Porterbuilt Weld-in Notch 63-72 starting at $175
This weld-in step notch is constructed from .188 P&O mild steel plate… not the standard Hot Rolled with all the mil-scale, used by our competitors. It is designed to be used on the 63-72 C10 chassis. It comes either tacked together ($175), or in a “mostly welded” version as shown above ($249). It is designed to allow the truck to lay frame on up to a 31″ tall tire, and can be trimmed down to be used in conjunction with a smaller diameter wheel and tire combo! It may be necessary to slightly trim the frame-rails in order to achieve perfect fitment of the notch. The pre-assembled construction makes installation a breeze. Want to have professional looking welds? Buy the mostly-welded version and have some signature PB welds on your ride!

DropmemberC4 $1299
Ever wanted to put Corvette suspension components on your C10 truck? Now you can! This front-end utilizes C4 control arms, spindles, and bakes from an 88-96 Corvette. We went the extra mile on this design, and spent countless hours tweaking the suspension geometry until we were happy with the end results. This cross-member does NOT utilize the Corvette’s factory suspension geometry… we made the necessary changes to optimize the performance when retro-fit to the C10 trucks! The DropmemberC4 is designed to be use with a Shockwave by Air Ride Technologies, and will yield a 5.5-6″ ride height with a 27″ tall tire. The pics of the blazer are at ride height with a 255 35R20. The rear of the blazer is a factory trailing arm set-up with coils removed and frame sitting on axle tube. The rear tire in the pic is approx. 27″ tall.

Keith Stephen’s “Project Hazel”
Well, Keith seems to have a “thing” for these trucks! Good thing we’re friends! He came across this clean 68 a few months ago, and decided he was going to give it more of a mild suspension upgrade. After a few months of moving forward in his original intended direction, he raised the white flag and had a bunch of Porterbuilt parts on the way! He has already installed the Dropmember, Porterbuilt Tube Arms, and Porterbuilt Hood hinges. Stay posted for the rear, as he will be running our newest rear set-up with the extreme drop trailing arms!

Porterbuilt Tubular Control Arms Starting at $1099
We’ve been building the Dropmember for years now… so we figured we were overdue on releasing our own tubular control arms!!! We decided to do a couple things different to set our arms apart from the competition! First, we incorporated a machined Delrin bushing into our arm design. We weren’t the biggest fans of the “squeaky” polyurethane bushings, and the factory rubber impregnated bushings have quite a bit of deflection, and are a pain to press in and out. So to solve these “issues” we went with the Delrin. No squeaks, no deflection, and of course a nice machined fit that can be easily removed for paint and assembly! Second we incorporated .5″ more drop into our arms than the competition…. who ever said a half inch doesn’t matter? we know better! Other key points include: new ball joints and machined billett cross-shafts; and the option of Chromoly tubing! No worries ONE TON guys… we got ya covered! We are also building these arms to accept the one ton and 3/4 ton ball joints. Need the arms either lengthened or narrowed from stock? We do that too!
Here’s pic of the Half-Ton (on the right) VS. the One-Ton arms (on the left)
