54 Chevy pickup uses a beam axle, no drop spindles . What you need is a dropped axle.

A dropped axle is one that has a more pronounced bend outboard of the spring pad, moving the kingpin up, and thus the chassis down.

Sounds like you're pretty green at this, which is fine, we've all been there at some time. Here's some study material for you so you'll have a better understanding of all that you're dealing with.

It's much easier to promise someone a "free" ride on the wagon than to urge them to pull it.
