American Racing had them until recently.. They disco'd them last spring for the 17" 5x5.5" pattern. I got them for a song from a wheel place.

I have a hard time understanding the lowering part? But it sure is a clean ride!

Very nice and very clean ride psquare! I have yet to install my DJM beams on my '69. The beams are for a '75-'79 (larger kingpin) as I have the disc brake setup from a '78 to go in when I do the beam install. You have more plans for yours?

Yah, bunch of stuff. Fix the grill shell, clean up the interior, straighten out the doozies in the engine bay, fix some tailgate issues, then when the tranny finally kicks it, wide ratio C6...

Just a few things, lol.

Looks awesome! Does anyone know if you can install the DJM drop kit and then cut an inch out of the springs if it will still align? And where is a good place to purchase the drop kit?
