Re: C-20 lowering ?????

Early Classic has the stuff to convert 3/4 to 1/2, but I want to keep 3/4 ton stuff, just lower.I wouldlike to use either spindles or control arms, to keep the ride as close to "normal " as possible.

I found a set of lower control arms on ebay, but for a c3o, I wonder if they would work on the C20, both have dick brakes. Can any one clarify this???

Yes, they should interchange . . ..... http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...ad.php?t=35042. Check out post #29 on page 2 for Hollanders interchange info.

You could go w/dropped arms. Another option would be stock arms or ART arms for a 'HD' application & use air bags. That would give you some drop w/o losing your ability to use the truck as a truck & still maintain (or improve) the ride.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
