66 2wd stock spring height

[66SouthernClassic]

I am doing power disk brakes and drop beams. I have already painted the donor truck springs, then found out you can't use them. So ia am just going to cut down the donor truck springs.

So therefore I need measurments from good stock 66 springs.

If there is a page u can give me the link to or just good measurements I would appreciate it.

I am almost ready to start assembly.

Here you go. These are from a 65. Should be the same.

Personally I'd install the original springs, let it down and see where she sits. If you want a bit more lower then start by cutting one coil off the originals. The upper spring perch is different from about 68 or so on so that may be the reason you're having issues? Since you are using drop beams I'd mock all this up and see if that is what you really want. Again JMHO!

thanks, and the originals are bent outta shap from heating them to collapse them in my younger days as a temp solution that turned kinda perm.

how do I get photobucket images to appear on the page instead of clicking a link.

Open your photo bucket in one tab and Slicks in another so you can go back and forth . You want the IMG link from your photo bucket page it is the bottom option in the dropdown menu on my photo bucket and will look like this ( without the spaces I am adding here to illustrate ) .
