Re: '72 GMC Shortbed Stepside...last truck

I dropped a couple trucks before, but not a 67-72.


I did a bunch of measuring today.

The measurements to the tops of each wheel well are 33" if the tires were the same size.
(I didn't figure out if the tops of the wheel wells are a "level" measurement yet, just starting the process)

Now, the tires are 1" shorter in front.

I'm thinking I'll get the drop kit off Summt+drop spindles.
5" drop springs for the rear, and 2" on the front(the spindles are 2.5" drop)

Any minor leveling or rake I need can be adjusted with the wheel/tire setup, it should be minimal.

I'm looking for EVEN, or a VERY slightly higher rear end...




I know many of you have spent the time and money to figure this out already, your experienced comments would be greatly appreciated.
