Thinkin on gettin one for a new truck. Need some ideas. Mr. Elpaloko's is the real deal for sure any others.
other good place for pics Slick 60's and check out the shop truck thread I started awhile ago, there are some good pic's on there.
Here's mine. 350/350TH and yes I know it needs to be a lot lower... By the way, I made the Roll Pan out of 16g in about an hour. Very simple and cost about $10 in material. If you are planning on putting one on your truck, consider making your own rather than spending $100 on one.
Thanks guys for the pics. Barrows good pics and a great link Jeems if you are on here needs some details on the under pinings of your truck. Fordiac same thing details on the suspension what did you use. Bftwcs great shot of the roll pan and now I know what it looks like with one done. I think the hunt is on for one. If I score one you will see a build up of it right here. Thanks again for all the photos.
Here's a really bad pic of my '62. It's got a Volare K-member with dropped lower control arms up front. A flipped and blocked rear. The front bumper is about 4" off the ground.
[ QUOTE ] How did yall lower those so much? Different front clips and lowering blocks in the rear? [/ QUOTE ] The blue longbed on the Supremes belongs to a friend of mine. He used lowered I-beams in the front, as well as a flip kit in the back with a bridge. The back could go down alot further. Well the front end was torn apart, he adapted power disc brakes and power steering from a mid 70s F-150. Pretty much all a bolt on affair, but lots of dirty work. BTW, the truck rides like a Caddy!
Thanks guys for all your photo's. Looks like the hunt is on for a good builder. Gonna place a phone call to Mr Elplako about some parts for these trucks. When I find the builder you will see pics and then pics of the build up. Stay tuned.
