Lowering a 1957 GMC 3/4 ton - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I recently aquired a 57 GMC 3/4 ton battleship and I'm wondering what my options for lowering it fairly low in the front (I already know the plans for the rear end). Fairly low means 5-8 inch drop to me. I'd like to use what is already there, no subframe install. Are there drop axles for 3/4 ton trucks? How many leafs can I take out of the front 3/4 ton springs before I have suspension travel issues? Any help would be appreciated!
