dropping a '61
I see kits for every year but '60-'62. How do you drop these years? Just went and looked at the truck again, have not bought yet. It has coils on the rear. i thought the coils started in '63. It is a local one owner truck, been sitting since '92. Front does not have coils.

Re: dropping a '61
