It sounds like you just want to lower on the cheap. One of the reasons to get away from stock 62 suspension is better availability and cheaper bushings, more adjustability with springs, until recently drop spindles, discs and 5 lugs. I mentioned drop spindles and cranking the torsion bars as one cheap option, but if you want it lowered and plan on keeping it most guys will recommend converting.
I will get pics and post later. I am pretty sure it is mostly original. I only plan to lower it a little. I am not looking to touch the floor but when or if I decide to throw a set of wheels on it(20's or offset 18's and 20's or 20's and 22's), I want it to looking proportionally correct.
