ready to send it out next week. My frame is light silver metallic so I'm thinking of going with a darker gray metallic for these parts.

JW76 · 09-15-2009, 05:15 AM

VA72C10 I am trying to do what you did with you crossmember (holes for the exhaust). What does the back side of the crossmember look like. Did you box it or anything to make up for any structural problems due to cutting the exhaust holes? Just curious if you could post a picture of the backside. Thanks and nice work!

JW76 · 09-15-2009, 05:16 AM

Forgot to ask... what size pipes can fit through those holes? Thanks for your help!

BACKYARD88 · 09-16-2009, 03:43 PM

Everytime I see the word "Stoked" I think about Ken's 77

5" rear springs and 1.5 coils cut off of the front. Finally started driving it this week!

Thank you. I posted a picture of the backside. No bracing/boxing needed. The factory crossmember has those large V-cuts out of it anyways so to me this is stronger than factory already.

It's 5" inside diameter pipe that's been smushed down to 4 1/4" on the short side roughly so 3" will easily fit with room to spare. The oval shape will also allow me to have room to shift left or right if needed to figure out getting the exhaust around the trailing arms.

VA72c10 what did you paint your frame with looks good.

Rustoleum hammered black spraypaint. It looks like a powdercoat.

IvelDesigns · 09-16-2009, 04:48 PM

my '50.

Drove it 4 hours from Des Moines to Kansas City last weekend, put it on the dyno for 3 pulls, did the burn out contest with new 305's, then drove it home.

VA72C10 · 09-16-2009, 04:54 PM

Sweet....nice burnout....where are the dyno numbers?

ummm, well, uhhh... i lost the paper...

Not really, but the numbers were nothing to get excited about. 214rwhp @ 4700rpm with 266 max torque.

It was runnin' real rich. I need to find someone who knows edelbrocks to help me get things in tune.

here are the vids:

Nice, I like that your goin with diesel power. My DD was an 07 Crewcab Duramax and I miss the diesel.

bludshaker · 09-19-2009, 09:11 AM

I am new to posting on this board but I really liked this thread! So here's what I just got back on the road yesterday! My 1970 step. Just reworked the whole suspension, and put in some new interior!

**N2TRUX** · 09-19-2009, 10:20 AM
