New to forum need some help

Ok heres what i got 70 with lowered front not sure if it has spindals or just springs,they got some kind of spacers in between the springs.The rear i beleive its stock.I just orderd 20x8.5 for the rear and 18x8 for the front with 5 inch b/s . I would like to go as low as possible but this truck has a bb and the headers are pretty close to the ground already.Not sure if i want air or not but if i can do it with air for around a grand that would be sweet too.Please any help would be appreciated.

Does the truck have disc brakes?

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Re: New to forum need some help

It's hard to say w/100% certaintly what you have (drop spindle vs. stock spindle) w/o having 1 known drop spindle & 1 known stock spindle to compare against. If you had drum brakes, we would know they aren't dropped spindles because they don't make drop spindles for drum brake applications.

You could always get drop spindles & compare them to yours. If they're the same, return the spindles.

I don't know what to tell you on the coils. I would definitely toss them for some cut down stock springs or aftermarket dropped springs. There's no reason to have the 'spacers' you described other than a weak spring.

You're going to need to bite the bullet & get some shorter headers if you want it real low. Get some 3/4 length headers for a 67-77 BBC Chevelle. They should fit w/minimal trimming on the top frame rail. I'm using some from Sanderson but several manufacturers make them.

I hope this helps. . .....

Ya the headers are a good idea but how about the suspension who's a good place to buy from.Like i said would like to bag it but also want to keep it a bolt on deal and dont really need the frame on the ground.
