I'm thinking 5-7" drop....the front has 2 1/2 spindles, cut springs, and my old pie cut upper control arms. the rear has a flip kit, c-notch, and 2 leafs removed.

Re: "Ol' Blue" '63 GMC
Nice build! Have a question about getting your paint off.. Did you use a wire wheel on a die grinder hooked up to an air compressor or a 4.5" angle grinder? Very off topic, sorry, but I love the build and how it looks!

thanks! 4.5 " grinder, I don't have any air tools as I don't have a very big compressor.

Re: "Ol' Blue" '63 GMC
a little update...so we were having some drivability issues with ol' blue after the swap last fall and we didn't get much time to drive it, but my son has had it out for a week or so and found a guy that could tune it so he had him do it on Sunday and he found the problem/s....first of all it was tuned for a 4.3 v6..?(thank you PSI) and it was running really rich at idle and dangerously lean mid range. he corrected those issues and now it runs like a champ!

Re: "Ol' Blue" '63 GMC
Ol' Blue dropped by for a visit, me and the boy's installed a few goodies. we swapped gears from the original 2:56 gear set to some Motive Gear 3:73"s. we needed a different series carrier so we went ahead and ordered a Detroit Truetrac, and a new Moser cover cause the old one had a hole, and installed the wilwood rear disc brake kit... Ol' Blue is now a tire shredding monster! from a dead stop it will spin through all of first gear and let out a big chirp when shifting into second...lol. too much fun.
