67 stepside build question

Hi, new to the forum and would like some opinions. I have a 67 stepside I'm starting to build I've built some trucks in my day but it's been about 8 yrs since my last and there's so much new tech. Out since then I'm wanting to get as low as possible without cutting up bed etc.

Was wondering which was the best trailing arm crossmember set up CCP,PORTERBUILT, or Early Classic Enterprises thanks in advance for any help

I am interested in this as well. Been thinking of going lower.

Re: 67 stepside build question

All the cross members mentioned will allow about the same amount of drop with stock arms. If your upgrading the arms then I would probably go with the PB setup. I think you'll get the most drop out of Nate's design because of the straight arm and built in blocks.
Just keep in mind- once you lower your truck......it'll never be low enough until it's layed out!

I would like to say welcome to you from eastern Arkansas. Theguys and ladies on here are very knowledgeable and a valueable tool for help in your build. I am not a low rider type guy I'm too old for all that[or at least I feel too old] good luck and once again welcome

Re: 67 stepside build question

Thanks for the welcome,
I've had several lowerd trucks in the past 72 2wd blazer,71 suburban and some late model stuff but just did the spindles,springs,a arms etc. This will be the first one I plan on baggin and go to this extreme. I like'em slammed all the way down but for me i just want to get as low as possible front and rear with out cutting her up to much.

I'm leaning towards the PB thanks for the replies
