New Ride
Well fellas, I picked up this 69 Chevy a few weeks ago. Let me know what you guys think. I'm going to start with the suspension: 2.5" drop spindles with 2" coil springs in the front and 6" lowering springs in the rear. Also front disc conversion kit and power steering.

Re: New Ride
Thanks for your comments. I'm new to this, so I will be needing everyones assistance. I managed to remove front drums, coil springs, inner and outer tie rod ends, and control arms today. Not sure if I want to replace the control arms or send them off to get sandblasted and powder coated. What do you guys think?

Re: New Ride
Yes, its lowered 2" in the front and I believe 3" in the back. The PO cut the springs (front and back). I purchased POL disc brake conversion kit w/2.5" drop spindles and 2" drop coil springs for the front along with a power brake booster kit . For the back end I purchased ECE 6" rear coil spring. I have big plans for it. We shall see how that goes.
