The rear had cpp 4in drop springs with 2in drop blocks. So 6in drop in the rear. The front had cpp 3in drop srings with a 1/2 a round cut off. Probably around 4.5 in the frt. Tires were I think G78s. It rode pretty nice for staic. Bump stops trimmed.

That's correct. The patina is natural, the wheels and engine compartment have been painted, that's it.

Some really nice trucks here...Question about drop springs: Has anyone noticed settlement after a while using drop springs? IOW...if I use 2.5 drop sprindles with 2" drop springs can I expect more than a 4.5" drop after say 500 miles or so?

This is for anyone that can answer it. Anyone with 2/4 drop or more could you tell me your mesurement from flat ground to fender lip.

Thanks in advance.

This truck is awesome, I don't know how I feel about the wire wheels, but the rest of the truck is almost identical to how I see my truck turning out over the next few years.

Charleston SC, I'm headed down there this afternoon.

They became stock in 66.
But you could order many options for earlier years.
.
Many guys still add them today.
That may be the case here with his truck.

What stock steels do you guys run with that have front Disc brakes?

I'm going for a stock look but lowered.

Thanks.

http://https://scontent-a-sjc.xx.fbc...08667850_n.jpgthese wheels are 15x8" Camper Specials with 225/75-15 tires 21/2' drop spindles with 2'dropped springs and 5' dropped springs in back

Rickey-Lee 01-31-2014 01:25 PM

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 
I had the same problem Desert.Chevy. I found some 15" "Camper Specials" They are stock for our trucks so they use the hubcaps and there 8'' wide with an offset that will accommodate the disc brakes. I haven't figured out how to post a picture on here but you can check it out on the 60-66 chevy.com Facebook pagehttps://www.facebook.com/groups/191006017617783/ or my personnel https://www.facebook.com/rickeylee.rogers

Thank you, it's a 3 inch drop front and just TJ springs in the rear right now. Drop spindles and bags planned for summer.

Thank-you!! The floors are nice. The pass side rocker is the worst. As soon as this crazy weather changes I have plans to replace both rockers. I like this 64 because it's a factory air truck. Check out my post (Lucky Find)

That thing is perfect. Fix the rockers and leave everything else alone. I love it. I wish mine didn't have spots of new primer paint on it and a primer door or I'd do the same as yours.

I agree.
In fact, I wouldn't replace the whole rocker.
I would do something far less intrusive and just patch the rot.

New member. Just bought my 63' a month ago. I thought this should be my first post considering this was my first mod.
CCP kit -springs, shocks & swaybars
Front- 3' lowing springs with 1/2 coil cut, so it's probably 4' total
Rear- 4' lowering springs with 2' drop blocks, 6' total

That's actually a really good idea, I'll have to consider that for mine.

Welcome to the board ratride, that's a beautiful truck. Is that freshly restored?

Welcome aboard, & nice truck! Although I must say it appears to be a '65 instead of '63.
