    Lowering a '55 Chevy Cameo Pick up

    I need some basic lowering advice. I've got the above pick up that I would like to lower. I don't want a pavement scraper but something with an aggressive stance.  This would be my first time to lower a model and I just some basic steps if possible. I wanted to check and see if anyone has lowered this type of model.

    Does your kit come with the super dropped front axle that the regular 55 Chev p/u comes with?  if not, send me a PM with your address and I'll send you one.

     Gary,

    I have't received it yet. I have a feeling it will be here today.

    Now Mr. Mass Plastic, we're all looking forward to seeing pictures of that 55 down in the weeds.

    I used the lowered I beam axel mounted on top of the springs with 23'chrome tikis for both of these. Red one has sectioned interior and yellow was seriously channeled.
