2" Drop Shackles, went from 10 leafs to 4, new tires, same size rims (16"), I haven't touched the front yet.
Any recommendations on lowering the front of a 3/4 ton like 3"?

Beautiful truck! Do you have more pics posted on the forum yet?

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 
65 Fleetside is that 6 inches all the way around? It must be the photo because that sure does not look low enough to be 6 inches. I'm sorry. I don't mean to send guess you. It is your truck and you know better than I do.

65 Fleetside 07-23-2013 08:13 PM

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 
Yes, it's 6 inches for sure and it is my truck. My brother built this thing from the ground up, over the last 20 years.
Sorry likaroc13, here ya go.

Alot of people don't keep the original emergency brake mech arm installed but I thought it looked cool there to the left and doesn't really get in the way at all and I'm 6' 1" tall.

These trucks just look right low to the ground they should have just came from Chevy that way

65 Fleetside 07-23-2013 10:32 PM

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 
I totally agree but I think they were more concerned back then with workin trucks than looking mean and sexy,,LOL:chevy:

Oh sorry the max width tire I wan to go wide without altering the body. If I go with a nine inch wide rim, what is the max width I can do without scrubbing my tires?

Depends on how low you want to go I have a pair of 275/55R17's on a 9 inch rim with a 5 inch drop in the rear but I had to roll the rear fender. That is a low as I can go right now without getting some bodywork done.

66-PMD-GMC 08-09-2013 01:10 AM

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 
Too many factors there... simplify... set the truck where it's gonna ride... measure from the inside most obstruction (frame?) to the inside of the fender and subtract clearance..
(I use 3 inches)
My rear tires have almost a 22" section width but my frame isn't stock. I could squeeze a 15" tire in there when the frame wasn't altered..

Nice looking Burb! Do you have any more pics? Would be nice to see them in a larger scale as well.

btw, you have to be a subscribing member to post something for sale...otherwise, they'll remove your post(s)...just a heads-up :chevy:

Very nice truck, no corners cut on this build, I just checked out your photo account. Congrats on the final product. I hope to tear into my 65 shortbed like this with my son when he gets old enough, he's 4 now so there's still time:-) Great work.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 
Thanks guys. My uncle bought this truck new and I've had it since 1988. My son has claimed it as his since he was big enough to talk so I just left it on the back burner. 4 1/2 years ago when he was 12 he started whining to start working on it. Originally we were just going to paint it and put wheels on it but it kind of got out of hand, lol.
