Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
I would like to see pics of everyone static drops no matter how radical or ghetto they are. I'm thinking about buying a 5/7 drop kit from a supplier, but wanted to see one on an actual bodystyle like ours first. All I get is pics of 67-72 trucks. Also, can you guys shoot me in good directions for kits. All I have found is one supplier for the 5/7" drop. Thanks.
It would be cool if you guys had before and after too. |

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
What was the setup in the second picture? The third picture - what did you do? Put the rear back to stock and slam the front? Are those 20's?

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
here is my 66.. REAR: Custom boxed and welded c-notch 5 inch drop springs/drop shocks/custom panhard bar with custom mounts/ 3 inch blocks.. Total of 8 inch static in the rear.. Going to put in 250 pounds of lead on my frame for a total of 9 in rear.. FRONT: 2 inch drop coil.. (I think) somewhere between 2 and 3 in the front..
Drives?? Like butter.. power steering and disc brakes.. Stop, steers and goes down the road like a cadi. Love it.. Some done by me and the rest by Drop Shop in Portland.

BIRD7263 - Do you have problems with the back end bottoming out over bumps or down the feeway? I like ho your wheels are tucked under the stepsides.. what are the wheels and tire size? Are they just some stock steel wheels off of? |

Now for my wheels.. They are stock steel 15 inch wheels off of a 71 impala. Then I bought 3 1/8 bullet center caps off of ebay for $20 Drop coils.. Just start looking around.. Several companies make them.. They are all over Ebay.. Some times if you type in 67-72 it makes them easier to find.. Like chevytrucknut said.. You can make your rear 3 inch blocks easy.. I have a guy here in Portland that makes the steel blocks for $10 and then the Makes the u-bolts for around $40.. Easy way to keep your stock ride and budget good.. I could have ya a set made and shipped if you want..

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
Rear u bolts and blocks can be made for about 40-60 bucks. I have mine made at 11 inches. That allows for a 3 inch block. I also have 4 inch lowered coils in rear and cut front coils.

Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!
Chevytrucknut - Man the wheels on both of your trucks is what ive been searching for. Where do I get a set? The wheels on the black truck look killer. Do you have a side shot of the orange truck? I like the centers on it.

Jeep coils in back. 1" drop springs up front. Both found on Craigslist for less than $50 for them both. Currently she is blown appart and will go back together with bags.
