thats what i was thinking, i've got a '60 c10 (in peices) in my garage now and was swapping out to a later crossmember and was thinking that was WAY wide.
yea, if i go with a drop leaf pack it will be a full pack. i've read that if you do one or the other (drop axle w/stock leafs or stock axle w/drop leafs) you may be ok with steering issues...but i won't know 'till i get there.
yea, i'm not looking to go extreme drop on this...and with budget in mind the parallel leafs should work fine. i'm also not looking to do 90mph either, just good highway cruising, but safe.
thanks again,
Chris

FYI, they make "full leaf packs" in 3" drops for the front, and 3"-5" drops for the rear. Check out Brothers, LMC, Classic Parts....they all have sets. But research what else is involved in this. I've read that when you use the drop front axle (3" drop) you have to modify the pitman arm.
