Bartman thanks for all the info, I will post up a build or two once I get going. Gotta do a truck, just did these two cars over the last two years.

Nice are they on stock chassis or s10?
Thanks, 37 Buick is on S10, 47 cadillac has a G body clip.

I have a set of drop spindles if needed but I normally dont use them, I want to keep the suspension close to stock and then channel the cab and bed over the frame to get the ride height I want. I think I can get the look I want keeping the stock stuff, and the most maybe I will need 2" blocks on the rear to level things out. Not a lot of stress up front so I dont think spacers are a big deal but in the back I do not want to run them. I am not sure what wheels I will run yet, depends on what I have on the shelf.
Once I get an idea of what size wheel and tire I am using in the back I will mock them up and see what width rear I will need to use no spacers and then find something that works, could be GM or Ford, whatever will make it work.

Atommic your truck looks great, stance is pretty close to what I want, maybe a little lower in the rear but the front looks to be what I am looking for. I will look through your build and check it out. Are you running stock rear leafs and are there any drop blocks on there?

I have to look into the extended front A arms some more to see what the total cost will be vs the gain. I assume they need aftermarket brakes as well. I try to stick with factory parts for easy replacement if there is a problem away from home. Looking at their website I cant figure out what set of arms are the extended ones to look into them.
