Static Drop Questions Need Advice

[RHGuyettejr]

So i have done some digging and been on here a while and I think that I have finally swayed from my 4x4 conversion of my 69GMC, due to time, and because I do not have the heart anymore to dissect an original #s matching rust free truck. That being said I want to take this truck -


and make it have the stance of this truck (photo credit unknown). Im pretty sure its from this forum, but I just did a google search.


I like the wheel wells to be just filled with wheel and tire, preferably a large wheel and lower profile tire, but not into the bagged look, although I do respect the time people spend doing these mods.

Im thinking I will need to do a 4/6 or 3/5 drop at the minimum, but I do not know what I am looking at to be honest. My truck is stock, so front drum rear leafs. I can do a leaf spring flip, or get a kit with different leafs and shackles, and they offer A-arms, or coils? I assume the difference is final geometry? Anyway post some pics of your trucks, and tell me what you think is my best option, because I only want to do this once. I know I may need a c-notch, but want to avoid it if possible. Some members say they have a 6" dropped rear with no problems, others are hitting, so I guess I will drop it then figure out what needs to be done. It's ultimately going to be a summer cruiser and that is it, maybe a trip to the icecream shop, but no hauling of any sort with the exception of my large behind, thats why I have my 98. I digress, any info is appreciated and cost is not so important as quality and streetability.

thanks again,
Jr
