I need to lose that gap in the front. Will 3" springs do that? Thanx!

Here is mine

64 with ECE 4.5/6 dropp kit

245/60x15 on front and 275/60x15 on rear
Wheels are 15x8 Eagle Alloys

This is my '65.

4" LMC coils and lowering shocks on the rear.
2" drop spindles and lowering shocks on the front with cut coils.

I would like to get a bit of a reversed steel rim going for the rear wheels.
Any suggestion where to go to get the widest, deepest that will fit with a set up like this?

Any help would be appreciated

I've already put my 65 on this page but I just put first gen Monte Carlo springs
in the rear because I cut the stock ones way too much and couldn't bolt them
to the trailing arms giving a harsh ride...great ride now!!! I am going to install 3 inch blocks tomorrow because it kicked my rear end up a bit. Gotta get lower!!!

What year Monte Carlo? How's it ride now? Took out my jeep springs because they were waay too soft.

oakstcustomz · 05-15-2014, 04:27 PM

Hopped up......I was told first gen monte but I'm not too sure! They are soft but I have not put a heavy load in the back yet....if I grab the bedside and pull down
it flexes like a rockcrawler!!!

curvedglass · 06-11-2014, 01:58 PM

just finished adding 2 1/2" spindles and 1" spring. I guess my originals were a bit worn because I only dropped 2 1/2" total. I like the rake to I am not dropping the rear

Thanks! They are a ton of work to make fit but worth it in the end. Cheap mods are always the best!

I dig those early Caddy caps too -

I have a set of early buick caps with bullets in the centers - Too deep a dish for the offset on my original wheels (which won't clear my disks without spacers anyway) and CAN'T make them work on the later rims I have on now!

Wall art for now.

Truck looks good!

Yeah, I bet! Those things are so damn deep, I was under the impression they wouldn't work on anything but a stock Cad wheel or something with a deep offset. I'd love to see how you made em work if you don't mind sharing

I love cheap mods too. I always try to do what I can with what I have. Which is why I ran '55 Buick wheel covers on my '75 GMC as long as I did!

64, Big Block, don't remember all the specifics, as it was done years ago. I know it has blocks and shorter springs in the rear, no c-notch (yet). Front is shorter springs and DJM lower control arms. Wheels are Front 17x8 245/50/17, Rear 17x9.5 275/50/17. Truck has had a 5 lug, front disc conversion using parts from a mid 70's truck
