Lots of various 65 GMc questions....

[**grumpy**]

Whats up fellas.

I thinking about buying a 65 GMC short fleet. It is that, which is a driver, or a project 49 chopped, clipped chevy. The 65 is a nice, clean 350 4spd, new bed wood driver for 1000. cheaper.

Anyway. The 65 is a leafspring rear and I want it alot lower. I know the flip kits are available. I also have a 70's Camaro rearend, so I may just use it since we'd have to weld perches on anyway.
Opinions?

As for the front. Is one of the drop spindle/ disc brake kits the best way to go? I don't have alot of time to chase parts. We bought a new house last year, so my 15yr old daughters 63 bug is taking space in garage right now opposite mountains of tools and cabinets, and I have to work at buddys shop.

If I go drop spindles, disc brakes...Can I just buy a off the shelf dual master cylinder if I don't want power? Whats the best, most economical one to buy?

I've been laid-off 10 months today. I'm selling a 51 Chevy hardtop to finanace this build.

I need to get it alot lower, get 4 stock steel 15" wheels, and buy new tires, M/C installed for a budget of 1500. or so.

I already paid my buddy to do body and paint work on my hardtop, and the money rolls on to whatever I buy, so thats covered.

If any of you remember the gold 66 short fleet I had couple years ago, well, thats my gameplan for this 65 gmc.

Ok. Opinions, links to needed parts, general tongue lashings, or whatever you wanna say, do it now!!!

My old gold one for reference...
