Re: dropping my 65 gmc
Cheap and safe usually don't go together.Front coils and drop spindles and rear drop leafs are the way to go and the way I will be goin when I do it.
You could cut the front springs and take a few leafs out if you wanted to though |

Re: dropping my 65 gmc
probably a 2/4 if that sounds right. still green behind ears. not sure about tire combo. I like nice thick tires instead of low profiles.

Dropped springs up front is the simplest route until you want disc brakes, then go drop spindles.
