Thread: Drop Axles

Where can I find dropped axles for a 53 chevy truck at? I have been looking all over and can only find them for Fords.
Thanks for any info!

Shawn-

Thanks Tech! You saved the day, haha. I was looking on that site because I hear that they make the drop axles for chevy's now and I was looking under the truck section but no luck, I guess I had to go to the new products section. Also what about air bagging it later on? If I plan to put a bigger engine with more HP in it and all later in a few years, would air bags be good still or do they not perform good?
Also, to lower this 53 I saw something with some 3 inch lowered nitrous shocks for 40 bucks each (which is cheaper) will this work good do you think? Someone told me on chevy talk that the only way to lower the truck in the front is with a dropped axle.
Thanks again and sorry for all the darn questions.

You can send your existing axle to Mor-Drop in Oakland, California where they will drop it for you. No web site, 1-510-261-1888.

Mark, I forgot about that one! The people on chevy talk told me about that but I hear it's the same price to just buy a new one. I will definetely check it out. Right now I am trying to price everything up that I wan't to try and get done to the truck right now and if I have any money left over after road worthy then I will get the front end lowered some.
I wan't to check into the IFS front end with the air bags as well that I saw performanceonline.com had. I don't know if their setup is good or not because I hear that Air Ride Technologies is the best.
Thanks again you guy's!

Yeah nitrogen shocks are what they are but the brand name or name of them was Nitrous shocks.
www.performanceonline.com had them, check them out and tell me what you think. It says they are 3 inches lower so I don't know. That's what I didn't get either because it's the axle that can lower the truck.

"Classic Performance Products now has available 3” Dropped Front Axles for 1947-54 Chevy "

Is it just me or is there not a dropped axle on their actual site for sale? I guess I will have to call them. Would it be worth it to get a straight axle or go with IFS?
