A good way to lower the front of a f-1

Just loweredthe front end on my 52 f-1 by using a 3" dropped axle. Was real pleased with the product and the end result. Truck front seats real nice. Would suggest anyone who would like to lower their truck a dropped axle is a way to go.

I got my axle at Chucks Trucks(203-288-2769). He also installed a disc brake kit on the axle. Was real impress with the quality of axle and the disc brake kit
