Dropped Uprights?
Hello,
New to this forum. Attempting a total restoration on a 1962 C1. I have a lot of questions and have found many answers here.
Does anyone have experience and/or comments on the Fatman Fabrication (now Southern Rods & Parts) dropped uprights and dropped steering arms for C1?.
Thank you!

I do not, but the 50s passenger car uprights drop in about 1 1/2".

Scott,
Those are 53 & 54 passenger car Chevy spindle supports.
And the drop is under 1"..
I put them on my 62, about 12 years ago.
