Re: Post Pics of your Static Drops!!

Lets See Some Static Drops An Details Focused On The 1960-62s Please. I Have A 62 I'm Looking To Do A Static Drop On.. Not Sure If Going The Full Disc Brake Swap Or Just Torsion Bar Tweaking. I Also Will Be Pulling A 13ft Vintage Camper. So Thinking Maybe C Notch For Travel Or Not

This was a few years back before I changed the wheels and tires. 2.5” dropped
spindles with the T-bars turned down a little. 15 x 8 inch wheels. 255-60-15 front and 275-60-15 rear. 4 inch lowered rear coils. No C-notch.

No, Sir. I'm running a '65 12 bolt rear so I had to modify my existing panhard. It's not adjustable. I don't recall the amount of travel I had but didn't have issues bottoming out or hitting bump stops. I've since switched to bags and honestly prefer those better, especially for heavier loads.

Yes, Sir. On this photo, I was running Hedman 69260 headers with a 383/700R4 drive train.
