3" dropped bell tech spindles, 2" shorter spring in front. re-arched the leaf springs in the rear and built a shorter shackle to get 6" out of the back.

Attachment 1224211

The old hot rodder in me could not resist the "big & littles" when it came to tires so the massive rear rubber on the 17" wheels picks the rear back up quite a bit.

Haas, that is a nice looking ride with a perfect stance!!!

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

I've had the drop on it for so long its hard to remember.
I believe I put a 3" front coils and 4" rear coils with an additional 11/2" block in the rear.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

235's will be really skinny I think. Mine currently has 235's up front, it doesn't look right in my opinion. I think 245-255's ought to be up front.

Love the long beds, yours have wood in it or is it metal?

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

5 in drop springs on rear. 2 1/2 in drop spindles with lowered torsion bars on front. Still a working progressed.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Welcome phatguy, I ordered these axles from Summit MSR-A3065GMT5

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Ultra do you have stock or drop spindles, and did you cut or remove your bump stops? Also how is the ride and could you go lower? Truck looks sweet!!!!!!! And I agree, no paint!

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

My '65 with 2.5" drop spindles and 3" springs up front and 4" springs in rear. Not much ground clearence up front! Crossing my fingers. I like the stance.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Hey guys, I've got a quick question for everyone. If you have a 6" drop in the rear, do you have to the frame?

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Everything I've read and the people I have talked to say that you need to notch the frame for anything lower than a 4" drop in the rear.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

I love the stance of your truck. I just purchased a 66. It's my first project. I have a couple questions I was hoping you might answer for me. I want to drop the front 2 in the front. is yours a 3 or 4" drop in the back?

Thanks for the help!

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66

4" CPP springs out back and for the life of me I can't remember what I went with up front. Thinking 2" but not sure. I wish I knew so I could order lowered shocks. Anyone happen to know the stock height of the front end on a 66?

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

not sure what front springs were maybe 3 inch they are ground force,rear are belltech 5 inch drop, gonna need to trim bumpstops about 1/4 inch gap up front and none in rear pretty happy with results before and after picsAttachment 1241193

Great looking truck! What size tires?

Chris

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Thanks, 255/70/15 on all 4.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

It looks like you still have a good amount of tire gap between the front fender. I would say it's a 2" drop coil. With companies like CCP, they have a generic lowered shock for all their kits. A shock for a 2" drop coil and a 3" drop coil is going to be the same.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

A little before and after-

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Great looking stance! What are the dropped specs?

Tim

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Hey thanks! No idea what the total is. It sits on trimmed drop springs up front and cut stockers with 2" blocks out back. Removed the bump stops and mounts both front and rear. Relocated the shocks up front. Pie cut the control arms. Mild C notch in the rear.

Its pretty much maxed out. I think I am going hunt for a set of Jeep springs for the rear. The rear is very "buck board-ish" right now. Front is good.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

thanks....I like it:metal:

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Awesome!!! You have nailed the look! Nice job!!!

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Finally got the stance where I want it. Jeep springs and 2" blocks in rear ece 2.5 spindles and factory springs in front.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

CPP 5 inch springs in the rear- 3 inch springs with 2.5 inch spindles in the front.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Thanks Man !

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Now that is a great looking truck!

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

x2, nice truck!...stance looks great as well.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Truck is PERFECT!!! Love it!! Exactly how I want mine to sit! :chevy:

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

I need to lose that gap in the front. Will 3" springs do that? Thanx!

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

digging the stitching on your bench, looks clean and ties the truck together

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Some great stance and lowering here.

I have a '66 Short Fleetside which has been lowered with heated cools etc a long time ago. THREAD HERE: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=585901
The truck behaves like a rubber duck on water when doing the bends.

It is fitted with a 350/3 speed auto combo that obviously influences ride height a bit.

I am looking at replacing the shocks and springs when I repaint and strip down the truck.

Brothers currently has 50% off on the lot.

My truck parked up in the garage shows these measurements to the underside of the fenders.

Front 27 1/4
Rear 26 1/2 on passenger side
26 on driver side


Does anyone have the stock standard measurements for these truck front and rear please??

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

The measurement from the fender lip to the center of the hub would be a better way to measure. Otherwise you have to take the tire size in to consideration. That being said I don't know the stock measurement.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

Here is mine

64 with ECE 4.5/6 dropp kit

245/60x15 on front and 275/60x15 on rear
Wheels are 15x8 Eagle Alloys

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 

This is my '65.

4" LMC coils and lowering shocks on the rear.
2" drop spindles and lowering shocks on the front with cut coils.

I would like to get a bit of a reversed steel rim going for the rear wheels.
Any suggestion where to go to get the widest, deepest that will fit with a set up like this?

Any help would be appreciated
