5 lug Swap/Trailing Arm Swap in Progress
Here are some in progress pics on our 69' Step Side. We swapped leaf springs for trailing arms. It has a Super Track Bar from ECE and were waiting for 6" drop coils from Athey's Classic Truck Parts. We also swapped out the rear end from 6 lug to 5 lug. Still deciding on wheels and tire size.

Re: 5 lug Swap/Trailing Arm Swap in Progress

Re: 5 lug Swap/Trailing Arm Swap in Progress
ECE says I should not have to if I stay at 6". Any lower, i.e. bag it - I'll have to notch it.

Re: 5 lug Swap/Trailing Arm Swap in Progress
That's good news, no c-notch. I'm in the process of building a 67 SWB and I put 5" drop coils and I have to cut the bump stops about an inch shorter just to allow a little travel. If you need pics of the clearance let me know, send me your email address. I have the chassis completed, less shocks.

Re: 5 lug Swap/Trailing Arm Swap in Progress
Glad you didn't have to notch it. I don't like those things.
