I see well I am blaming on doing that mod that's in the link above posted by Nate so hopefully that should be enough if not then I'll buy the relocation brackets. To me since I'm not going to sell this truck any labor I put in to it is already technically wasted because I won't be paid, so I don't mind putting in work to the truck even if I don't use the brackets lol

Thanks! And I hear you! I've been in a couple propane torch special lowering job trucks... Wow! Felt like I was 4 wheelin! Haha

I agree! I'm very pleased with companies like cpp and ece to bring parts to the table that can produce an equivalent if not better ride then stock with a lowered stance my 67 rides awesome still!
