Lowered Long Beds......(I need some pics) - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

lux hauler · 06-04-2004, 09:43 PM

I'm trying to decide what drop I like for my '72 LWB. Can y'all post some pics of your lowered longbeds?.....tell me what the drop is front and rear, how you got that drop (spindles, springs, etc.) and what size tire you're running.

Thanks
