There are a multitude of ways to do what you are asking for, and they all have to do with your personal taste. I can't tell you how low you want the truck or if you want the ass end sticking up in the air like Hoofbeatracer and Greg D like, or not. I can't tell you what tirees you like to see either. Gonna need some more info bud, to do with what you like, and welcome to the club!!

I just don't like having to mount training wheels on my back bumper. 
Like JC says your options are nearly limitless depending on your skill and/or wallet. There are plenty here who can offer some advice but need to know where you are headed to give good answers. BTW,

G`day Pappy welcome to the club!, first off I`d get the 20" flats repaired that's no way to lower your truck
, but to lower a 66 I used Dreambeams and cut down springs up front for 4" drop and DJM`s lowering kit for the rear you can see Lenore in my album, nice and easy to do as well.
Alan,
