This is mine with stock ride height. I like the look of these trucks lowered but I do like to slide in and out of it without having to lift myself out. Part of getting older I guess.

Lol. Maybe it's just me but I'm sensing a theme here.

Here's a nice stock height build for inspiration.

I left mine at stock height for over 18 years... just dropped it a couple months ago.

Stock height 68.

I'm enjoying this thread. If I ever finish mine, it will be stock height. The only way mine will ever be lowered while I own it is by loading 1000lbs of stuff in the back to move from one place to another. No offense is intended to those who like lowered trucks.

I was on the fence for a while about a slight lower but this is just what I needed. To me and in my honest opinion this is what I bought this truck for, these examples look fantastic.

Thanks to everyone posting.

50th anniversary Custom LWB C/10, factory AC, WC Jr. mirrors, full wheel covers (removed and stored away), added buddy buckets, tach, tilt, HEI conversion, and period correct bed tool box. Next addition will be front disc brakes. Driven daily and used as a truck.

The brackets are. The round mirrors are replacements from LMC, but were just like the originals...but without the rust. LOL

I like this look, same vintage vibe I am going for with my truck.

We have a lot of people come out to our little farm to do senior portraits and they almost always end up using my faded, dull, dirty old farm truck.

If I had a lowered shiny hot rod style truck they would NEVER use that for photos which is kinda funny.

That means you need to get another truck and give it that hot rod vibe so they have a choice. Betcha the old guys would go for it...:lol:

My 68 50th may have to come back to stock height

Not Sure if it is stock or is just sagging a little. Planning to upgrade all front end components this winter with 2" front drop springs keeping everything else stock.

My pickup screams 1970s with the Sigman Pitman slotted wheels that were bought new in 1973, headache rack, and the dual cb antennas. Still living in the 70's.

This terrible pic was taken about 1981. Ignore the model.
