Default Re: Lowering a gmc 4000

Thanks POWERSTROKE for the reply.

There is limited distance between the front axle and the oil pan (about 4"). But will try to take out a few leaf springs to gain there.
Good point on the wheel vs brake drum size. I'm going to investigate a lower profile 20" tire. Possibly making a drop bracket to lower the brake plate/spindle.

Very observant noticing box floor or lack of. There was a tree growing through it until recently. Obviously this was a farm truck. Unusual to have the chrome/stainless bumper and grill.

Quite interested in the V6 story. I'm told it was popular for mounting a corn sheller on because of the low end torque. Also told it used as much fuel at idle as running at 60 MPH.
