Cool. No airbag hassles. So, 5" springs and 2" blocks rear? And how 'bout the front?

[Brandon_70]

The rear is actually a leaf spring set up instead of coils. So there is a flip kit in back with shackles. Front is 3" spindles and springs. I just ordered the ac system so I'm saving up for the bag setup now.

At what point do you have to notch the back? I was gonna go for a 3/5 but I didn't want to have to notch it. Looks like it will hit the bump stop before the rail, but only 1/2" difference?
Just got my '69 and it needs all new springs and shocks... figure I'll set it up right from the beginning.

I think with a 5" drop u won't have to notch the frame. Mine has about a 2 1/2" notch with a 7" drop and I never bottom out

5" is safe for no notch, 6" is about 50/50- some people have no issues, others are not so lucky...

I have a 5 inch in rear and do bottom out sometimes if I have a few hundred pounds in the bed....

[Brandon_70]

I do not carry a load in mine but if I did I'm sure it would bottom out as well.

Sounds good, was gonna order 5" drop springs for the rear and I won't be carrying large loads... maybe a couple hundred pounds at most. I may go for helper bags if I wind up towing with it. Thanks!

Love the stance, if you don't mind what are the drop specs?

That big window '67 is the coolest truck on this site. I liked it better with the ralley wheels, but it is still bad a$$!

[1971sierragrande]

x2!!!!!! on the 67'

[chevyrestoguy]

Here's my '64:





Front: '79 Suburban front suspension, Bell Tech spindles, 1 coil removed. Lower control arms moved forward 3/4" to gain additional caster, 1-ton sway bar

Rear: Narrowed 12-bolt ('79 Suburban unit, narrowed a total of 4"), CPP 5" drop springs, ECE Super Track Bar, shock relocators, flipped front trailing arm mounts, 5-way adjustable shocks.

Wheels/tires: '60s vintage E.T. Supers, restored to original. The fronts are 15x6, the rears are 15x8.5 with a 3.0" backspace. The center caps are original, new oval ET Super caps (hard to find). The front tires are BFG 215/60-15 (to be changed to 225/60-15), and the rears are BFG Long Trail T/a Touring in 265/70-15.

These pictures are about three weeks old. It's currently undergoing surgery to gain additional ground clearance and to center the front wheels in the openings. Also, many of the dents have been removed and the fuel door access panels have been filled. The original patina is being saved, and we'll blend the paint on the repaired areas and distress it to look original.

SUPER COOL truck.
Great attention to detail and the wheel choice is perfect.
Thanks for the detailed suspension drop.

Today we are seeing more and more people throw on just a set of drop springs and complain because it rides like sh#t.
You are definitely "doing it right", the first time.
Love it.

Great looking trucks guys! Brandon - love the stance! You will love it when you bag it, though! #speakingfromexperience.

1978steven, love your truck...got some of that on my instagram (same name @502ms)

Thank you for the kind words, Keith. I've been a real fan of your stuff for a long time, and used your disc brake link as guide when I did my swap. I've always been a person who likes them low, but they HAVE to ride good. The difference between a truck with a crappy ride and one with a nice ride is sometimes just a shock or spring choice away. Some guys don't get it, and won't listen to advice.

I will be posting more stuff on my '64 link very soon. The last 2 weeks on that truck have been super-busy, and a lot of stuff got done. Ironically, it was pretty timely, considering all of the recent activity on the site concerning ground clearance on lowered trucks. I just want to wait until I get the chassis paint touched up before I start posting.
