    Unhappy Lowering 39 Chevy Straigh axle front

     



    I am restro rodding a 39 Chevy Master85 with a straight front axke, does any one sell a dropped axle or does anyone have any other suggestions on how to lower it besides putting on a new front end.

    Thanks for any help you can give. ( a newbe)

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

    Luck occurs when preparation and opportunity converge.

    I had a 40 Chevy at one time. I used the original straight axle, Took leaf springs n' stuff off and replaced it w/coil overs. Did it on a budget back then, so it couldn't have cost too much. Shocks and some fabbin'.
