Re: 1963 C10 project LWB Fleetside

I decided to go a a bit lower with a 3" front, 4" rear spring and shock kit. Getting those old. Bolts out of that rear ha ger was awful. We ended up taking a drill bit and running it up and down beside the bolts to get the rust/dirt out to remove them. The front was not easy either, but I learned a lot about how the front end is put together and what needs replacing. I took the panhard bar off and replaced the bushings, and it went right back in place. For those worried about the drop, I didn't need anything special with the 3/4. Everything went back in place and I'm not bottoming out. The only issue was that the muffler shop said the bed was too close to the frame to run the pipes over the axle. So they came out in front of the rear wheels.
