Lowering a 67 c20
I am trying to figure out the best way to lower a 67 c20. The only thing I seem to be able to find is front lowering coils and rear drop blocks.

Re: Lowering a 67 c20
It all depend on if you have a leaf spring or trailing arm truck and how low you want to go. You can use C10 drop springs you will lower the hauling & towing capacity unless you go with air bags. If you want to get real low you are going to need a C-notch which is not recommend if you plan on towing. There are C-notches that claim to be capable of towing but I personally wouldn't tow with one without welding in some serious bracing.
I dropped my 68 C20 using 2.5" drop spindles, air bags & a heavy Duty C-notch from CPP. All of the drop spindles require you to upgrade to disc brakes. You need spindles designed for 63-70 trucks in order to reuse you existing ball joints & tie rods. 71-72 trucks have joints & rods. You can use 71-72 spindles but you will need to change your ball joints and use you outter tie rods in the inside position with 71-72 outter tie rods and a special tie rod adapter. There are quite a few threads about lowering C20s on this site. All your questions have already been answered just need to use the search bar. If you have any more question I probably know the answer. Good luck! |

When ECE was still in business I would have recommended buying front and rear coils from them, anymore, not sure who to recommend. |
Re: Lowering a 67 c20
I’m sorry I guess I should have been more specific. I was not able to find disk brake conversion drop spindles on the cpp website that are made for a 67 c20.

I Forgot to mention, the only drop spindles that allow you to keep the 8 lug pattern are the 71-87 design which require you to change ball joints and outer tie rods. The 63-7O spindles CPP sells are designed to swap to 5/6 lug. I got mine from POL: https://www.performanceonline.com/19...-drop-spindle/ |

Thank you guys for all your help. The reason I was asking is because I was I found a c20 that I was going to purchase. That deal fell through. But feel free to continue on in your conversation.
