:doah:Ahhh right. Forgot about that. It will just clear as it is, but it will be basically right on top of the valve cover but I will just do it...
Thank you for noticing! I'm glad you are checking out my body drop project. I have checked out your ride in MT magazine and on their website and...
Thanks!:D I like this part of the job a lot better than the cutting of the cab. I'll be moving on to the front of the frame soon. So what about...
I plated the frame on both sides and realized I had to open up the firewall openings on the floor to clear the exhaust and clutch linkage. Anyway...
That is an awesome collection of pics! I have seen a couple of the minitruckin mags with that truck build but the myspace has a ton of stuff....
Oh yeah, and I almost forgot, thank you!!! I couldn't have done it without your help! I was gonna wait til the end for the thank yous but you...
This type of body drop is referred to as a traditional body drop. [IMG] I cut the whole floor pan of the cab loose as well as a 2.25" strip...
I see. Once I got it all set up I couldn't wait to get cutting on the thing so I just made the call and went with 1.5" I figured another 1/4"...
Yep. Tomorrow I just have to move a few more brake lines out of the way and I think I am about ready to drop the body and the front part of the...

I still have some time to figure out the motor mounts so it's no problem. Funny you just saw a carbeurated '89. Nobody ever even believes me...
Thanks for the advice. So 1 1/2" dropped mounts with trimmed supports under the hood, maybe? I don't want to go too low with my oil pan.
You are correct sir. I was mistakenly under the impression that more offset = wider track width, not the other way around. When I was...
I want to fab some 1 1/2" dropped motor mounts, but in order to drop this much I might have to adapt the crossmember that spans the framerails...
Thanks for pointing out my incorrectness.:nana: I still don't really see how a wheel offset far enough to clear the ball joints and control arms...
I hate sawzalls too. If only I could use a portoband... I am sick of breathing carborandom dust from the grinding wheels too. My favorite tools...
Wow, so if I raise the motor an 1 1/4" and lower the front body mount 1 1/4" and 2 1/4" than my body will be 3 1/2" lower in relation to my...
