The rear had cpp 4in drop springs with 2in drop blocks. So 6in drop in the rear. The front had cpp 3in drop srings with a 1/2 a round cut off. Probably around 4.5 in the frt. Tires were I think G78s. It rode pretty nice for staic. Bump stops trimmed.

That's correct. The patina is natural, the wheels and engine compartment have been painted, that's it.

Re: How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66

Some really nice trucks here...Question about drop springs: Has anyone noticed settlement after a while using drop springs? IOW...if I use 2.5 drop sprindles with 2" drop springs can I expect more than a 4.5" drop after say 500 miles or so?

Charleston SC, I'm headed down there this afternoon.
