hey everybody.  i have a 67 chevy c-10.  this is my first oldskool by the way.  it is a 2wd, shortbed, fleetside.  heres the deal.  i wanna lower it.  what i have is a 67 cab, and frontend on a 68 gmc chassis with rear leaf springs.  the front end suspension has been converted to power discs from a 76 half ton.  i wanna do a 5-7 drop on it.  in front i can find what i need to do the job:  spindles and coils in front.  in the rear, i cant seem to find a flip kit for my truck.  plenty for 73-87.  can i use on of those kits with success?  also whats a decent brand for shocks?

thanks  
           

The rear is the easy part. It's basically just lowering blocks, and maybe different rear leafs. The front might be a little trickier, but if you've got a '76 front end on it, you could see if parts for the '73-'87 might fit. Edelbrock makes some nice shocks, Bilstein are also good (but expensive).  

alright...if i put blocks as it is right now it would lift instead of lower, but what i wanna do is put a flip kit for the rear leafs.  do you know where i can get the right flip kit (axle locators, u-bolts, plates and shock extender mounts) for my truck?  thats the part im having difficulty locating.  thanks
