drop my 65 shorty

hi guys, hoping to get your inpu on dropping this shorty. I have a set of bags (4) but need the brackets. I also have a set of drop springs intended for my 69 c10, but could use them here. I want to drop it as low as poss. without notching the frame. I will be using the wheels and tires shown. THANKS!

Re: drop my 65 shorty

Nice truck man !!! It'll look sweet with that wheel combo, dropped !!

As far as the bags go, you can purchase the plates from FBI, or from a guy on here. Then, you can run lines to scharder valves. (if your not planning a compressor/valves set-up)

If not bags, then run the springs with some spindles.

Re: drop my 65 shorty

That's gonna look good dropped! I'd call ***************** and ask if their 67-87 front bag brackets will work on 63-66 as well. I bet they would. Here's the link. In the rear just bolt your bags in place of the springs. Might want an adj track bar and shock relocators too.
