Most the time, when I see the bigger wheels on these trucks, it doesn't really look right to me.
The stance you have with those 18's - I like the whole look.

It appears that you have 15" wheels, how close are you to the scrub line with 2 inch blocks?

I have only had my '64 for a month and plan on lowering the rear a little more. Rear tires are around 27.5" on 15" wheels.

I know it has drop spindles on front but don't know if anything has been done to the rear.

Here is mine - just put new rear shocks in (belltechs) and rear shock relocators since the ride was bumpy. Still a little rough so might need to do blocks and proper springs. Will take pictures to help clarify it looks like t=just cut springs causing this.

looks like stock arms due to the crud buildup but I may be wrong, this would mean I have lowering springs up front? If so I would like to do it proper with drop spindles at some point - anyone see something different?

Looks like stock arms and spindles in the front along with stock CUT springs. Based on the what I see in the photos, I don't think anyone put dropped springs in the front.

It does look like it could use a good scrubbing...:lol:

haha thanks - posted this in the general section as well and got similar response. I am guessing a proper drop spring would make the ride better or no?
Thanks again

62 with a 78 disc front end, LS/4l60E swap.
4" lowering coils in rear, 2-1/2" drop spindles with 1-1/2 coils cut...
Tires are rollers (junkie) maybe some knows the amount of drop for 1-1/2 coils?

Hey, what size are those tires and wheels? I'm in the market, and am trying to get some ideas. Thanks.

How do you keep your front cross member form scraping on the ground when you go over speed bumps and dips with a 6 inch drop up front?

Here is my GMC. It has 3 inch lowering springs and 2 inch drop spindles in front. For the rear it has a c-notch and a flip kit for approximately 6 inch (just guessing) drop. Had to cut out a square section of the wood bed directly over the differential for travel clearance in rear suspension.
