Hey guys. I love this thread... Lets keep it going. Im still tryin to get some pics of mine to load.

Thinking of selling this one. It is my dad's and he can't drive it anymore. 327 3x2 intake 3 speed manual w/OD, 12 bolt w/ 3.08 gears. Nice driver but needs cometics redone. I've been driving it around but I have no place to keep it.

 

apache63 - love the stance on that one!! Just threw together a bed with some leftover redwood my bro had laying around - stoked - havent had a bed in this truck in a looooong time!

 

New pic of my '62

 

Looking good guys.

 

Looking damn good...

 

My dad bought a 64 283 stick long bed in 64. I totaled it out in71. My wifes dad bought a 66 3/4 in 65 she still has it. We have a 65 long bed shop truck daily driver. a 66 GMc short bed and a whole bunch of project& parts trucks. Hope you can see them though the weeds. Lol OldWolf

 

I just got a 1966 Chevy 1/2 ton long box. 250 six, truck 4 speed, 12 bolt, 51,000 actual miles.....bla,bla,bla. What is the best way to lower it 3" all the way around. Blocks in back? Cut one coil in front? Going to do it soon, any help would be appreciated. Keeping this one old school. It's going to stay a daily worker. Thanks, Gary

 

In the front you can cut the springs if you like your ride to be like a hay wagon. I would say you can get away with drop springs for just a 3in. but you might have to go with spindles. The back you can use blocks or drop springs or a combo of both. I'm not sure how far you can go before you have to get a longer pan hard bar though. I want to say 4 inches but I lowered my '65 over a year ago and I can't remember. Check out CPP or Early Classic Enterprises and you can figure out what you will need. Hope that helps!

 

If you want to make it level you need to go 2" lower in the back. If not just order 3" drop springs. If you do some searching you can find them cheap. I got mine off eBay for 80 a pair free shipping. Best way to go. Just my thoughts. I've never been fond of heating or cutting coils.

 

I cut 1 coil off my front springs and 5" dropspring in the back. My truck sits level and rides like a Cadillac. That is after I removed my front bump stops.

 

Cool thread! This is my first post and I cant figure out how to make the pictures of my truck smaller so I can put them on here.

 

Figured it out.. stupid computer cant stump me! hah. My '64 sittin at the park before I chop it up..

 

Is that a model?

 

I started working for a local Chevorlet Dealership just out of high school in 1968 (Before the Military). Anyway, they needed a hood in the Parts Dept. (Second floor no elevator), so they sent me from the body shop. That hood was huge! Anyway, that's when I found out how Big the 60' - 66' Chevy truck hood was!

 

No sir- far from a model.

 

Here's a pic of my 66 daily driver, no bags btw.
Getting ready to put my GMC hood on sometime soon, always liked the way they looked.

 

my 65. gonna lower and add some scallops

 

My 66 shortbed.

Bought it at Pomona swap early last year, in Australia now.

Gave it a re-paint, fresh 350, speed man

 

says the guy deadlifting the shovelhead in his avatar....hahhaaa but your right - i think i busted one of my nuts one night removing mine all alone......thing still aint worked right after that! talking about the ball of course!

 

Ouch, I moved mine just around the shop, 15 feet and was not impressed. Couldn't image removing solo, who are you Atlas.
