HOW TO: Traditional Body Drop

But other than that. Its basically just moven the floor up however far you wanna go. Then bracing the mounts?

You don't really mov the floor up, you move the body down. Hence being called a bodydrop. The floor stays in the same place in relation to the frame. The body drops around it, then you add the fillers and make it strong again.

nice one seth. for the question from above. the best in my opinion is to channel. keeps the frame and keeps the stock floor. ill post some pics ....


sorry for hi-jacking seth

Okay so do you have a pic of the body mount after bracing them?

No worries Bobby. Post your pics too, it will make the thread that much better.

Well now what in the world did you do there? Looks like you made room for JUST the frame rails to tuck up into? Could you explain what it is you did there?

Its called channelling. You lower the body mounts on the frame, and cut the cab where the frame would hit. Then fill that area in. Totally different approach.

Oh. Okay. Wouldn't it be a good idea to not mess with the mounts that hold the body to the frame though?
