Way to go John!! That is a beautiful truck. I agree with Cletis and Spanky. Drive it for a while exactly as it is and you will fall in love with it. I had the exact same thoughts as you when I picked up my 58 Burb. Lowering it just seems like the right thing to do. Once you drive it and get used to it though, thoughts of lowering it just seem to go out the window. Trust me.

If you do decide to lower it save all your original parts. Please don't hack up the frame to put in some IFS. I believe that we have a duty to preserve these complete/original vehicles as much as possible. If you want a lowered rat ride, you can always pick up something cheap that someone else butchered and then lost interest in. There aren't many originals left out there. It would be criminal to cut it up. I guess I'm a bit of an old fashioned purist. :-)

Thanks

Larry
