Where is a good place to find suspension parts for a 68 swb?

My truck has been lowered but Im not sure how. I can get pictures if it would help.

I'd like to stiffen the rear up and tighten the front. If you know what I mean. lol

It all depends on what you want to do and what you are working with. If you surf the forums, you'll find tons of info on just about anyway to raise, lower, stiffen, loosen or mess up your suspension. We love pics here, so go ahead and show us what you're working with and what you want, and I can almost guarantee you quite a few people will chime in with their two cents worth. By the way, welcome to the board.

Check out Early Classic Enterprises (ECE). They offer some of the greatest parts on the market and offer extremely great customer service.

Also check out the Drop pics page so you can see what drop will look best on your truck... here Click next at the bottom of the page to get to the 67-72 SWB photos.

Best of luck with the decision and by the way...

Thanks for the welcome.
My truck has been lowered already.

I'll get pictures up tomorrow.

Basically I just want to replace all the bushings and stuff like that.

It has drop spindles on front and lowering springs on rear. They look new but sure are bouncy.
