20 Questions with ideas on my 65' stepside

I was playing with Paint trying to get some direction for my truck so I have a plan when all my parts come in. I choped these up in paint, they are rough, but im no proffesional. I just need to know what parts it will take to do the static drop that is kinda shown in these pics. I dont want it layin rockers, bagged or whatever but almost exactly like the picture.
I know from doing MANY searches (for all you smart as$es) Ill need to do a minor c-notch. Im thinking 3inch blocks and 2inch springs on the back with new lowered shocks. BUT Will I have to have shock relocators? Will my drive shaft pose a problem? Do I need an adjustable panhard bar too? I dont know when all of that is required. Or if I need a different set up.
For the front ..?? Drop Spindles (2 1/2"?) and 2 inch springs and shocks?
I want the truck to have a some rake to it, but as low as I can go without tearing up tires and my wheels all camber'd goofy.
I also chopped in a big back window because i like them. A guy off Craigslist sent me to the ebay direction and I am going to buy the big back window kit here in about 15 minutes. I wanted to see a fake picture of it first, so we will see how it does in real life.
I have an extra set of rear fenders that are really bad so im going to cut a 2" band out of them and stretch the other bad ones that are on my bed now.
