Great job

seanrolandwood · 08-09-2014, 05:05 PM

Very cool stuff.

I might have a set of their frames here somewhere.

Pretty damn cool!!!

Jimbo0076 · 08-10-2014, 10:35 PM

So how much did you end up dropping it? Drop spindles up front?

6 inches in the rear and the coils in the front were cut (no dropped spindles) enough to give it a just a slight rake.

Kev and Rene, truck looks great ! Question Kev on lowering this way. Did you have any pinion angle issues ? I recently did the same drop on my 63 and the pinion angle is aiming up too much. Wondering if there's an easy cure out there or am I going to have to make my own wedge like lowering blocks ? I'm getting a slight vibration with it currently.

b.sharp · 08-14-2014, 10:01 AM

60-66, They make wedge shims to put under the lowering blocks. I believe they can be bought from several suppliers. They also have them in several different degrees. You just need to get a set and slide them under your blocks.
