If by "stock drop spindle" you mean that will work with drum brakes the answer is no you will have to convert to disks if you want drop spindles otherwise Johnboy63 is correct.

my sons '63...we swapped control arms, spindles, and springs, (1 1/2 coils cut off) from my '86...removed 4 leafs from the rear springs...ordered a flip kit and c-notch, and hopefully get dropped spindles soon. currently it's dropped 2 inches in the front and probably the same in the back.

64 built for autocross and daily goofing off. NoLimit Wide Ride up front with cab and front clip dropped an extra inch over frame. Rear frame rails kicked up 5" with custom mounted coil overs. Probably about 7" up front and 9-10" out back.
Love all these trucks, good job everyone!

Also, can you guys shoot me in good directions for kits. All I have found is one supplier for the 5/7" drop. Thanks.
It would be cool if you guys had before and after too.

mines a 4-6 drop, the previous owner just heated the springs
im on 26.5 tires on 16"rims

plan to do CPP Grand slam kit with 5/7
also have a set of 22' GM Transports to go on next few weeks :), which I am really excited about. anyway, here is my ride so far, not quite done, but getting there. oh and its a 63, original short wide, not a cut long box

Budget drop: Cut 1 & 1/2 coils up front and put in jeep TJ coils in rear

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!

Went with 3" cpp springs up front and 4" out back. Decided to cut one coil up front. Also removed bump stop perches but left steer stop. Rides decent and I like the look better. Sat too high up front initially.

So my truck has some rake with the PO having lowered the front about 4". Today I got to see what it would look like with the rear done about 6". Maybe this is how they did mock-ups before photoshop? 2000lbs of cobblestones = 6" drop

I was going to go with 20's but I'm starting to rethink that now with how bad our roads are here in PA. 18's still look nice and allow you to have a taller side wall on the tires.

This shell belongs to a friend of mine and it matches it pretty good, but last week I picked up a nice "Gem Top" shell. :chevy:
