Touching! lol my truck already has a bodydrop by way of lowered cab mounts and a quick look last night, the body appears to be as low or slightly lower than the frame, so I'm looking to lay body

My bed sits lower than my frame, I have to see if there are any bodymounts, maybe they are missing. It does line up with cab though.

Re: 1969 C20 Lowered Custom
I'll try to take a pic of mine this weekend. I just brought the truck home last night in the dark so I'm still learning what 50 years of 'experience' it has

also, mine is a '61 on a '68 frame that could play a role.

Did you cut the frame and move up mounting point or chop the crossmember? Also what rims are those?

notched the crossmember so the frame rails would sit lower. The wheels are 18" 8 lugs off a dodge 3/4 ton.

That is exactly why I went for it and made my own, I cannot believe a new grille is half as much as I paid for the truck.
