Anyone have pics of thier dropped 60ish? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Sp00ks65 · 09-10-2005, 09:48 AM

I'm looking for dropped, not slammed. I am trying to determine how low I want to go. If you could please tell me the amount of drop you have on the front and rear and rim/tire size.

Can I retain the stock rear stabilizer with a 4-6" drop?

My thoughts were originally 2.5" up front and 4" in the rear. I will buy new coils all the way around and had intended on doing stock coils up front but I could just as easily buy 1" drop coils and 2.5" drop spindles.

Just some random thoughts. I am preparing to start buying parts and wanted some feedback.

Thanks,

If you go to http://www.earlyclassic.com/home.aspx click on tech articles and then go to stance photos , they have all the different drops on a 60's truck

Ya, a lot of people like the later hoods more. I bought mine with both types(orig in the bed) and went with the later. I like them both.
