Lowered c50
I'm looking for some help! I have an original low mileage (30k) c50 farm truck that I want to lower on stock suspension. I would like to keep the original suspension and drivetrain since it's low mileage and runs great. I have searched and haven't found a thread on it. Does anyone have any advice? Pictures? Can I flip the axles on top of the springs? How much work is involved? Thanks for your help! CST

Re: Lowered c50
I can not help you out at all with the lowering. But I'll pass this on to you.

Re: Lowered c50
What needs to be done depends on what you consider 'low'.
This is some good info that would be similar to your C50 app.... http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=764215

Re: Lowered c50
May be cost prohibitive for the project but I think later model axle from say a Kodiack up to 09 would be helpful and it has a awesome disk brake setup too. I was wanting to build one but I never got much past planning and then the no time thing hit me with reality. Jim
