5/6 drop hotchkiss suspension

Found a long bed truck, running, but it has a 5/6 drop Hotchkiss suspension.

That seems really low. I guess I could pull it off and go back stock, right?

s10 right?

5/6 will absolutely be a combination of spindles AND springs in the front and leafs AND drop blocks in the back, so you can just put in some stock springs and the drop blocks and you will have a nice 2/3 drop, almost perfect

Joedoh, thank you. That is exactly what I'll do. I'm going to go look at it tomorrow. Finally, a regular cab, long bed with a V6 and auto (for weight while building) and all the other parts I need.
