Re: 67 suspension drop
There is a less expensive way to go for the front brakes.
I recommend that you use the stock disk set up off of a 71-72 1/2 ton, (If you get the 72 make sure you get the front suspension crossmember) and grab the power master cylinder/booster brackets, and pedal push rod. Grab a 71-72 rear axle. For the rest of it go CPP all the way. Get their 2"/4" drop springs, 2" modular drop spindles and disk brake bracket, 2" lowering blocks for the rear axle, Rear shock relocation kit, 4"/6" Drop shocks, Front shock reinforcement kit, Rear Disk w/e-brake kit and Rear sway bar. It will handle and stop like a Camaro instead of a pickup. Last edited by Xeen; 04-22-2015 at 03:08 PM. |

Re: 67 suspension drop
Brian , great pics , great looking build. I've been looking for donor trucks but found that they are few and far between around here or way over priced for parts. Gonna keep looking.

Re: 67 suspension drop
At the moment none. Just want to convert to disc on both ends.

Re: 67 suspension drop
I went pretty conservative with the suspension on mine and only did a 1/3 drop. I really regret it. I like the way the 4/6 drop looks. If I had to redo it (and I may one day), I would go the route that Xeen describes. Good luck with your build!
