Re: 1972 c10 lowered
I think it looks great, I was curious to see it because not too many people do a 3/5 drop with springs alone.
Very advantageous to someone who has a truck with no spindles - like me - on my 68. Please keep posting your progress with the truck!

Re: 1972 c10 lowered
oh yeah, im grateful to have a factory five lug and front disc brake truck. 3 inch drop springs in the front with no drop spindle is kind of pushing it through, whenever i jack the front end up it almost takes the springs out of its pickets. makes for some very concerning sounds going back down

Rear coils or leafs. I have a '72 long bed as well but with rear leafs. I wanna do a 3/5 drop as well. Looks good.

Looking good! From what I understand, standard shocks should work fine in the front. Rear, I'm not so sure. -klb

Re: 1972 c10 lowered
3/5 springs on mine never rubbed on any speed bumps. Still not low enough for me so i put 2” blocks in the rear and waiting on disc with drop 2.5” drop spindles for the front. Truck rides amazingly well on the springs and relocated shocks
