Hay guys..quick intro. Im Eric. live in southern VA. 41. been buildin cars, trucks and choppers for awhile now. I have a 15 y/o son who we just scored a SAWEET 78 c10 silverado for. 500 bones! 350/350, power everything tilt etc. I have never lowered a truck like this. I want to lower it but i dont want to have it adjustable or dropped to the ground. i want it dd. I been lookin around and like the stance of a 5/5 drop. Now, Im making my son foot the bill on this to teach him a little money lesson and also how to chase down parts and not necissarily buy a new kit for top dollar. Is there a way to do a drop other that buying new? I want something that will ride well. I hear negatives on cutting the springs. I am new to all these 2wd terms and how to's so go easy on me...

here it is and a few of my other projects iv done/working..
