69 gmc lowering?
I have a 69 gmc 1/2 ton sb with coils in front and leaf springs in back. I want to do a 4/6 drop without cutting or c-notching the frame. i dont want a raked look, im looking for it to be level. Its also 6 lug and power drum brakes. I think it would probably be a good idea to change over to 5 lug and front disc brakes at the same time. need advice and suggestions on the best way to go about this. thanks

Re: 69 gmc lowering?
Axle flip. I'm pretty sure ECE sells conversion axles and all the other stuff I'm going to tell you about. You could locate a 71/72 leaf rear or a '70 and swap 71/72 axles in. Your '69 rear is narrower. Up front you could buy the 5-lug disc kit (ECE) or locate 71/72 parts and just buy drop spindles. They sell lowering leafs,too,if you don't do the axle flip

Re: 69 gmc lowering?
Another ECE (Early Classic Enterprise) fan here. Their customer service is great, very knowledgeable. Actually JUST finished installing a kit on a '70 that had '71/'72 disc on it, swapped the rear axles, and rebuilt the front end. I dont know much, but I may can head you in the right direction. And yes in my opinion is a great time to do the brake upgrade.
