Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
cb... I hear you and speaking as an old-f@rt, dad, and Grandad, they are all that really matters, but in the balance of things you will get there and these shouldn't be hard or expensive to fab even if nobody is making them.
Tube diameter, saddle width, and so on... could be cut out on the cheap and the results would be dramatic. I'm also a fan of CaptFab's stuff. keep us posted and hug the family. rg Last edited by robber grin; 01-29-2013 at 03:30 AM. Reason: gramar |

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
Beautiful truck!! I have a 63 LB and am looking to buy a 4/6 drop and disc brake conversion from Early Classic as well. I was wondering how you liked your kit for them and how the install went? Thanks for any info.

66 C-10 Small Rake will be going to wider rear and narrower front wheels and tires. A mild Pro Street look.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
lugnutking.com or you can get them on ebay, you have to widen the center hole on your wheels to get them to slip through and fit over the wheel hubs..

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66
Is that 5.5 inches in the front or 2.5 in the front and 3 in the rear? If it is 5.5 in the front that is really low have fun with speed bumps.
