Quick and hopefully easy suspension question - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Hey guys, I got a 67 short box and just bought a 73-87 front end to do a brake swap, and have kept the rear end original. I've decided to do a 4/6 drop and assume I have to buy a kit for a 73-87 chev. Was wondering if this is gonna cause any issues cause of the factory rear end? Any info would be helpful.

No problem but you will need to lower the rear with 67-72 lowering springs and/or lowering blocks as a 1973 has a leaf spring verses a coil spring rear on the 67.
