i just picked up a 76 im the second owner it runs and drives motor runs strong its all original exept white spoke wheels i want to lower it and posibly do some performance to it but nothing drastic just a clean driver so i need some ideas????????????

Slam it! Spray the adjuster bolts
on the torsion bars with a bunch of penetrating oil
And let it soak for a few days. Lift the front off the ground
To unload the torsion bars then back the tension off
To lower the front. In the rear, pull the overload
Spring install a 1" or 2" lowering block. If you go
With a 1" block you can retain the stock U-bolts.
If you go with the 2" block you will have to use the
U-bolts in the kit, but here's where it gets tricky.
The U-bolts in the lowering kits are a little too wide
For the Luv rearend and have to be heated and rebent
To fit. Also the pins on the blocks are just a little too
Big around and have to be filed down some to fit. Take
A Look at my truck in the projects thread under
RatRod love, it is 1" block with overload spring removed
Rolling on 16"s that should give you and idea about
Wether you want 1" or 2". Also a cheap source for wheels
Late model 6 lug Chevy truck wheels are. Bolt on and
Can usually be scored cheap. Good luck oh and BTW. Post
Pics!

_________________

Really I don't wanna cut it at all unless I have to but I do really like the look of them on the ground I had a 74 that I had I let the torsions all the way out and had a four inch block in the rear but it road like a tank i had 15s on that one I was hoping I could squeak 18s under this one what size wheels and tires are u guys running?

205X50X16 and 215X60X16 the rear tires are a little taller than I wanted but the price was right

The 50s don't rub on the front at all

At the most extreme turn possible the rim rubs the lower control arm, not the tire just
the rim. Haven't had any problems in the month that I've had this set up.

My truck has white spoke 14s maybe I'll powdercoat them black an rock them let me know what ur tires are

Look at stock. 6 lugs as some of the factory wheels can be had dirt cheap and look pretty good. And low, low is never enough till you digging a trench! I agree slam that truck!
