drop options
I was at the turkey rod run last week and several really nice trucks. One in particular, a '69, had an awesome stance. I tried to get a picture of it, but the battery's in my camera were dead. Anyways, I asked the owner what he did to drop it. He said that it was a 3/5 drop, with drop A-arms in the front and stock '72 spindles. I've heard of drop A-arms before, but I have'nt been able to find them for my truck. (also a 69) If anybody could help me out with some info, that'd b great!

Re: drop options
Welcome Charlie.
I used dropped a-arms from a company called SoLow years age, don't even know if they are in business any more. I thought the spring pocket hung down really low on it, but I never had a problem with them. I think drop spindles are a better solution. Good luck, Rg
