Restarting my 67 c10 project

Hi all, I'm considering getting to work on my truck I bought almost 15 years ago. I have a 68 c20 cab, front clip and title and a 71/2 swb 2wd frame (no suspension. I just realized that early classic enterprise no longer exists. What companies should be my goto these days to get the frame on the ground? I'd like 5 lug, disc brakes and a 3/5 or 4/6 drop and will be a big block truck. I'm not interested in notching the frame. Basically in the end I want modern suspension/handling for a cruiser. Thanks

Best thing is to search on here. All your questions should be common.

I think over 5” in back you will need the notch. My truck is 5”…

I like classic industries. I think they have suspension parts.

Re: Restarting my 67 c10 project

I've just completed a suspension swap on my truck with mostly CPP stuff. I know they get knocked for poor customer service, but their parts are pretty good if you know what you need. I did 3" springs with modular 2.5" spindles in the front, and 4" HD springs with 2" blocks in the rear, all CPP. It drives nicely. It's maybe a touch stiffer than stock. With the HD rear springs and blocks, I am at a 6" rear drop and no notch. I have not had any crashing of the rear into the frame so far.
