1st pic is when I first bought my truck from my dad. 5" springs in the rear and 3" springs up front with 235/75/15s.

Just snapped a driveway shot of current stance. 3" springs up front with 2" spindles. 5" springs in the back with 2" blocks and a cpp c-notch, rolling on 215/70/15s

This one has the 3.5 front drop, but I can't remember if it is a 5 or 6 drop springs in rear No blocks or C-notch..

I thought it had the same ECE 4/6 drop as yours.

His front had only the 1" drop springs, mine had the 2" Your probably right about the rear , I just can't remember if it was a 5 or 6 drop in the rear.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
 
Going into my build of lowering it kind of blindly, I am hoping it turns out sweet. with the aforementioned stats of 2.5" spindles with a 1" lowering spring and a 5" rear spring. I hope it sits mildly level.

My 64 two coils cut up front and five inch lower coil and 2" blocks in the rear. I'm an old school guy that has never had anything with air ride ever. Everything I've ever had has either had cut coils or heated springs. I have to admit that I just ordered up air bags for my 64, I'm doing a 3"dropped lower control arm cup and keeping my drum brakes, still kind of old school I guess. The rear will be on air with the standard C notch.

Awesome stance, how much lowered in the rear, I am currently 3" in the rear with springs and 1" in the front, truck sits way too high in the front, I am hoping that if I put a 2.5" drop spindle instead of drop springs in the front this should fix my issues. I wanted a slight bit of rake so your setup looks perfect.

After I did the disc brake conversion using the 2.5" dropped spindles, I had to have spacers in the springs because the 11" wide tires were rubbing on the fender . But I stumbled across these 15x7 rims the other day at my boys wheel shop and now the tires fit in the front fenders beautifully!

Just 'finished' mine this weekend. 2" drop spindles and 2" drop coils on front. 4" drop coils in back with shock relocators. Only 'finished' because the panhard bar was frozen to the bolt. Will cut off and replace with new one this weekend. Have to look at what size tires.
