We recently got a 72 C10 Highlander long box truck. We're going to cut it down to a short bed, and stuff a heavy 6 cylinder in it. I haven't messed with dropping these trucks, so I'm wondering how low you can go with stock engine cross member, and stock front control arms? I tried searching, but it didn't come up with any real useful info. The plan for the rear suspension is up in the air. This is going to be a budhet build for my little bro, so throw any ideas out there guys. Thanks Ryan.
