I have a 1969 that I am starting to redo so here are the questions I have I am changing from 6 lug to five lug.

1. I am going to lower it 2.5 or 3.5 front and 3 or 4 in the back would you guys go with Early Classic or CPP?

2. Which bolt pattern Early classic says 5 on 5 and CPP says 5 on 4 3/4. Which would you guys go with?

3. I want to convert power brakes and steering which kit would you guys go with?

Any advice would greatly be appreciated

I use only Early Classic stuff.

The bolt pattern, definitely go with the 5 on 5. That's a truck pattern and you'll be able to get a five lug rear end to match it as well as running normal Chevy pickup wheels. The little 4 3/4 pattern is for car wheels.

5x 4 3/4 is a truck pattern also.. it is the pattern for the toyota trucks 2wd. That is the pattern that I went to on my mazda to have a better selection of wheels for it.. but I would go with the 5 on 5 for the chevy, he is correct that is the normal pattern and have good wheel selection for the 69.. That is what I am going to..

I agree with Tx Firefighter on using Early Classic suspension components. Maybe a little pricey. But you get what you pay for.
