need help with my 1947 gmc tipper

[finn798]

hi,

I have recently purchased a 1947 gmc tipper in the uk, its done 58,000 miles and runs sweet,
I am looking at lowering it and putting a set of 17"/18" alloys on it, its on leaf springs all round.

Can anyone shed any light on this for me as I am new to the american truck scene.

many thanks

sarg.

Have any pics? If its on the 47-54 platform there are drop axles,mono springs to complete mustang front susp for these trucks.

Hello Finn, I'm Camille. I also own a gmc tipper and I had done many experiments for my gmc like adding superchargers, replacing the speedometer and even lowering the my GMC.

You can lower down your truck by replacing the factory-installed shocks with a shock of your own choice that you can buy on car shops.

I've researched a lot about *link removed* and there are lot of shops out there where you can buy things for lowering your GMC. I've provided a link for you to locate a car parts shop but I didn't mean that you should immediately buy stuffs in this shop. I'm just giving you references so you won't buy expensive stuffs.

I totally agree with camille here... to lower down your gmc is just as simple as replacing that part of your car. you can adjust it again by the height of the shocks that you would use.
