1968 Chevy Long Fleetside

[longorange68]

Hey, new to the forum and I would like a little guidance. Have a 1968 Chevy truck fleetside longbox, looking to lower it and upgrade the brake system. Any tips on what vendor makes reliable parts? Looking to complete a 3.5'' x 5" drop. Any problems with clearance in the back for the frame? Curently running a 250 straight 6 with a SM-465, and I would imagine pretty low gears in the back. My ultimate goal is to be able to have a "glorified" driver, not a trailer queen, something I don't mind getting wet in the rain but at the same time, not every time it rains.

Rather tell you guys about everything I plan to do one day I will just talk about the things I think I can accomplish in the short-term, so I can have a reliable truck to run with my wife.

Anybody have any tips? Kinda new to this scene. Comment with some tips and lessons learned if you have the time. Thanks, Josh
