71 and still playing with trucks.
Let me introduce myself. Official OG, I'm 71 and lowered my first truck (a 66 long bed in '84). I have a 57 pickup full-on hot rod in paint shop prison and a 82 step side K10 named "Show Plow" by my friends after I painted it Marina Blue. It's time to let the 82 go to a new home and I just picked up a 84 short bed fleet side C10. I'm putting in my son's old 350 we built for him in high school and a muncie 4 speed. I will add a posi and some mild gears. There is definitely some rust which is not a problem for me. I want this to be a useable truck for runs to the big box store and for hauling camping supplies and engines. At least 5" of ground clearance. Not a show truck.
My question is which lowering kit is right for me? I may see some winter driving including salted roads but not everyday. Money is not a huge issue as I want to do it once and right.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
