Thanks everyone!

Sorry i haven't been on to post any pics yet, went on vacation for a week and have been busy working the rest of the time. Here is a pic a month ago when I bought the truck.

Hi! I seen that you have your truck static too. I have lowered mine 6 inches in the rear so far with a flip kit and cut springs in the front. It def needs better ride being a lady lol, so ive already got a notch ordered, was jw how you did the front of yours to give it better ride bc the cut springs aren't doing it for me. Did you do drop springs and spindles?

Pics after we lowered it last weekend and sanded on her a little bit

jennsC10truck · 08-02-2016, 12:57 AM

Sorry they didn't post the first time. :/

jennsC10truck · 08-02-2016, 01:09 AM

Before and after pic.

A few ppl were asking what my plans are for the truck.....She still has a ways to go, but she's getting there. Still need to notch it, have an old school wooden steering wheel im gonna put on, weld up most of the holes in thee body where the chrome pieces were, sand her down real good, might do some custom wooden door panels, install a cd player with my truck box, amp, and 10, maybe shave marker lights (not 100% sure on that one yet), do some white walls, recover the seat, new dash pad, roll pan, a light body work, maybe switch over to a 67 front clip eventually, and paint her. The sky is the limit for me really when i think about ideas for my truck.

Sorry I didn't see that you had responded. My truck has lowering springs front and rear, with spindles also. Has 2" drop spindles with 3" drop springs in the front. Rear has 5" drop springs and 2" blocks. Small C notch as well. Front also has tubular control arms to help correct alignment with front and rear CPP big sway bars!
