I got mine from CPP www.classicperform.com got 4wheel dick brake, 4 inch lower springs, new trailing arm support, (corrects the pinion aliment) 2 inch dropped spindles and 2 inch lowering springs, sway bars front and rear, and now adding tubular A arms. maybe 3 grand for all

Re: 67 suspension drop

There is a less expensive way to go for the front brakes.
I recommend that you use the stock disk set up off of a 71-72 1/2 ton, (If you get the 72 make sure you get the front suspension crossmember) and grab the power master cylinder/booster brackets, and pedal push rod.
Grab a 71-72 rear axle.
For the rest of it go CPP all the way.
Get their 2"/4" drop springs, 2" modular drop spindles and disk brake bracket, 2" lowering blocks for the rear axle, Rear shock relocation kit, 4"/6" Drop shocks, Front shock reinforcement kit, Rear Disk w/e-brake kit and Rear sway bar.
It will handle and stop like a Camaro instead of a pickup.

Brian , great pics , great looking build. I've been looking for donor trucks but found that they are few and far between around here or way over priced for parts. Gonna keep looking.

At the moment none. Just want to convert to disc on both ends.

Re: 67 suspension drop

I went pretty conservative with the suspension on mine and only did a 1/3 drop. I really regret it. I like the way the 4/6 drop looks. If I had to redo it (and I may one day), I would go the route that Xeen describes. Good luck with your build!
