Lowering my 71 c20

[OgCoda]

So the past year or so I've been thinking about dropping my 1971 c20 long bed. I've got leaf springs in the rear also. I have been researching and found so many different ways to drop it but no one has really cleared up what I would need. I would really like to get as low as possible with a mild c notch. So basically what I'm wondering. Is.... If you were in my shoes and wanted to lower your c20 and not brake the bank, also keeping it 8 lug what would you do? The only legit looking drop spindles I could find are 400.00!!!! I'd like to do this the right way but this truck is just going to be a cruiser I'm not hauling anything. If you could take the time to clear this mess up for me that would be awesome!
