I'm doing a 3" SFBD over 20's with mine. It seems like that is becoming a normal number.

I'm going to bodydrop mine before spring bash.. I have an 01 S10 single cab..

This will be my first BD, I'm just going to do it traditional.. I have a few questions for you guys that have done them before..

1. When you talk about doing it a certian amount of inches and stuff, I always figured with my truck laid out in the garage.. on a level floor.. I would cut around the innerds of the cab and let the body rest on the ground.. then weld up the gaps.. Is this right?

2. Also, On my s10 I have everything figured out when it comes to cutting ecept the firewall.. Do I just need to cut out more than enough, lower by the floor and under the pedals.. and fill in the gaps? I dont really want to have to relocate the pedals and rework that part..


Like I said, this is my first one.. I just dont want to eff it up.
