Lowered the 67...lookin for your 2 cents
Well I lowered my 67 and I know that the shocks in the rear don't really do there job since they are to slanted to push the suspension down, I also know that the trac bar doesn't really center the axle very well so I'm already planning on getting cpp's adjustable deluxe trac bar with the relocation brackets for the passenger trailing arm but my questions are will that trac bar bracket fit with the stock shock bracket? And my second question is can I drill the rivets out on the upper shock mounts and reverse them, to make the shock more parallel? Thanks in advance!

Re: Lowered the 67...lookin for your 2 cents
Thanks Nate! That'll do perfect and that should fit with the new trac bar relocation bracket right?

Re: Lowered the 67...lookin for your 2 cents
What kind of drop are you running and did you have to c notch, the stance is really nice.

Re: Lowered the 67...lookin for your 2 cents
To answer your question, the deluxe bent trac bar mounts to the trailing arm and I don't know if it will work with the stock shock bracket or not because I got both the trac bar and the shock relocation kit at the same time and installed them, but with the truck lowered you need both anyway because just reversing the upper bracket wont change the angle enough to make an appreciable difference you really need the relocation kit.

Re: Lowered the 67...lookin for your 2 cents
Looks great. And it's great that lowered coils,shock relocating kits,and adjustable panhard bars are now available (thanks to ECE). But,we've been lowering these trucks "the wrong way" for 40 years and enjoyed them just as much as anyone does with "the right" stuff today.

Re: Lowered the 67...lookin for your 2 cents
The CPP rear shock relocation kit is very nice and for $55 shipped it's a great deal too.
It radically changes the angle of the shock and trust me you need it because you will notice a difference in the ride quality. Buy it you won't regret it. Here is a current link for it on ebay. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1963-64-65-6...item58a0410820 |

Re: Lowered the 67...lookin for your 2 cents
I'm still waiting for my shock relocater kit from CPP. Summit Racing said it was on back order.

Re: Lowered the 67...lookin for your 2 cents
I would order from their ebay store if the part is available because you will find the most up to date prices and a lot of times you will get free shipping where as on CPP's website store the prices aren't kept up to date and are always more expensive with no free shipping on anything unless they are running a special.

Re: Lowered the 67...lookin for your 2 cents
If they are on back order with Summit it's most likely because CPP doesn't have them to send. Waiting on the boat,I guess (or is their stuff US made?). Certainly worth a call. More likely,another vendor might still have a kit on the shelf

Re: Lowered the 67...lookin for your 2 cents
This looks great. Do you have the specs on this drop? Is it notched?
