Cut those stops off, Dads r/w. I have no stops in mine and I do not bottom with 3" coils and 2.5" spindles.

**Corts60** · 02-11-2009, 01:18 AM

Nothing special on mine. 2" blocks in the rear and the front torsion bars backed off a bit in the front to level it out. All done by PO.

I would like to go a little a lower in the future, but I have never done any suspension work before and may need a little advice from you guys....

cogorman · 02-11-2009, 01:22 AM

DaddyMack · 02-11-2009, 06:45 PM

2.5" drop spindles in front and 5" drop coils in rear... verrrrry simple.. verrrrry easy...lol.. rides like a charm.. no issues whatsoever...

Here 'ya go. 2.5" Drop spindles, 5" Drop rear springs, no c-notch. Shock relocation brackets and a super track bar (adjustable). All from Early Classic Enterprises.I put the biggest sway bars I could find on it. It handles like a go-cart. A little rough in the rear. The front is fine. 15x8 wheels front and rear. 275-60 front, 295-50 rear tires. I had 160 pounds of railroad track in the rear of the frame rails, but just took it out to put in the fuel cell.

TheDark1 · 02-11-2009, 09:11 PM

Forgot to add, 1" lowered springs in the front, too. 3.5" & 5" total.

cogorman · 02-11-2009, 09:38 PM

Good looking trucks everybody!

"TheDark1" Do you know the backspacing on your rear wheels? Are the backs 10" wide or 8's?

"DaddyMack" What are your wheel and tire specs? They look nice. I like the door peep mirrors also. IMight just have to be a copy cat on the mirror.

TheDark1 · 02-11-2009, 09:50 PM

They are all 8" wide rims. The back spacing is 4" I think. I'd have to measure to be sure. The rims were bought at Western Auto about 1993 or so. I know I didn't special order them though. I'm trying to find some 10" or 12" wide slots for the back. The peep mirror I have came from JC Whitney.

255/45-18 all the way around without touching a thing...

American Racing Torqlite wheels. I don't remember if they are 18 x 7 or 8

i actually got rid of the peep mirror and put the big one back on. I think I like the look better, but most of all, I can see.

cogorman · 02-12-2009, 02:03 PM

good to know .. thanks for the response

Oregoon · 02-12-2009, 11:53 PM

Love your truck Corts!

Beautiful, and those are the tires I want to run on my truck, though I'm leaning toward blackwalls...

That said, those white walls make your truck!

rss396 · 02-13-2009, 12:40 AM

My old 1961 has CPP 4 inch rear drop springs and the torison bars cranked down until they drag on everything in their way. The ride is good but the dragging is bad. If your truck does not have torsion bars
not a problem. This pic is before the rear springs arrived and it is sitting on the bump stops in the rear.

rss396 · 02-13-2009, 12:54 AM

Add some snow and they drop a little more. But the traction is not so good. Waiting for spring.

muddpile · 02-13-2009, 12:14 PM

73-87 front crossmember, drop springs and spindles up front, coilovers and custom tubular A arms out back. Pro Street Frame with a Large Z front and rear.

hattybabes · 03-09-2009, 11:28 PM

Muddpile: very cool..... that is close to what i will be doing with my 60 gmc, with the drop and scallops ...... like it a lot.

where in sask?

muddpile · 03-10-2009, 09:06 AM

Haha, at the moment I'm like yourself, in Moose Jaw. The truck isn't here, however, as it's in winter storage.

c10addict · 03-10-2009, 10:21 AM

This was my 64 before the trigger was pulled and the dropmember was installed.. 5/7 drop I think...

orange66fleet · 03-11-2009, 06:06 PM

3in coils up front and 5 in coils in the rear, 215/60/15 tires all around.

cogorman · 03-11-2009, 10:43 PM

Cool truck. How does it sound with those cherry bombs way out back like that?

orange66fleet · 03-12-2009, 09:43 AM

Thanks, Purrs really nice and sounds even better when you give it some gas. PO had them under the cab and you could not hear anything, I always get comments on how good it sounds and its quiet in the cab too.

Imperial Kustom · 03-12-2009, 01:37 PM

my '62 before air ride. Its tough to tell in the picture, but ride height was 2 1/2" at the rocker. It was dropped as far as it would go and channeled (body-dropped) three inches.
