Re: lowering 1962 3/4
There isn't a lot of options for a 3/4 ton without a lot of swapping. It's even harder for the older fronts.
You can swap the front for an updated setup from a '73 C20 and there are much more options. I didn't find a whole lot for my '66 when I was first looking, but I didn't look at all possible options, either.

CPP has some 3/4 ton 6 lug drop spindles, check there, the rear is easier it should be on leaf spring, just put the springs on the bottom of the axle instead of the top.
maybe it was performance online, someone has 3/4 ton 6 lug that would fit a 88 burb front end which was my donor vehicle.. Last edited by kieth; 06-16-2011 at 02:57 PM. |

I did find some here just now: http://www.performanceonline.com/196...dle-Set-16683/ But it doesn't say what rotor, just C10 heavy duty, so no telling what spindles it has and what will work. Since it's listed for the 60-62, I am guessing it uses the stock ball joints and tie rods.

Re: lowering 1962 3/4
Since your front end is torsion bars couldn't you just loosen them like the 1/2 ton guys do. Then just put in drop coils from CCP or someone. If you lowering it I'm guesing your not going to carry any heavy stuff.
