If you're not going low then you can keep the stock shocks/locations.
If you're wanting to go low then you'll need a C-notch and to remove the bump stops and brackets completely. You'll also need to relocate the shocks front and rear.
Bag brackets aren't needed in the rear, you can bolt D2600 bags straight to the frame and trailing arms. You won't need lower cups up front if you're cupping the lower a-arms.
FrizzleFry's post on relocation the shocks is the best way I've seen. I did this on my '66 and it rode and handled great.

Tire size depends on how low you're going. On my '66 with a 5.5/7" drop I used 215/75-15's on stock front wheels, and 235/75-15's on 8" rear wheels. Your 10" wheels will be too wide up front if you're dropping it much, and may be too wide in the rear.

Is that C notched? I want to lower mine but don't want to do anything to mess up bed space.
