Welcome to the board!! I have a 3/5 drop on my truck with 22" wheels and didn't do any modifications. With and airbag suspension i think you just have to c-notch the frame to get it low but the guys on here with bags can help you more.

Re: 20 " wheels for the 72

mxriderae, glad to have you apart of the board. You will be able to run a set of 20's with much modification, and a c-notch will not be required; it all depends on how low you want to go.

In terms of BS (backspacing), each truck is designed differently than another so be sure to measure once, and then measure 3 more times.

For instance, I could provide you BS for a 67-70, but the rearends are narrower than the 71-72 rearends. Depending on whether or not disc spindles were used, they may widen the front end trac. I would locate a reputable wheel shop, or a good buddy that has ordered wheels before, and make sure the measurements will work. No need to waste money on parts you can't run in the end.

Another note... I would lower the truck first and then order wheels. Just my $.02...
