Just Do It!!!

 

[DJTricky]

he can lay rocker... of if he feels even more daring he can cut off the 1 inch pinch weld and fully lay body

or cut that ***** to lay door.

Door that ***** if you're gonna do it

I heard doored rides dont last for shit.. the body starts warping and then welds weaken and then rust happens.. i have heard tooooo many horror storys..if i do it ill lay pinch.. and get a peice of "L" angle steel welded over it so its smooth with the rocker and paint it all to match.. so it looks like its laying rocker but still has the sturdiness

if it was to lay rocker panel, yea i think its worth, just laying frame is played out lol jk wish mine would lay out

thats the whole question.. it WILL lay frame.. but im debating the long term reliability of a full body drop

I think im sold on a body drop

Ive had as many bodydropped s10s and a friend has a doored s10... if you drive it the right way and dont rail it 24.7 it will last.....

traditional over stock floor.... that shouldnt enve be a question... stock floor is the only way to go if you do a traditional you will regret it once you cut the body up like that....

GOOD LUCK on the decision.... either way it will look sick as f*ck

i would do like cmcarr85 said stock floor body drop. what they will do is cut about 2-4" out of the top of frame rails and top them off. it all depends on how much you want. then they will lower your body mounts. there is more then that of cousreyou have to make a new trasmission ans drive shaft tunnel. zsection the front frame rails for the bunper mounts and other things here and there. but it will be better than a channeling. if you go to a site called www.ifcustom.com they have a lot of pictures of that styel of body drop.http://www.ifcustom.com/projects/subprojects/archives.htm on this link you can see all the work.
