Re: Raise or Lower truck?
Lowering a 2wd would probably be easier than lifting one. You could install taller/stiffer coil springs and get 2 to 3 inches, but I don't think lift spindles or controll arms are available. If you have leafs in the back, blocks would be easy.
If you have a 4x4, lift that sucker!  Here's my '66. 3" lift in front and 3/4" in rear, on 37" tires.

Re: Raise or Lower truck?
I vote lowered.. Raised 2 wd look funny to me.. Plus lower will get better fuel mileage because of less drag.. Ok maybe not alot but some..

Re: Raise or Lower truck?
I think the stock stance of the '64-'66 Chevy trucks is timeless. Some like them high, some like them low. I am a purist and I like them stock. They all have their unique looks. Here are a few of the trucks in my 4-5-6 Chevy truck collection. Long live the '64-'66 Chevy trucks, no matter how they roll.

Re: Raise or Lower truck?
be different than pretty much everyone else and rake it.
Mines already slightly raked, but i'm cuttin' some front coils here soon. Oh, and I came to this conclusion after my right front tire developed a leak. I loved the look. Plus, it will fill out all that space between the tire and fender.
