How about some pics of Static dropped 60-66

[La Zona Imagery]

Front:
15x7 smoothie wheels
225/75/15
3 inch drop springs
2.5 inch drop spindles

Rear:
15x7 smoothie wheels

4 inch drop springs


I am not sure how I feel with the rake...might have to use 2 inch drop blocks in the rear.

Front: 2.5" drop spindles and 1" drop spring
Rear: 3" drop spring. Had a 2" drop block in there at first but it was too low.

Your setup is similar to mine, I’m going to be running 3” rear drop springs and 2.5” drop spindles with stock springs.

Just put the new wheels on today (posted under Tire/Wheel pics as well). 1963 C10, dropped 6" in the rear with ECE springs, lowering shocks, and relocation kit. Stock rear bump stops were cut about 3/4".

Front is dropped 4.25" by using 2" drop ECE springs and cutting one coil off. I replaced the bump stops in front with Energy suspension parts. I used longer bump stops up top (Energy suspension part 9.9143R) so when the car is jacked up the springs do not come loose. The lower bump stops (Energy Suspension 9.9101R) are cut to give adequate clearance. This allowed me to leave the drum brakes in place.

Tires are 275/55-17 on 17" x 9" wheels.

Hi, here's my '63 longbed :
Cut coils in the front, i dont know how much.
1"3/4 lowering blocks on the rear.
Front tires are 235/60R15 and rear 255/60/15.
I would like a little more lower but stance not so bad like that.
what do you thing about it ?

I have a 1962 C10 Panel and I have Q about static drop beacuse all of you know that I have torsion suspension in my front so I wonder howe much can I drop my frontend before it got crazy handling, can I drop 2"?

I had 62 which I dropped 2 inches using the torsion bars and everything still worked fine. You will need to get your alignment done though.

Great look.
And please don't take this as criticism, it's just something I started noticing lately. And I think it's caused by adding discs in the front which moves the front wheels out. When I go to discs, I'll be using wider wheels in the back, so it may not be noticeable.

What were the specs on this drop?

What size tires are you running?

[64jmb]

Here is mine.

[Robert Haas]

5 and 7 with a rear flip and a front dropped spindles. c notched and shock relocated on the rear. shorter shocks on the front with internal bump stops

Well here she is. 64 swb. First time getting to see and play with one. POL 3/5 drop springs. Will get another 2.5/2 once we do the disc conversion. 292/4spd 3.73 posi. Also as you can see in the last pic. The rear wheels are pushed back pretty far in the wheel well. Is this common when dropping the trucks? And what’s the fix? Shorter drive shaft? Thanks

You would need to move the entire suspension forward to center the rear wheels in the opening. If you look, the front isn't centered either.

I’ve been told that it’s just the driveline that needs shortening. I know the front ones are not centered from the factory that’s why most ppl will buy aftermarket to move them forward. I’ll do some more searching.

It's very common for the sb stepsides to have the wheels toward the rear of the fender opening. It is also common that the sb fleetsides had the wheels towards the front of the wheel opening. I don't know why, they just do.

You could probably move your bed back slightly but not enough to center it.

Shorter drive shaft will not move the diff.. research is advised..

How close is your bed to the back of the cab?
