a stock floor body drop is building a new frame in which the body fits over leaving a stock floor. a traditional body drop is cutting the body around the frame in turn dropping the body down and welding patch pannels to fill the gaps.

as much as you want.. thats the glory of a body drop. however anything that hangs below the frame can and might get drug off. Most body drop it to the pinch or full rocker and shave their pinch.
