Drop axles??

[chopper tom]

anyone running a dropped axle under ther 47-54 chevy truck?
With power string what is required to hook it up?
And is a sterring shock worth putting on?

personally i would not put the power steering on the str8 axle, I did that to a 54 a couple of yrs ago and was too quick,i even had instakked a stabilizer shock which didnt help much but its my .02

I run a 3" drop axle and monoleafs on my 53. For powersteering I use an old box from a mid 80's truck. I had to fab up my own mounts to keep all the angles right so as to avoid bumpsteer.

I did mine the same way and had to move the shock back on the drivers side .but i feel that the shock is'nt working properly when you take a curve?
And i used a steering arm off of a late 60's chevy car ,and it tends to over steer in a curve some too?I also took out 2 leafs on the front and i believe that hurt me some also?
I would love some more info from others with the same set up?
