1964 Power Wagon Town Panel - lowering options?
Posted: Fri Mar 24, 2017 12:19 pm
So I am the new owner of a 1964 Power Wagon Town Panel, and a 65 parts truck that I will be selling. I do not have the truck in my possession yet. I am having it shipped to me. I knew it was tall, but the guy I'm buying it from says it is 7' 4" tall, 88 inches. I park in a parking garage at work, it isn't marked for height limit. I called the manager and he is sending someone in to measure.
Anyway, is there an easy way to lower this thing a bit? I like the stance it has, but knocking a couple of inches off might be good for the ability to park. I plan to set this thing up as a family hauler / vacation vehicle but it will be my daily driver. Since I can't see under the truck yet I thought I would ask for throughts.
Is this going to be as easy as pulling out a couple of blocks on the leaf springs, or swapping in new springs? I've lowered a 2wd Ranger before, but I'm not sure how these trucks are setup.
Thanks
Rocky
