Thanks guys! I'd been searching a long time and found this rust free original in Southern California(Escondido) about 5 years ago. Had it trucked up to Washington and it's been in our garage and driven about once a month to keep the bias plys round lol. It's got 126k mi., the 292 Y block with 3 on tree, oil bath air cleaner and love the cross over pipe that connects the exhaust manifolds. My problem is that I want to put on bigger custom wheels/tires and lower it while keeping the original front suspension. Any good solutions?

Thanks Garbz. Are there any drawbacks to doing both of these? Would there be needed mods to the steering?
