best options for lowering my 63 c10

hi, hope some of you guys can help me....... i have this 63 c10 here in the U.K i want to lower my truck as i dont really like the height it sits right now. it currently sits on 20inch wheels. it has 2inch drop spindles on the front and as far i as i ca see the rear springs have been heated up and tempered to lower it. i am after peoples opions on the best way to get it lower and also should i get smaller wheels say like 18inch, but finding it hard to find nice wheels with a six bolt patern

any sugestions and ideas will be welcome

thanks Robb

Look around on http://www.azproperformance.com/Wheels/ he has some 6 lug rims here and there.The other option is change it over to a 5 lug but being in the uk its gonna kill you on shipping.As far as lowering just depends how low you want it.

Beautiful truck.
I would add correct drop springs to the truck.
Also look at quality drop shocks.
Since I don't know your set up,... you will need rear drop shocks, rear shock relocators, and an adjustable track bar.
Look here for everything you need:
www.earlyclassic.com.

I would keep the 20's and run a lower profile 40 series tire.
