How much drop is that? Looks good

Iron-Butt · 10-11-2003, 11:21 AM

Front 2 1/2 in spindles with 2 inch lower springs.
Rear 4 inch lower springs

ItsNotABlazer · 10-11-2003, 09:18 PM

Wow that looks really nice. Are those Impala SS wheels? What brand parts did you use for the drop?

Brad

LeRoy · 10-11-2003, 09:46 PM

Only 4" in the rear. My longbox didn't drop that far. What brand of springs are you running? What do you have for power, SB? I'm wedging a 402 in my Shorty and want it a tad lower.

Iron-Butt · 10-12-2003, 07:24 AM

they are ss impala wheels with kumho estca stx tires. 255/50/17.

I used early classis springs. 2 inch in front and 4 inch in the rear.
the drop spindles are mcgaughy that I ordered from gmcpauls.
all I need now is the correct set of shocks. then its up to Kansas City to change out the I-6 for a 350 v8 and air conditioner insalled. Then the truck will be painted Prowler Blue with some kind of Flames (?)

That looks killer! I sure wish I had a set of those wheels for my '84....corn

zenish · 01-07-2004, 09:08 PM

are the impaulas 5 on 5 or are you using adapters?

Tx Firefighter · 01-08-2004, 01:52 AM

Impalas are 5 on 5. The wheels are cheap too.

Tx Firefighter · 01-08-2004, 01:53 AM

David, were you ever able to do anything with those shock numbers I gave you?

The truck looks very nice.

Iron-Butt · 01-09-2004, 09:04 PM

No. I could not find any cross over numbers. So I measured from center eye to eye. I went to the local Auto Zone. I looked in the specs book until I found shocks that would match. $92.00 later I had four shocks that would work.

The ride is great and the truck just got back from a 1200 mile trip to pick up its new heart (93 model gm goodwrench crate motor). A 305 with about 10,000 miles on it.

Blue Beard · 01-09-2004, 11:21 PM

Nice job, looks totally different......

corn · 01-12-2004, 03:41 AM

Sorry, I snuck in & heated up your springs the other night...corn
