Drop done.....pic link - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Nova_Cobra64 · 09-01-2004, 11:24 PM

I just finished up the drop on my truck yesterday. I think it is around 2.5" in the front and 3" in the rear. Here is a link to some pics: http://www.306motorclub.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1353

The first three pics were taken today and the last three are previous pics for comparison.

That looks good. I may have to reconsider not painting the grill on my GMC.

Nice drop

What kind of shocks are you running? Have a part number?
Thanks!

I didn't touch the shocks that were on there. The fronts are Gabriels and the rear look to me like they might be the originals. They are in ugly shape, so I am buying some new AC Delco factory replacement shocks. As of right now, I have absolutely no complaints about the way it rides.......

Dude thank you for this post, my truck is in the shop RIGHT NOW having 4" rear and 2" front drop. Looking at yours 4/2 might make the rear almost too low unless I spindle the front to get another inch or so.

What size are those rims? My truck is a LWB GMC too, I bought a set of 15x10 and 15x8's for mine.

It may be overcast but I believe that grill is painted to match the silver paint, along with the headlight bezels and the bumper.

I like chrome chrome chrome

I'm going to get a chrome grill/top bar and replace the rear step on mine with a new (to me at least) chrome bumper.
