thats a looker for sure texas

Texas1963 · 06-20-2015, 09:28 AM

Thanks, jondoh. I might get the 2" blocks for the rear to really bring her down.

mooseknuckles · 06-23-2015, 07:10 PM

my sons '63...we swapped control arms, spindles, and springs, (1 1/2 coils cut off) from my '86...removed 4 leafs from the rear springs...ordered a flip kit and c-notch, and hopefully get dropped spindles soon. currently it's dropped 2 inches in the front and probably the same in the back.

Old-Soul · 06-24-2015, 01:57 PM

I like that stance Moose. I'd like to get my 61 close to that.

dwcardfan · 06-25-2015, 10:54 PM

Still got a lot to do. It has 3-5 coil spring drop with 20's

That 62 is perfect!

64 built for autocross and daily goofing off. NoLimit Wide Ride up front with cab and front clip dropped an extra inch over frame. Rear frame rails kicked up 5" with custom mounted coil overs. Probably about 7" up front and 9-10" out back.
Love all these trucks, good job everyone!

Also, can you guys shoot me in good directions for kits. All I have found is one supplier for the 5/7" drop. Thanks.
It would be cool if you guys had before and after too.

mines a 4-6 drop, the previous owner just heated the springs
im on 26.5 tires on 16"rims

plan to do CPP Grand slam kit with 5/7
also have a set of 22' GM Transports to go on next few weeks

, which I am really excited about. anyway, here is my ride so far, not quite done, but getting there. oh and its a 63, original short wide, not a cut long box

Tortuga_64 · 10-06-2015, 03:05 AM

Budget drop: Cut 1 & 1/2 coils up front and put in jeep TJ coils in rear

junk4cash · 10-06-2015, 04:25 PM

Went with 3" cpp springs up front and 4" out back. Decided to cut one coil up front. Also removed bump stop perches but left steer stop. Rides decent and I like the look better. Sat too high up front initially.

Nacho_Paras N.L. · 10-09-2015, 06:37 AM
