Had to film this one in slow motion to capture the detail of Connor’s welds on this lower control arm. Any guesses on what application this lower control arm is for? #porterbuilt #pbfab #dropmember #c10trucks #weldnation #weldeveryday #millermatic #c10suspension @barkleywelds@millerwelders #migliketig #migliketigthursday
We posted up a video yesterday of the Wireslinger welding up the ball joint cups and today that piece gets welded to the tube of the control arm. Tig welding the pivot tubes to the coped end of the arm is next, followed by the swaybar and shock tabs. @wire_slinger #porterbuilt #pbfab #dropmember #c10controlarms #c10trucks #weldnation @millerwelders #millermatic #migfriday
Connor knocking out a bridge assembly today for weld Wednesday. This bridge bolts between the rear notches and incorporates the upper bag mount or upper coilover mount, depending on the Dropmember configuration. It’s already been tacked together while in the jig to make sure it’s square and fits our specs. It then gets removed and welded up. @barkleywelds #porterbuilt #pbfab #dropmember #weldwednesday #weldaddicts #weldnation #weldeverydamnday
From start to finish this weld took 4 minutes and 4 seconds. That’s a long pass! You’re looking at our lower control arm for a C30 Dropmember kit. Unlike our C10 kits that use a combo of tube and plate, these are fabricated with 100% 3/16” plate. #porterbuilt #pbfab #dropmember #chevyc30

Nothing like a new part to kick off the beginning of the work week. Mary is welding up these rails for a 1973-87 C30 Inner Frame Stiffener. We implemented a few small design tweaks on this version. Our Inner Frame Stiffener runs from the transmission to the start of the rear suspension, often incorporating the 4-link or trailing arm mounts. #porterbuilt #pbfab #dropmember #squarebody #migmonday
Replacement Core Support Mounts and Crossmember to convert your 4WD K5 Blazer to 2WD are now available! Ditch the old factory components with stronger, sleeker mounts and our tubular crossmember. They bolt right into the factory 4WD frame with the included Grade 8 hardware and eliminate the leaf spring hanger. #porterbuilt #pbfab #k5blazer
Starting the week off with another new chassis build! We always start by tacking all of the components together and checking fitment before final welding begins. This is the front frame rail section and the first real weld for this chassis. After the front, middle, and rear sections are welded, they’ll get assembled on the chassis table, measured and squared up, then tacked, before being welded all together. #pbfab #portetbuilt #c10chassis #c10trucks #maythe4thbewithyou
Celebrating the end of the week with another chassis done and ready to head off to our assembly department. This is a Level 2 Coilover Chassis for a Dodge D100. This configuration will set the frame about 6-7” off the ground. It’s the perfect height with an aggressive look! The remaining parts will get mocked up before heading off to powdercoat. #porterbuilt #pbfab #chassis #dodged100
